This is unequivocally the best the NFL ever was and ever will be .... Almost all the teams had a QB, Wr duo... The defenses weren't hampered by the rules implemented in the last 10 years.... And the quality of any game on any Sunday was worth watching....
The NFL schedule makers loved putting pretty much meaningless afc vs nfc teams play each other in week 17 before 2009. I don't love Roger Goodell but having division rivals play in week 17 was a brilliant move.
Awesome! This week 17, 2004, was the only week that had highlights on 15 of 16 games possible (as they was a SNF game cowboys vs giants). Week 17, 2017 would have been the only time 16 of 16 games would be shown for highlights (since there was no SNF game for the first time since 1977), but there was no NFL primetime that year and primetime for regular season only was from 1987-2005, 2019-present. Love the music for 15 games out of 16!
@@chrisuncleahmad666 That may be true but Carolina could have still gotten in with a win while the Saints would be playing spoiler to knock Carolina out and getting the Vikings in. Looking back on 2004 week 17 and the playoff scenarios, this was the game that had the best chance to remain meaningful. If there is another one you think is more meaningful, feel free to reply with it

Not to mention the sports Journalism was actually that. Journalism
Thanks for all these uploads dude. Nothing beats oldschool primetime

I think it was fun when the Titans played like the 49ers or Seahawks , it was funny to see the garbage games
Also most of the rival games have the same problem, most of the games are meaningless
Great times this was. Every one was getting Halo 2, Madden 05 for Christmas, the NFL wasn’t as stupid as it is now. I miss the early 2000’s.
Wow, the Packers backup QB was Craig Nall? They might need to draft a new one in next year's draft. I wonder who'll be available...?
Interesting choice for the player header (with all due respect to Rudi Johnson, that was game with nothing at stake for CIN/PHI)
REST EASY DAVID PATTEN
miss this show - what a time it was
Where's week 16? I liked the tribute they did for Reggie White when the show began.
Rest in peace Reggie White. We all miss you.

That 15-1 team was a paper tiger.
Pretty cool how they had the state flag all over the field in AZ
Where do you find these? Trying to find 2001 somewhere

With flex scheduling. Saints-Panthers would have been the SNF game
Nah. The Jets/Rams outcome knocks New Orleans out

@@anonymoususer450 Falcons/Seahawks? That was win or go home for Seattle IIRC
@@chrisuncleahmad666 Seahawks needed a win or a Rams loss to win the division. They actually had a playoff spot clinched
@@anonymoususer450 I stand corrected
