@@TheHolySandwich Nawww ... Brooks was just like any other QB you take away his OC he's a backup. Mike McCarthy was his OC for a while. When McCarthy left so did Brooks career.
It’s amazing to me that we really didn’t know how great that team was when this game aired. I had no idea it would be the beginning of the best era in Saints history
Reggie was such a disappointment. Brees might've actually been able to win more than one super bowl if Bush had been half of what he was supposed to be.
@@DaveedOcho No ask the RBs before Kamara ... how many times is AK used in key games. 2017 in the playoff vs the Panthers he carried the ball 10 times targeted 3 vs the Vikings 11 times targeted 7. In 2018 vs the Eagles carried 16 times, targeted 4, vs Rams carried 8 times, targeted 13, in 2019 vs Vikings carried 7 times, 9 targeted, 2020 vs Bears carried *23 times, targeted *2, vs Bucs carried 18 times, targeted 6. When Brees was able to pass SP did not use AK as a rusher as he di all his RBs. Between the 2017 and 2020 seasons the offense have been more balance due to Brees in ability dominate sorely by throwing. All the season the saints had capable RBs, they never was used. I can remember by halftime vs the Bucs Chris Ivory had close to 100 yds and SP pulled him. Ingram was pulled many times before he and AK teamed up to avoid making his incentives. The way Brees arm was this season what else could SP do?
Nah- they were only 10-6 (they did lose their last game of the year without playing many starters having the bye wrapped up); they lost badly at home against the AFC teams (Bengals and Ravens)- a time in which the AFC was more dominant than the NFC; they did win one playoff game, but they lost in the NFC championship game to a team quarterbacked by Rex Grossman. Bad team? By no means! They made the NFCCG. But I would not consider them underrated. In fact, for being a number two seed in their conference, I would say they were a rather weak two-seeded team.
@@robsmith961 considering they were 3-13 the year before, I’d say that team was a little underrated. Plus that Bears team ran through their defense, not the offense. The offense just had to play clean football and the defense would give them opportunities. They did that all the way until the SB. Hell Manning had a worse game than Brees did against them and he won by two scores while the Saints lost by 25.
No. I just think people overuse the word "underrated." Seriously. Once the social media crowd learned that new word, they never stopped using it regardless of it meaning anything.
As a Browns fan, I remember this game distinctly. It was at the beginning of my senior year of HS, which turned our to be a pretty dramatic year. Anyways, that first play from scrimmage TD called back on a holding call summed up that season and most of the teams during that time period. Our record never really reflected it (except in 2007), but most of those losing years, we had SO MANY CLOSE games that we just couldn't find a way to win. Go back and look at some of the scores during this time period and up until about 2016 or so (16 and 17 were awful). This game was one of them. Our first play was a TD called back because of a hold. Our last offensive play was a quick slant pass that bounced right off Braylon Edwards hands for an INT. We lose by 5. Also, 15 years later. This is just crazy.
As An Eagles Fan, He owned our franchise for nearly a decade. It's sad that his career was wasted on a team that had a terrible defense from 2011-16 during his prime, and got an elite defense as age and injuries caught up to him. At least he got his ring. You will be missed. Carrying and creating the Saints
@@808mitch yes they would've. But we still would've won because our defense was so much better and our offense. We'd put up over 38. Minnesota was the #1 Ranked defense. But Brees wasn't winning his 2nd ring that season. If anything he would've won his 2nd ring the season after.
As a Saints fan living in Dallas I always rooted for the eagles when they played the cowboys. I respect the eagles franchise always has. Glad you guys destroyed Minnesota in that MFC championship game also.
My goat 🐐🏈Drew Brees. The whole reason why i started watching football and fell in love with the game 13 years ago. If it wasn't for drew who inspired me i wouldn't have turned towards something so great(football) and i would probably be in the streets or dead honestly. Not only did he set records but he help my dad's city as much as he could. Gave New Orleans hope not only in football but outside of it too. He got us to the promise land and help turn this franchise into one of the best franchise for the best part of 14 years. I will always remember his 5,000 yd seasons, great accuracy, and amazing resilience. Will always remember the great games and comebacks all throughout his career from when he one in Miami in 09, to when he dueled eli and Odell in one of the best games I've ever seen in '15 to when he clutched it out against Deshaun Watson and DeAndre Hopkins last season. Even tho he had his bad moments i never once thought he sucked cuz everyone does. Lol man i didn't even cry when my grandma died but i can't help feeling like ima cry cuz drew leaving I won't tho. Instead of miss im gonna celebrate the moments he gave to New Orleans appreciate him. Drew Brees not only save my team but he has save me and me other lives in ways most people wouldn't understand. Even tho u might never seen this i gotta say it I appreciate it Drew everything u did for the team, city, others lives and my life too. Thanks for the moments and no matter what anyone says Drew Brees will always be the GOAT to me🐐 Thanks Drew. WHODAT
NFL Throwback, I would love to recommend a game to be shown on this channel, and that’s the Monday Night Football- Colts vs Panthers Week 8 2015 game. The game had both Luck and Newton in their primes, it was exciting to see both young QBs. I also remember the game was decided in Overtime, and was a class prime time thriller that no one talks about. I think that with Cam resigning with New England and Olsen and Thomas Davis retiring it would make sense to show a Panthers game during that wonderful 2015 season. It could maybe be called like “Luck and Newton Duel it out in Primetime” or something of that nature. Regardless, keep up the fantastic work!!!
Am I the only one who started getting annoyed by the noise the Fox scoreboard on the top kept making?! Once you heard it, you couldn’t help but hear it every time!!!
Yeah. Very annoying. Noticed it after a few minutes and came to check the comments to see if it was annoying anybody else haha. How do you know it’s the scoreboard tho?
Travis B it was part of the 2006 rebrand by FOX for their scoreboard, graphics and sounds. I wanna say they got rid of that conveyor belt sound+click noise later in 2006 or in 2007. This scoreboard/graphics used from 2006-2009 were Fox’s worst they’ve ever used imo.
It's so interesting to see how much the game has changed over the years in terms of strategy, you would never see so many plays under Center in todays NFL. Really impressive that Drew was always able to adapt to the different play styles over the years, I would always think of him as a modern QB even in his older years. That's one of the many reasons why he became a Lock for the HOF!
Drew Brees' 2006 season is one of those really good forgotten years that no one talks about. Took over a sorry team that went 3-13 the year prior and immediately turns them around, helping them finish with a 10-6 record and an NFC South division title. Made it all the way to the NFC Championship game where the magic ultimately ran out against Chicago, but still a very impressive year nonetheless. Ironically enough, those Bears played Peyton Manning's Colts in the Super Bowl in Miami, something Drew Brees would go onto to do 3 seasons later. Only difference was that Brees came out on top unlike Chicago. One helluva career for the man. Damn shame it ended on such a sour note though. Wishing him all the best in retirement. Next up, Canton, OH.
Despite being a die-hard Falcons fan, I put my fandom to the side and genuinely cheered the Saints on throughout the season. At the end of the day, the way the team galvanized NO had to be recognized. Everything else is secondary.
The day my choking Falcons knew we were in for a heated rivalry for the ages that would feel like it would never end. Thanks for breaking my heart at times and thanks for being one of the best QB’s ever. I will and will not miss you Drew! Happy retirement.
Man, you sound like Michael Jordan when Larry Bird retired. You won't miss them at all for wrecking your chances. lol. Don't worry. The NFC South today is up for grabs. It's anyone's division now.
@@dbsti3006 This comment was made a year and a half ago so there’s no way I could’ve predicted the downfall of the division the way it had. So lol for making this comment almost two years later? We are all bad but it’s still one of the best rivalries in the league you can’t deny that. The games between Ryan and Brees will be remembered for generations.
This meant so much to me getting to see this game again. It’s always appreciated anytime you guys post a Saints game from 06-09 because my dad and I went to most of those games. It’s great to reminisce.
Awesome to see it condensed I have pretty much as a Saints fan all the games once they started putting them on iTunes and then they would have DVDs of the best of every season which would be three games sometimes four so I have this one I recorded too as well a lot of them on VHS until that ended when finally I got rid of it love to see the legend that is Drew Brees start his Ascension to an elite quarterback
They are doing a lot of things now but if you look at the end of the day it's the guys who can make the throws from the pocket winning these playoff games.
Oh yeah I definitely remember this one and this was also Reggie Bush's debut and then you got the great Ron Pitts commentating keep uploading more of his games we love it!
Where it all began and Drew Brees was the heart and soul for New Orleans and thank you for all the memories he has gifted us both on and off the field your my all time favorite player and I’m gonna miss you who dat nation
@@NoelKunz Charlie Frye started week 1 for the Browns in 2007 and lost by 40. He was benched for Derek Anderson, who proceeded to go 10-5 that season. Maybe Charlie Frye wasn’t all that, bub
@@SerialGrunt I said not bad I didn't say great or amazing. And being a starter for the Browns or any organization can still spell disaster. Jeff Garcia did the same thing with the Browns and sucked, then went on to lead two other teams to the playoffs. The coaching and orgs can play a role as to whether a QB is a fit and he clearly wasn't for the Browns. I never said he was amazing, just not bad, bub.
I was at this game. When Edwards caught that wide open TD (that was called back) on the first play from scrimmage, the whole stadium was chanting “Super Bowl”. Life of a Browns fan, albeit not so much anymore 😉
I was at this game in Cleveland a friend of mine took me. My second football game ever. I had binoculars taped to my face. I seen the next one in Cleveland also.
I remember this game. I was just a freshman in high school ('06-'07 year). Not a Saints fan, but Drew Brees was one of my other favorite NFL QB's besides Tom Brady. Tom Brady will always be my top favorite QB, but Drew Brees was one of my favorite QB's. Congratulations on your career Drew Brees. Thank You Drew.
I’ll never forget this game. Marques colston coming out party. I was sold on Drew as a great after this one. Rest In Peace William Smith. Reggie bush was that dude.
I'll never forget the KABLOWW! that Eagles LB put on Bush in the first playoff gm of this same season. Bush had to sit on 1 knee for a minute and contemplate still playing.
I remember the days when my saints were terrible, but the addition of Drew Brees turned the tables, without him, we would still be an irrelevant non loved teams, I remember the day the dome re-opened after Katrina against our rivals, that game was amazing, it wasn’t just a rivalry it was a dream come true, brees led us to a 10-6 record and an NFC championship where eventually we lost to the bears but redeemed ourselves with a superbowl, man those were the best moments and I’m proud to be a fan of this team, I love this team and always will and New Orleans will always have my back and even if the saints are terrible I won’t stop cheering for the team I been cheering for ever since I started watching football, thanks for the memories brees and hopefully Carr and get the job done ❤ WHO DAT⚜️
If possible, I’d love to see 49ers vs. Cardinals from Week 5 of 2004 sometime this off-season. It featured a wild comeback by the 49ers and Fitz’s first NFL TD
Not first for the comments, but it will be the last but greatest moments I’ve seen on Brees. One of my favorite players. Too early to retire for me. It’s not just sad he didn’t win MVP awards or a second SB. It’s heartbreaking the future in New Orleans is at stake too. BTW, today is the day I’m gonna watch the “Sea of Hands” AND the “Ghost of the Goalpost” ON TV. I’m NOT lying. Nor I’m NOT trying to give a clickbait. But I’m glad they’re showing the old games too. Will you too show them @NFLThrowback? I’ll have them on DVR soon! :)
Lol Man that was sloppy play but they got the win.... this was the start of nearly over a decade of saints domination.... I am so grateful to have been able to watch Drew Compete amd breakall the records all these years.... the last 2 seasons his shoulder and mobility were gone the zip and pocket footwork just wasn't physically able .. but he will forever be a legend in N.O, louisiana, and saints fans around the world a new chapter has emerged....(to my grave I'll always believe we were cheated in nfc championshi gamee shouldbe been our super bowl that year
I forgot COVID didn't exist then. Im looking at the crowd asking "where is their masks & why are they so close?" Quarantine Life.....🤦 Congrats Drew Brees! You left a great legacy! 🎊💯🎉
Drew Brees will be one of the best QBs in the history of the NFL , and yes it will be very weird without him if he decides to call it quits and retire which i can definitely see happening
Drew Brees instantly made the saints more relevant and himself a hall of fame quarterback
Better than Aaron Brooks🤤

Winslow: Going to Jail for the Rest of his life
Crazy how life shakes out

Drew Brees will be one of the best QBs ever it will be wierd with out him. Today is the anniversary of the day the he signed with the saints
He’s probably the best NFL player to never win an NFL MVP award.
Ah yes! Those were the days when Fox used to have a big orange square as a “logo” for the Cleveland Browns. Good times 😂😂😂

I was at this game in Cleveland a friend of mine took me. My second football game ever. I had binoculars taped to my face. I seen the next one in Cleveland also.
god I remember Drew’s first game with the chargers which makes feel very old.
The FOX scoreboard now and this one are the best ones
Finally I see someone liking the current fox scoreboards as well
@@laurinnn it’s the best scoreboard since the FOX one from the mid 2000s
@@icetray2727 yep definitely
You are correct this is the best one. It's my favorite one also. Wish it would come back.
Congrats Drew! See you in Canton from a Giants fan
*and a legend was born*
Drew bress had a great carcer and won a super bowl with the saints and he had a great career and now retire strong
Correct spelling of "career", I read cancer at first
Go see a dr
Casue I did not say cancer
No
It’s funny how they acted like every time Reggie Bush touched the ball it was gonna be a TD
Y’all had this pre prepared no way y’all made this in less than 5 minutes lmao
Yea they did
And also do you wanna be friends?
@@blizzz. why
This was his his first game wow. Time flies
Don't forget to upload the game where he returned and faced against the Chargers
I remember this game. I was just a freshman in high school ('06-'07 year). Not a Saints fan, but Drew Brees was one of my other favorite NFL QB's besides Tom Brady. Tom Brady will always be my top favorite QB, but Drew Brees was one of my favorite QB's. Congratulations on your career Drew Brees. Thank You Drew.
I’ll never forget this game. Marques colston coming out party. I was sold on Drew as a great after this one. Rest In Peace William Smith. Reggie bush was that dude.
what a historic career by Drew Brees
Deuce Mcallister was a BEAST back in the day.
I'll never forget the KABLOWW! that Eagles LB put on Bush in the first playoff gm of this same season. Bush had to sit on 1 knee for a minute and contemplate still playing.
The sound before the snap is ridiculous
I’m gonna miss Drew 😢
Drew Brees such a Great QB
Amazing Memories of drew Brees to play at Saint
I remember the days when my saints were terrible, but the addition of Drew Brees turned the tables, without him, we would still be an irrelevant non loved teams, I remember the day the dome re-opened after Katrina against our rivals, that game was amazing, it wasn’t just a rivalry it was a dream come true, brees led us to a 10-6 record and an NFC championship where eventually we lost to the bears but redeemed ourselves with a superbowl, man those were the best moments and I’m proud to be a fan of this team, I love this team and always will and New Orleans will always have my back and even if the saints are terrible I won’t stop cheering for the team I been cheering for ever since I started watching football, thanks for the memories brees and hopefully Carr and get the job done ❤ WHO DAT⚜️
Great video!
If possible, I’d love to see 49ers vs. Cardinals from Week 5 of 2004 sometime this off-season. It featured a wild comeback by the 49ers and Fitz’s first NFL TD
NFL Throwback,
Can you please show the game of the Giants and Panthers in 2015? The one where Odell and Norman got into it.
Congrats on a great career drew
Not first for the comments, but it will be the last but greatest moments I’ve seen on Brees. One of my favorite players. Too early to retire for me.
It’s not just sad he didn’t win MVP awards or a second SB. It’s heartbreaking the future in New Orleans is at stake too.
BTW, today is the day I’m gonna watch the “Sea of Hands” AND the “Ghost of the Goalpost” ON TV. I’m NOT lying. Nor I’m NOT trying to give a clickbait. But I’m glad they’re showing the old games too.
Will you too show them @NFLThrowback? I’ll have them on DVR soon! :)
I’m going to miss drew just a good person won’t be the same without him good luck drew enjoy retirement
What a career he had with this team, he will be missed.🙌
What a fucking career man.
I'll miss him😔
I was serving an oversees tour in Iraq when this game was played. Wow how time has flown and what a great career he has had. But im glad he retired.
I was a freshman in high school at the time.
First year of those new Fox graphics
I will really miss this guy.
Lol Man that was sloppy play but they got the win.... this was the start of nearly over a decade of saints domination.... I am so grateful to have been able to watch Drew Compete amd breakall the records all these years.... the last 2 seasons his shoulder and mobility were gone the zip and pocket footwork just wasn't physically able .. but he will forever be a legend in N.O, louisiana, and saints fans around the world a new chapter has emerged....(to my grave I'll always believe we were cheated in nfc championshi gamee shouldbe been our super bowl that year
I forgot COVID didn't exist then. Im looking at the crowd asking "where is their masks & why are they so close?" Quarantine Life.....🤦
Congrats Drew Brees! You left a great legacy! 🎊💯🎉
The saints defense was BIG time during their beginning to relevance in NOLA
Thank You Drew!
The Saints d-line was a beast then. Got pressure every play!
Retirement tribute to Drew Brees
What a time for this to be uploaded
AWESOME MAN!👍🤙✌💯 GREAT JOB!💯👍
Drew Brees will be one of the best QBs in the history of the NFL , and yes it will be very weird without him if he decides to call it quits and retire which i can definitely see happening
Dude he just retired that's why the video was posted. Hellooo lol
Drew brees is a legend!
Geez. This feels like a life time ago.
