As a Brady fan, I always rooted against Peyton while he was playing, but now that he's retired, I miss watching him play. He was a true genius and magician at quarterback
There’s really nothing like the Peyton vs Brady duels. For 15 years, they’d almost always get matched up and it was always an incredibly important game for playoff seeding. And the games themselves were often classics. You got the early playoff beat downs by the Patriots, the goal line stand in 04, the colts comeback in the AFCCG, the Patriots comeback to keep their perfect season alive, the 4th and 2 game, the pats comeback from down 24-0, and finally the 2015 AFCCG that came down to a 2pc. So many amazing games
@@Braylenc123 It's certainly in the top 5 but greatest? Well, you also had these in no particular order... 1. Mckenroe vs Borg 2. Magic Johnson vs Larry Bird 3. Ali vs Frazier 4. Holmes vs Moriarty
@@TSWest left out duke vs Carolina, they literally played that game all over the world during the 80’ and 90’s, and even to this day it’s one of the highest viewed sporting events in the world.
@@DopeIsotope I am lions fan I am just sad Barry retired early and Calvin Johnson if the management did not make them leave I think both of them would have better and more legendary careers
5x MVP & 7x *FIRST* Team All-Pro, he was just ridiculous in his prime. If he had a proper O-Coordinator other than himself and allocated some offense in exchange for defense his stats might’ve been down but his championships would be way up.
People don’t realize Manning went to his 4 Super Bowls with 4 different Head Coaches and Offensive Coordinators. Manning was the play caller and coach of the offense.
You do wonder, but also have to point out that his defense often did play well enough to win. They forced the turnover against the Steelers to give them a last chance, held the patriots to 20 and 17!in those playoff losses despite the colts offense having something like 8 turnovers in both games
@@jrad410 those were the only times his defense played well enough. Ok the Steelers game vanderjack chocked horrificly in the clutch. Then in the other time Peyton made the playoffs with the colts his defense was busy giving up game losing drives to the likes of billy volick and mark sanchez.
@@justyouraveragetrashcan5384 right but even in that’s loss to the jets the colts only scored one touchdown. The defense gave it up at the end, but it’s not like they got torched in the game. Yea 07 Chargers loss was just awful by the defense, but the majority of Peyton’s playoff losses with the colts, the opposing team averaged around 20 points scored often with turnovers to help.
@@jrad410 they scored one touchdown but in the entire second half they only had 3 possessions and scored on all three the defense let them down in that game too
Now that the helmet rule is changing back I'm looking forward to seeing more throwbacks on Thanksgiving. It been nice that the lions brought their's back, now the cowboys and many other teams can do the same
@@Ambivalence18 ok so starting in 2013 players had to wear the same helmet shell all season. The idea was that it would be safer because it would mold to your head better but after 8 years it doesn't seem to make a difference when it comes to head injuries. So they are getting rid of the rule. This effected throwbacks because before this rule players could own multiple helmets of different colors for whatever uniform they wore. Examples included the Patriots having the default sliver and pat patriot white. The Buccaneers with the default putter and the white for the creamsicle throwback. Or the Cowboys with the sliver default and the white Thanksgiving throwbacks. You haven't seen any of these throwbacks since 2012 because teams were limited to only one helmet. Now teams are allowed to change logos and facemasks on the shell, so you still saw teams like the Bears and Giants wear throwbacks, because it's still the same base helmet. This is also why Denver's throwback had the navy blue helmet instead of the more traditional shade of blue, because they had to use their default helmet shell.
This COLTS Team was SO FUN to watch!!! You COULD NEVER count them OUT even if it was The 4TH Quarter, and They Were DOWN BY 3 TD's They HAD the TALENT TO COME back, and WIN.. AN a FEW TIMES they Did JUST THAT.....1 of MY Favorite TEAMS to Watch. With MANNING, HARRISON, STOKELY, EDGERRIN JAMES, DALLAS CLARK, and So, So MANY MORE To NAME!!!!!!!!
The 2004 Colts are one of the greatest offenses ever, as they led the league with over 520 points scored. That season was his breakout year as he showed that he would eventually be a HOF QB- 1st time passing for over 40 TDs, having a passer rating over 100, and the first time that his team has scored over 500 points in a single season!
There are only a few players, that you feel privileged to watch. These players are not generational players, they are even more rarer than that. Their performances are legendary, and their moments leave you breathless and send chills down your spine. Their greatness stands out and separates them even amongst fellow HOF'S. They are the reason we love this game so much, they are the GOAT'S. And Peyton Manning is on of them. Go Hawks
Giant manning fan here. Watching these old games just reminds me of how many rings peyton could have had if his defense ever played in sync with him back then. Man there are hof names all over that field! Thanks for the memories
I love Manning but yall love trying to rewrite history.. Manning played poorly in nearly every playoff loss. I will give him a pass for 2000 because if your defense gets gashed for 200 rushing yards 98% of the time, youre gonna lose.
@@aaronjackson9385 yeah he had some rough games thats for sure. I was just remembering that his defense didn't help much then. A lot of qbs had bad games but got bailed out by theit defense alot.
@@riggs2992 aside from.the Wild Card loss to Miami, when did his defense fail him in the playoffs?? He completed in the low 40's of his attempts vs Tennesse in 99, 0 pts in 02, 1 td va 4 ints in 03(all were pitiful throws and decisions, no tipped passes) 3 pts scored in 04, 18 pts.in 05(shouldve been less, got a bs call on an overturned int by Polamalu..06 the d carried him as he played bad vs KC and atrocious at Baltimore before leading a legendary comeback va NE. 07 was a tough loss but he threw a terrible int that shouldve been a td before the half another bogus reversal. 08 couldnt beat an average 8-8 SD team. 09 pick 6 lost the SB vs NO. 2010 couldnt produce.enough pts vs NYJ. 2012..threw a bad pick 6 and an int in OT..couldnt get it done despite 2 return tds. 2013..8 pts in SB loss..2014 pitiful outing vs his former team at home.
@@aaronjackson9385 well, i wasn't wanting to debate but sure. I meant they never seemed to be im sync in the playoffs. Im really not in the mood to argue with a stranger.
Its been a minute but I remember the chargers playoff game in indy when rivers got hurt. The defense let the backup qb take them to ot and then lose. Its been a long time but I remember just being disappointed alot....mostly with all the ints peyton threw in big playoff games! Also, the big td that the d gave up against flacco when he was in denver. Peyton walked off the field with the lead and they needed a stop to advance. Just stuff like that. I know every playoff team can say that. This video just reminded me of all the disappointing years and the coulda woulda thats all

@@theaveragesimmer4780 I kind of agree, but there is 1 game and 1 throw that really sour that season for me. The game vs the Broncos that year was easily the worst game I've ever seen Peyton play in a Colts uniform (started watching in '05). It was the first time I had the realization that Peyton was human lol. Also, the pick 6 to Tracy Porter is probably the worst throw of his career. I'm probably putting too much weight into those 2 things tbh

Not to mention coach. Polian also was too stubborn to change his approach when the whole “small fast players bend don’t break” thing was costing the Colts on the playoffs. How many times did teams run over the Colts D to control the clock? The best way to stop Manning was to keep him off the field.
@@Vichedges I stg growing up in Indy, it was almost every week there was an opposing RB having a huge day on the ground against them. The run D was abysmal for the longest time, and it didn't help that they had to play Arian Foster, MJD, and CJ2K 6 times a year
It's no surprise why Jason Hanson is Detroit's all-time points leader. That team just couldn't close it out in the redzone. Also, I feel like a lot of people sleep on The Edge these days that never got to watch him when he played. Dude was a tremendous back in Indy.
I remember this game. Mostly because this was the second to last fantasy football game of the regular season and I was behind by 79 fantasy points in a non-PPR league back in the day. My friend who had the 79-point lead for regular season points total and what would be my playoff spot, thought he would trash-mouth me saying I had no chance. That week I started Peyton Manning, Marvin Harrison, Brandon Stokely, TJ Houshmandzadeh, and W. McGahee and obliterated my friend with 190 fantasy pts. The reaction from the rest of the league participants was priceless. My friend unfortunately quit the league at the end of the year.
No he not, because achieving 5 MVP doesn't make him the G.O.A.T. he atleast the All time Great, don't give me wrong it just he need to win more then 2 Super Bowls like Win 6 then it will be a proof that he is one.
@jamesnelson5618 the great Michael Jordan said Rings don't equal greatness only greatness equals greatness individualize technically winning the MVP does solidify the highest individual Achievement Award Super Bowls equivalent team accomplishments and you low-key seem like a hater because every time somebody calls Peyton Manning the goat you comment saying that he's not😂
@@kalibakingJesustha1 that remains to be seen. I pointed that out because there are still some people out there who say Lamar is only a running back and/or someone who sucks at QB.
Can’t believe the lions always play on Thanksgiving in Detroit every year since 1934 🦁Jared Goff got to stay healthy for his first season with the Lions
This was the first game I went to and have been a Colts fan for 54 years, back when they were in Baltimore #19 Unitas. We had 3rd row endzone seats and my favorite player was Marvin Harrison. I've been to a few more games since, but this is the game I will always remember. So many great players in this game on both teams.
I think this was the first time that I didn't root for the Detroit Lions in a Thanksgiving game, since I have always been a huge Peyton Manning fan, back to his days at Tennessee. Most of the time that was the only day of the year that I was a Lions fan.
When I think about that thanksgiving game. It’s a shame that lions lose a lot. But as a lions fan, I did like Peyton Manning’s thanksgiving game in 2004
He could but it would take Belichick and the Patriots organization videotaping the other team's defensive practices or the balls being super deflated 😂😂😂😂
There’s a lot of Belichick slander since Tom won his 7th super bowl. Let the record show that during their dynasty, he was tasked w/ stopping this machine.
@@kevinstewart8054 BB only beat Peyton in 03 and 04..and they werent one and done. In 03 Manning beat Denver and KC prior to NE and Denver in 04.prior to NE. What does Belichick have to do with one and done losses to Tenn, Miami, NYJ, Pittsburgh, SD, SD, NYJ, Baltmore and Indy??
@@aaronjackson9385 yeah, “one and done” after having a first round bye almost every season. You guys just hate. The guy ‘s teams made the playoffs almost every year, they went to 4 SBs and won 2. Manning made teams weren’t that good look great. Colts without Manning went 2-14 in 2011 Pats without Brady during Brady’s era were 14-6. The Pats won 11 games with that stiff Cassel who hadn’t started a game since HS. I mean Brady is great but the Pats were just a dominant team, all the way around. Brady also knew when to get out of town, Pats in 2019 were trending down, “one and done”. So Brady goes to a stacked TB offense. If Winston hadn’t thrown 30 INTS the year before that Bucs offense would have been the best on the league. Arians is a great coach too.
@@kman215that's because his defenses were trash and the coaching also made bad calls let's not argue that he wouldn't get a lot of top defenses and his running game to never control the clock that's not on him
I think this game should've happened in 2005 because the NFL should've redid the interconference rotation like this: 2002,2006,2010,2014,2018,2022 AFC East vs NFC East (Patriots,Dolphins,Jets,Bills vs Eagles,Redskins,Giants,Cowboys) AFC North vs NFC West (Steelers,Ravens,Browns,Bengals vs Rams,49ers,Seahawks,Cardinals) AFC South vs NFC South (Titans,Colts,Jaguars,Texans vs Buccaneers,Saints,Falcons,Panthers) AFC West vs NFC North (Raiders,Broncos,Chiefs,Chargers vs Bears,Packers,Vikings,Lions) 2003,2007,2011,2015,2019,2023 AFC East vs NFC North (Jets,Patriots,Dolphins,Bills vs Packers,Vikings,Bears,Lions) AFC North vs NFC South (Steelers,Browns,Ravens,Bengals vs Buccaneers,Falcons,Saints,Panthers) AFC South vs NFC East (Titans,Colts,Jaguars,Texans vs Eagles,Giants,Redskins,Cowboys) AFC West vs NFC West (Raiders,Broncos,Chargers,Chiefs vs 49ers,Rams,Seahawks,Cardinals) 2004,2008,2012,2016,2020,2024 AFC East vs NFC South (Patriots,Dolphins,Bills,Jets vs Panthers,Saints,Buccaneers,Falcons) AFC North vs NFC North (Ravens,Bengals,Steelers,Browns vs Packers,Vikings,Bears,Lions) AFC South vs NFC West (Colts,Titans,Jaguars,Texans vs Rams,Seahawks,49ers,Cardinals) AFC West vs NFC East (Chiefs,Broncos,Raiders,Chargers vs Eagles,Cowboys,Redskins,Giants) 2005,2009,2013,2017,2021,2025 AFC East vs NFC West (Patriots,Jets,Bills,Dolphins vs Seahawks,Rams,Cardinals,49ers) AFC North vs NFC East (Steelers,Ravens,Bengals,Browns vs Eagles,Giants,Cowboys,Redskins) AFC South vs NFC North (Colts,Jaguars,Texans,Titans vs Packers,Vikings,Lions,Bears) AFC West vs NFC South (Chargers,Broncos,Chiefs,Raiders vs Falcons,Saints,Panthers,Buccaneers)
Not to hate on the colts or peyton manning but those colts teams from 2000 to 2010 are like the Atlanta braves of the 90s in major league baseball where they won a ring but more hard to get those tough playoff losses out of my head

@@reverend_wintondupree i was at the game in the club seats. I dont think any of the tv's in the club lounge showed it in HD. Weirdly 2 other colts uploads from this season use HD source.
@@Knightmessenger I had in fact watched it in HD at home. Starting in 2003, CBS was broadcasting 2 games (the Thanksgiving week - 3 games) in HD, the Nantz/Simms and Enberg/Dierdorf crews. The NFL highlight channels are very bad at showing highlights for games in HD up thru the 2010 season, for whatever reason. Quite head scratching considering the NFL owns the rights and pre-google UA-cam had many of these games HD broadcasts that had been uploaded by users.
@@reverend_wintondupree 2010 was when Fox started putting the score graphic at the edge of the 16x9 frame. Thus, it was no longer possible to get a 4x3 version, the SD feed would be letterboxed.

Peyton Manning my all time favorite greatest quarterback in NFL's History
I'm a Vikings fan and I shouldn't feel pity for the Lions, but it's hard not to.
Man that Colts team was crazy.
Peyton manning is still a goat
No he not, because achieving 5 MVP doesn't make him the G.O.A.T. he atleast the All time Great, don't give me wrong it just he need to win more then 2 Super Bowls like Win 6 then it will be a proof that he is one.
@jamesnelson5618 the great Michael Jordan said Rings don't equal greatness only greatness equals greatness individualize technically winning the MVP does solidify the highest individual Achievement Award Super Bowls equivalent team accomplishments and you low-key seem like a hater because every time somebody calls Peyton Manning the goat you comment saying that he's not😂
Lamar Jackson has thrown 5 TDs with less incompletions.
Twice.
Before the age of 24.
Not bad for a running back.
U trying to say he better then Peyton😂
@@kalibakingJesustha1 that remains to be seen.
I pointed that out because there are still some people out there who say Lamar is only a running back and/or someone who sucks at QB.
@@marcusdarden1535 ok
Nfl throwback has a favorite team the lions 🦁
The Real Goat At QB
Can’t believe the lions always play on Thanksgiving in Detroit every year since 1934 🦁Jared Goff got to stay healthy for his first season with the Lions
This is why the only acceptable response is laughter when anybody says Brady is the GOAT.
And the 1st half of this game shows why Peyton only had 1 ring in Indy; Defense cant tackle a no name running back on a crap team to save their life.
This was the first game I went to and have been a Colts fan for 54 years, back when they were in Baltimore #19 Unitas. We had 3rd row endzone seats and my favorite player was Marvin Harrison. I've been to a few more games since, but this is the game I will always remember. So many great players in this game on both teams.
Said a prayer for the Lions before this game because I knew it would be a massacre.
manning play action was textbook
This and the falcons back to back years was brutal on turkey day lmao
Surprisingly competitive game for longer than I remembered.
Too bad Kevin Jones never built on his rookie year. He had potential
The one time the Lions' Thanksgiving tradition was worth watching.
There’s still one player from this game who still plays for the Lions
Which one? Is been 17 years!
@@adriansmith5279 Don Muhlbach, The long snapper
@@1999bill1999 God Bless the man, take a lot of heart to play for the Lions!
That's actually super crazy
I went to the Lions Vikings game in 04 where he botched the snap. Never thought he would be playing 17 years later
Detroit's midfield logo on this day was awesome
I think this was the first time that I didn't root for the Detroit Lions in a Thanksgiving game, since I have always been a huge Peyton Manning fan, back to his days at Tennessee. Most of the time that was the only day of the year that I was a Lions fan.
Personally, I think was the greatest game Peyton Manning ever played.
I would probably say the game where he threw 7 touchdowns against Baltimore
Indianapolis Colts member AFC East Division and Detroit Lions member NFC Central Division the 70s 80s and early 90s 🏈
That’s pretty random.
When I think about that thanksgiving game. It’s a shame that lions lose a lot. But as a lions fan, I did like Peyton Manning’s thanksgiving game in 2004
Brady could never
He could but it would take Belichick and the Patriots organization videotaping the other team's defensive practices or the balls being super deflated 😂😂😂😂
OMAHA!
I attended this game and was so pissed with all those Joey Harrington 3 yard passes.
2004 was also a pretty good year for NFL thanks to Peyton Manning’s outstanding performance on Thanksgiving in Detroit.
Mahomes did this exact same thing in only his 3rd ever start against Pittsburgh
i was at this game as a Lions fan. at least the tickets were free.
This dude is awesome 👌 👏
In all seriousness, thanks you Detroit lions for allowing history to be made time after time.
Sounds like a Peyton Manning thing to do!!
Except for winning Super Bowls...
@@returnofthebrotha that comment made no sense my guy
@@Therealdrdoof Neither does your spelling!
@@Therealdrdoof I watch you on TV every time
@@returnofthebrotha it’s a good thing he had a good defense for the two Super Bowls he won. Otherwise he would’ve been 0-4.
Next vid can it be hall of fame games like bills vs Titans
There’s a lot of Belichick slander since Tom won his 7th super bowl. Let the record show that during their dynasty, he was tasked w/ stopping this machine.
Peyton wasn't anything special in the postseason. Has like 7 one and outs
@@kman215 because of who’s defense?
@@kevinstewart8054 BB only beat Peyton in 03 and 04..and they werent one and done. In 03 Manning beat Denver and KC prior to NE and Denver in 04.prior to NE. What does Belichick have to do with one and done losses to Tenn, Miami, NYJ, Pittsburgh, SD, SD, NYJ, Baltmore and Indy??
@@aaronjackson9385 yeah, “one and done” after having a first round bye almost every season.
You guys just hate.
The guy ‘s teams made the playoffs almost every year, they went to 4 SBs and won 2.
Manning made teams weren’t that good look great.
Colts without Manning went 2-14 in 2011
Pats without Brady during Brady’s era were 14-6.
The Pats won 11 games with that stiff Cassel who hadn’t started a game since HS.
I mean Brady is great but the Pats were just a dominant team, all the way around.
Brady also knew when to get out of town, Pats in 2019 were trending down, “one and done”.
So Brady goes to a stacked TB offense. If Winston hadn’t thrown 30 INTS the year before that Bucs offense would have been the best on the league. Arians is a great coach too.
@@kman215that's because his defenses were trash and the coaching also made bad calls let's not argue that he wouldn't get a lot of top defenses and his running game to never control the clock that's not on him
The Lions under Matt Millen were terrible and a dysfunctional franchise
The Lions have been dysfunctional since about 1957. But employing Millen, Mooch and Harrington was just rubbing salt in the wounds
And drafting WRs in the first round every year
People forget drew Henson was the preference by the texans in that same draft with the got Derek carr
They still are
From week 8 of 2004 to week 12 of 2004, Peyton Manning averaged a TD once every 6.5 pass attempts.
Peyton was untouchable at this time
im thankful that mike vanderjagt is out of the nfl. I hate that guy. he didnt even try to get the ball back from the block.
I think this game should've happened in 2005 because the NFL should've redid the interconference rotation like this:
2002,2006,2010,2014,2018,2022
AFC East vs NFC East (Patriots,Dolphins,Jets,Bills vs Eagles,Redskins,Giants,Cowboys)
AFC North vs NFC West (Steelers,Ravens,Browns,Bengals vs Rams,49ers,Seahawks,Cardinals)
AFC South vs NFC South (Titans,Colts,Jaguars,Texans vs Buccaneers,Saints,Falcons,Panthers)
AFC West vs NFC North (Raiders,Broncos,Chiefs,Chargers vs Bears,Packers,Vikings,Lions)
2003,2007,2011,2015,2019,2023
AFC East vs NFC North (Jets,Patriots,Dolphins,Bills vs Packers,Vikings,Bears,Lions)

Post Hard Knocks
Hard Knocks or Soft Knocks? Pfft
I always watch offensive highlights of these colts teams and wonder why they didn't win Superbowls. Then I watch the defense and I remember.
Marvin Harrison had the nastiest routes
As a colts fan I miss Peyton yelling at the defensive what kinda play it was 😂😂
Lions always involved in something historic..but on the wrong end😂😂
I felt bad for Reggie
Colts VS Lions 2025 I call it 👇💯
Is this the QB who now has a serious case of CTE because he now thinks he's a Bronco?
That’s just dumb. It doesn’t even make sense.
The Lions fumbled it 5 times lmao
It's almost football season yall!
Peyton The Goat Manning
Peyton Manning is not a G.O.A.T he just the all time great.
17 Years Ago
Not to hate on the colts or peyton manning but those colts teams from 2000 to 2010 are like the Atlanta braves of the 90s in major league baseball where they won a ring but more hard to get those tough playoff losses out of my head
The Detroit Butterfingers.
When Joey Harrington is a better qb than Jared Goff
500k!!!!!
Yessir!!!
Idc who's playing on Thanksgiving day. To me that's football day!!! Me and my family changed it up we don't do the traditional Thanksgiving anymore because wat we found out wat they did to the Indians. We bbq and get ready for the game that day
Are you talking about massacre of the native American or The other reason else who did to them something mean?
Where's the HD feed?
Was this game in HD?
@@Knightmessenger It was
@@reverend_wintondupree i was at the game in the club seats. I dont think any of the tv's in the club lounge showed it in HD. Weirdly 2 other colts uploads from this season use HD source.
@@Knightmessenger I had in fact watched it in HD at home. Starting in 2003, CBS was broadcasting 2 games (the Thanksgiving week - 3 games) in HD, the Nantz/Simms and Enberg/Dierdorf crews. The NFL highlight channels are very bad at showing highlights for games in HD up thru the 2010 season, for whatever reason. Quite head scratching considering the NFL owns the rights and pre-google UA-cam had many of these games HD broadcasts that had been uploaded by users.
@@reverend_wintondupree 2010 was when Fox started putting the score graphic at the edge of the 16x9 frame. Thus, it was no longer possible to get a 4x3 version, the SD feed would be letterboxed.
After watching this makes me wonder what could of been with Harrington. He had the skill just terrible coaching.
Lions gonna lion
Let’s go
Nothing more fitting to celebrate Barry Sanders getting inducted into the hall than getting slaughtered at home on thanksgiving
Poor Lions. They have such bad luck on Thanksgiving
O the lions on Thanksgiving🙄😬
anther thing he and Nick Foles have in common
