The 2011 season also known as the “Year of the Quarterback” .... Love this channel
Everyone rolled out of bed and threw for 5 thousand yards even matt Flynn lit it up former lsu national title game winner
The Land 216 imagine what Peyton Manning would’ve done if he had played
Eric Sigersmith So many Qb’s put up MVP type #’s that year ... Till this day I still feel like A-Rod and Brees should’ve been Co-MVP’s
Colin Barlow Peyton would’ve been phenomenal but the year he had in 2012 was just as great
Ahhh Roman Harper could never cover a TE smh
Jennings, jordy, jones, cobb, driver and jermichael... what a group of pass catchers.
Ryan Grant, James starks, and Brandon Jackson out the backfield was a nice compliment as well
@@Jlmwb Brandon Jackson wasn't bad played for Nebraska
finley was hot garbage, the rest were great.
AJ HAWK! AJ HAWK! Refs did him dirty AF, but we all know that shovel-chinned beast did nothing wrong.
In 2011, Rodgers, Brees, Brady, Stafford, and E. Manning averaged 5,065 yards, 40 touchdowns, and 12.6 interceptions.
Love Stafford. Hope he does well in LA
@@ahmedrahim2500 A Packers fan agrees. Stafford was/is too good to rot in Detroit
@@markanthony1004 But Aaron Rodgers Is Better Than Stafford As Your Team Is Number One.
@@tyreepowell8367 True but it sucks seeing good players end up on bad teams over and over again and rarely making the playoffs. Anybody can see Stafford deserved better.
@@markanthony1004 facts you knew he’d throw for a lot of yards keep the team close then in the 4th Lions did Lions things but it was always respect
One of the best openers ever
That defense either gave up most yards or points in history and rodgers was 15 and 1 that's insane
Straight up
The best

That AJ Hawk batted ball while flying in the air is so nutty. Absolute unit
Not PI

well your book is wrong@@joshuawhelan9358
@@joshuawhelan9358defender has the right to attack the ball too
@@joshuawhelan9358 You're full of shit. He was flying through the air and knocked it down.
This was an incredible game to watch. I was 9. One of the best games that I've ever seen growing up
Unfortunately nobody knew at the time but this was one of the last full games the great nick collins played for the packers after suffering sad neck injury that ended his career , losing him and Woodson hurt those packers defenses and only the 2013 one was title caliber with rodgers besides 2009 and 10 when capers had the physco defense
Statistically, the following year 2012 was better than 2011. 2014 was different and good as well. Definitely Capers last good defense
Whoever is reading this, I wanted to say I hope you have a great day and that God loves you so much that he sent his son, Jesus, to die on a cross for your sins and he rose again from the dead three days later. God Bless!
And also, He doesn't want you to go to Hell but he wants you to go to Heaven with him but you have to be Saved. How do I get Saved you might ask? Here are the steps below on how to get Saved!
1. Confess to Jesus that you are a sinner and ask forgiveness for your sins and Turn away from your
sins. If you sin again after asking forgiveness of that sin, ask forgiveness again and try not to do it ever again. Jesus will forgive you!
2. Believe that God sent His Son (Jesus) to die on a cross for your sins and that he rose again from the dead 3 days later.
3. Ask Jesus to come into your heart and your life and for him to be your Lord and Savior forever.
4. Build a Personal Relationship with Jesus by Praying and Reading the Bible daily and Live for Him Forever.
I'm Praying for you and you are loved!

@@tyreepowell8367 yeah, I know lol.
The amount of insanely accurate passes that were taken for granted between these two QB’s in this game
And the not so accurate. Rodgers overthrows Jordy on the bomb that woulda been a touchdown. Glad my Packers got the dub
@@booser2011 you’re a stooge
@@booser2011timestamp please!
This was the first game after the Pack SB win
Saints vs 49ers divisional round that year was a game to watch
I remember after the game I had so much confidence we were going to fix up the defense and make our way to the super bowl soon. I couldn’t have been farther from the truth😂
@@hey_dog09 Ay bro this is our year
@@HH-in2jf come back to reality
@@hey_dog09 it’s a damn shame we didn’t win a title that year
@@hey_dog09 The Catch III
Saints should've went to the Superbowl that year... that Saints offense was A machine in 2011 unstoppable still salty about Divisional game vs 49ers
Had they home field advantage they would've. They couldn't be beaten in the Superdome and I'm not even a Saints fan.
They cheated us man we was undefeated at home and we would've whooped Brady and the Patriots ass in the SuperBowl the Saints would've been a dynasty if they had a defense
Classic game both of these teams only won one ring each which is crazy to think about now, both teams are missing some super bowl rings
Lol you mean between those years the Saints won the Super Bowl once
Packers have Won 4 times
@@electricshotzz2467 what the heck are you talking about I'm talking about the Arron Rodgers and Drew Brees lead teams these two teams have had some loaded squads over the pass 10 years but never won another Superbowl
Alton Rodgers ohh shit my bad lol
Ecspecially 2014 packers
well done
Thank you for posting more often, I love the videos, especially when you post a game that is coming up the week of the game, even if the guys I want to win lose, I can always go back to the videos to cheer me up
Appreciate the support!
@@NFLVault I Love All Of Your Videos!
@@tyreepowell8367 amen this was just before the nfl over did targeting and everything
Drew brees, darren sproles, pierre thomas, mark ingram, jimmy graham, Marques Colston, deverery henderson... unreal
Could you imagine Joe Brady running that offense? Insane
These packers from 2011 kinda remind me of this year’s chiefs. All the momentum, the defending champs, best young quarterback in the game, suspect defense. I can easily see this year’s chiefs going 15-1 like the packers that year
Very true but Chiefs have a proven head coach and McCarthy at that time was not.
@@senli8911 Mccarthy had just won the super bowl the year before
They went one and done in the playoffs.
@@israelp348 Like Baltimore last year
Remind me of 2008 giants for having a better season but falling short
Thanks for the video @nflthrowback I never seen this one before it was very inspirational Rodgers for mvp wooooo!
Sunday night its 36yr old vs 41yr old... Two legend QBs.
Even though my Saints lost this opener, this was still one of the best openers I have seen. Two of the best Quarterbacks squaring off in a shootout.
Amen
Man that last play 😂😂😂 shit was epic
Damn Cobb was a rookie.. and Donald driver was one of the most underrated wr
driver was good regardless of the qb and has hell of a story!
Lets go I love watching NFL throwback post our games even if we lose tbh
Your 2011 team was stacked. Forget your 2017 team, THIS team blew an even bigger chance at winning a Super Bowl.
Phinal Flash For real if they’re able stop the 49ers. And Drew Brees should’ve been league MVP
@@kendariusbacon3580 idk about brees being mvp. Rodgers had a better season statistically and a better record.
Oscar Aguilar Drew Brees lead the league in pass completions, passing yards (NFL Record), passing touchdowns, completion percentage, and passing yards per game. And was 2nd in passer rating. Aaron Rodgers led the league in passer rating (NFL Record), 10th in pass completions, 5th in passing yards, 2nd in passing touchdowns, 2nd in completion percentage, and 4th in passing yards per game
@@kendariusbacon3580 yup that’s all true, but Brees threw more than double as much interceptions than Rodgers (14 to 6). Rodgers also had 9.2 yards per attempt, compared to Brees’ 8.3 y/a. Brees also threw 657 attempts, compared to Rodgers 502 attempts, meaning Rodgers 45 TDs is more impressive than Brees’ 46, since Brees had more attempts at throwing the ball. That also explains why Brees had more yards than Rodgers, despite Rodgers having a better yards per attempt ratio. Rodgers also played a game less than Brees, so Rodgers stats could have been even better in TDs and yards. Btw I hate Rodgers cuz he always beats my seahawks 😂, but you have to recognize his talent regardless.
I’ll take Prime Aaron Rodgers over any QB in NFL history and I’ll die on that hill
Rodgers is the second best quarterback in NFL history behind Dan Marino
1. Marino
2. Rodgers
3. Brady
4. Manning
5. Elway
@@Fgonzo665 Marino??? Lmao
@@Fgonzo665 Brady>Rodgers lmaooo
@@Fgonzo665 Brees is definitely better than Elway why isn't he on this list?
Drew Brees 2011 season will go down as one of the best QB season to ever happen. Shame he didn't win MVP
Rodgers carryiest a worst pass defense in that year with a 15-1
Jordy. James Jones. Jennings. Driver. Cobb. Finley. All went a prime Rodgers throwing to them. Its a shame we blew it in the divisional, this should have been a dynasty. I'd take that offense over the Chiefs right now
Rodgers is more of a September / October QB than December / January.
Remember this game. Good times (coming from a cowboys fan)
A opening game that lived up to the hype lol they usually are a bummer..
Rodgers to Nelson was my favorite thing ever.
Remember bill Schroeder
Broken play ? Oh yea Nelson down field you knew something glorious was about to happen !
@@Jlmwb what about davante
As great as the offense was for the Packers, their defense was garbage like always. Thats what kept them from repeating
They had a lot of talent on the defense, which makes me think that their Defensive scheme/coaching was reckless and not very disciplined and other coaches outsmarted them
Rodgers choked
@@kxrtoonz429 the refs choked in the NFCCG against the Bucs by not calling holding on the defense
@@kxrtoonz429 Dumb
God damn i forgot how stacked packers were at WR back then. They would just run 5 WR sets all day
😩😩 I miss Jermichael Finely the closest TE we had that was up to his par was Jared Cook. Thanks Cleveland you sure know how to ruin everyone's day
Bubba Frank's is the only Green Bay Tight End worth remembering
@@benmaloy9757 Mark Chmura ring a Bell? He was a beast.
Anyone back here after the Pat McAfee show talked about AJ hawks play? 😂
I am
Sunday Night is gonna be a slug fest b/w 2 great quarterbacks
2 Future Hall of Fame QBs going at it!!
War eagle
First ballot
This was a duel between the league MVP A-Rod (4,643 yards, 45 TDs in 15 games, 14-1 record) vs the leader in passing yards (5,476) and TDs (46) Drew Brees. (13-3 record)
15-1 actually.
@@billybaggins1443 His record was 14-1, actually,
@@chuckyjamesamartin1968 oh, I remember now. Because he didn't play his last game of the season.
@@billybaggins1443 Matt Flynn did. In fact, Flynn replaced him during 5 games and the started a 6th, and even Flynn flourished with that offense
nolinagirlasia.link
Another game that ends on the one yard line!!!!!
That PI call on AJ Hawk was total bullshit. That dude did an amazing superman dive over that receiver to block the TD pass. The refs just wanted to give Brees one more shot at it.
Man, this season had so many great qbs playing. It's a shame that the Saints and/or Packers got knocked off. I would've loved to see Brady vs. Brees or Brady vs. Rodgers.
Before Patrick Mahomes entered The NFL Aaron Rodgers was the best quarterbacks passing the Football 🏈 ARod was a Beast in his Prime.
Ahh the good ol brees where he could actually throw a 30yd pass through the air. All good my boy gonna bounce back like he always does
He just looked sloppy last week. I'm sure he's fine. If not, you have a 4-year special teams wonder and the NFL's passing yards leader on your bench.
@@chuckyjamesamartin1968 1 bad game doesn't mean he's washed
@@yourhonorimarat454 When did I say he's washed? Where didn't I say I'm sure hes fine?
@@chuckyjamesamartin1968 i know im just am so piss about brees having 1 bad game and everyone goes crazy
Sadly it looks like Brees' arm is toast. The last two years the battery has run out by December. And last year, he had a 5 week rest period, and it still ran out by season's end. This year, it's already looking crispy at the start of the season. He's just getting old.
The momentum was up and down but with the saints 4th and inches stop definitely made a difference
You guys should do afc championship 2006
They did
Its shameful that they never met in playoffs
Interesting Fact: The Saints had a bounty on Aaron Rodgers during the game
War eagle
Damm. Prime Rodgers was such a wonderful thing to watch. Most talented QB I've ever seen and one of the few reasons to keep watching some of the most infuriatingly frustrating offenses in the league.
Drew Brees vs Aaron Rodgers is always a classic!
Packers choked this season away to the 9 - 7 eventual champion New York Giants 😂
Still hurts but not as much as the Seahawks loss in 14
@Hector Rodriguez Aaron should have played better in those 2 playoff games
@@MichaelMurphy-kj3xf bostick should've done his fucking job and blocked for jordy
No actually giants was 11-5 this year with the rise of Victor Cruz
Man do I feel bad for Brees, he should have had at least 2 more rings but that historically terrible defense let him down so many times. Crazy to see how they can even make basic form tackles in this game time after time after time 👀 Don’t even get me started on that secondary coverage 😂
I love The channel. I miss the fans being there to. The atmosphere was just so much better.
Sproles was such a great addition to the Saints offense, I forgot how much he beasted this game, lol!
This game had so much hype heading into it, coming out of the lockout, last two super bowl champs, Rodgers v Brees. It lived up to every bit of it, too bad we didn't get a rematch in the playoffs that year.
9 Years Ago
The year my Auburn tigers and green bay packers were both defending champions
18:19 I’m sorry but how the hell is that pass interference?!
Agreed that was just an incredibly athletic play by hawk
CALVIN BANKS exactly
Omar ikr
Sean Payton is arguably one of the greatest offensive coordinators ever he knew how to create mismatches with big receivers before everybody
Packers receiving core was so stacked during this time. Driver, Jennings, Jones, Nelson, Cobb. And Finley
Crazy to think that these two teams had won back-to-back titles and the future was bright with Brees and Rodgers and yet neither team never won again or even appeared in Superbowl. Even crazier is that these two teams never even met in the playoffs.
Cant name a player throught the brees era offence who had success anywhere else.. drew brees could have made me a pro bowler
For the record, that was not pass interference on AJ Hawk
I wish quarterbacks still played like this.
That hit at 5:10 tho
Must have been a very good game, that pass interference with no time in the 4th quarter was kinda bullshit and the refs tried to hand the saints a perfect opportunity to tie it up and possibly win in overtime. Horrible refs at their finest even from 11 years ago
Two GOATs in 1 game, how better can it get?
I miss nick Collins a great player and this unfortunately was his 2nd to last game...
My two teams
One of most underrated games of all time
Nice coverage by Shields at 7:22. But the very next play they target him again! I miss this Saints offense
Ah.... yes when both were great but never made it to the super bowl that year
So many weapons on either team, this should’ve been the NFC championship if they had a defense
@18:05 one of the worst botched calls in history. That play by AJ Hawk was insane
Packers offance this year is even better than 2011
Hope so I'm packers fan since gilbert brown and egune robinson years lol
Pump the brakes a little bit. Early returns look good though
Say what you want about Aaron Rogers the greatest Thrower of the football ever averages like 6 interceptions a year to 40 touchdowns
This was the game Donald Driver knew. It was time for him to hang it up.
Omg was really the song they came out to?
That was the start of a all time great year by Quarterbacks in 2011. Rodgers and Brees at their best.
1:06 Is that Homer Simpson?
I heard it too 😂😂😂😂😂
The inexpensive force behaviorally transport because authorisation morphometrically squash atop a wasteful syrup. tense, silly permission
The unruly liquor archaeologically sneeze because wolf densply tap atop a outrageous delete. makeshift, lively semicolon
Loovvedd the goal line stand at the end
Those olinemen at the end 😷 four of em just laying down like bruh pick up s block 😂 mark ingram has no chance
Broken arm tackles and busted coverages by the Packers defense and special teams would go on to haunt the rest of my childhood.
The Packers wasted Aaron Rodgers greatness by not building a defense around him otherwise they would be a dynasty
same could be said for Drew
18:21 if you’re from pat McAfee AJ HAWK
Can't belive the ref did that to AJ hawk at 18:00
Remember all of thm didn't cheat like Tom did don't put him in same class as these guys
we here in Columbia SC r best of Best Steelers fans don't believe in cheating like Tom & his coach
Refs almost ruined it for the Packers
Sproles should’ve got the ball instead
Of Ingram
Capers should have been fired after the Giants loss in the playoffs
Jermichael Finley was so good.
He Was The Best Tight Ends In The League

I use to watch throwback games from the 80s and 90s when I was a kid, now I’m watching them from the year I graduated school 🥴🥹🤣
Man... what a game but also as a falcons fan I loved that ending 😂
That was the greatest football game in NFL history between two quarterbacks with greatness.
This was a battle between 2 of the best offenses in NFL history.
Packers: FC Barcelona!
Saints: PSG!
I don't agree with that pass interference at the end. AJ had already hit the ball away and his body was just falling down. But they still stopped them
9:53 my favrite moment
The refs did everything they could to get the saints this one, good lord. Also, what's with that super weak call at the goal-line stop? Just some chuckling and "He can't make it"?????? This ending was so hype
Best kickoff ever
they really had the players sprint out the locker room to that fruit ass music
That was just sad how the 15-1 Packers went out. They could of been in super bowl 46. In back to back seasons
It’s nice seeing Brees throw downfield lol
