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! (Romans 10:9-13)
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.
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.
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.
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

@@leidyale19 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
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)
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
@@quinncain stop over exaggerating lol beating brady and belichick in a super was definitely no gimmie and considering the fact the saints defenses was always horrific they prolly would’ve lost in all honesty
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
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.
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.
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.
Rodgers and Brees were incredible this year, but don't forget about Darren Sproles! Set the single-season all-purpose yards record in 2011. This game reminds us how good he was. Also, funny seeing Randall Cobb's first game since he's now the "old man" among the Packers receivers.
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 😂
Drew Brees oh how I miss you. It's hard to see from the coverage but he threw one of the pretties throws iv ever seen. 15:08 Colston man to man v Charles Woodson. Drew threw it well before Colston was looking and it was as on the money as you can throw a ball. Unreal.
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
Nice touchdown catch by Greg Jennings who became the first receiver of the Packers and first receiver overall to score a touchdown in the 2011 season. 👍
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.
These two teams were the previous two Super Bowl winners and the 2011 Saints offense was the most prolific offense in NFL history. The 49ers had one of the most improbable come back wins against Saints in playoff history and were so emotionally drained the supremely inferior Giants mopped the floor with them in the championship game. The saints should have won the SB that year 😢
