Imagine talking about Tom Brady being 35 and still competing at a high level in 2012. Plays another decade.
And wins 4 more super bowls lol
It’s insane when you actually think about it 😂
he won more Superbowls past his prime then most do in their prime
TB12 was literally insane.
you know the season is back when we get these throwback games 🔥🔥
People forget how good these Pats offenses were sometimes. Brady always went for the throat. I'm gonna miss my guy.
Brady the GOAT
It helps when the refs pockets are fat. Brady is great Belichick/Pats are cheats
Because of Hernandez
@@rex5644 so true. They just erase this from memory
The Patriots offense under Brady was always good because it was a situational execution offense. The volume wouldn’t always show that which only showcases the irrelevance of volume
This game sent Houston into a late season swoon.
that went into 2013
@@Thunder103093**that went into 2022
no they had winning season from 2014-2019 minus 2017, this game has nothing to do with 2020 & onwards@@LilShriga
I remember being a kid telling my friends in school that the Texans were going to get destroyed in this game. What i didn't expect was them completely collapsing to end the season.
We all knew the Patriots were gonna beat the team with the better record or better offense remember doin the same in my school
Man I miss this type of football. Technique, fundamentals, and the true way to play football. Nice job of mixing the run and pass.
Exactly, all these dumb kids think that Mahomes and the Chiefs got a better offense just simply because Mahomes throws it deep every time and it magically gets caught, well in today’s weak ass era he and the Chiefs can get away with that because one, the defensive talent pool straight up sucks now, there aren’t great defensive backs in today’s era especially compared to the ones 10 years ago, two, you can’t touch receivers nowadays, three, even tho it’s football and its a contact sport you can’t truck or even hit stick someone anymore or you’ll get ejected, 10 years ago those type of plays were still allowed, it all ended towards the late late 2010’s like 2018 or 2019 and and now it’s just gone overboard with last year’s Super Bowl being the cherry on top of the league not allowing defenses to simply play all out defense, defensive players can’t play with heart anymore because the league won’t let them. Last year’s Super Bowl was a prime example, I mean cmon you call that a Super Bowl, ha that’s what I call an offense only Bowl. Also Eagles should’ve won but again the league wants the best offense to win so robbed the Eagles but whatever. I feel like Super Bowl 53 is the last game of this now soft era of football where we will see 1990’s and early 2000’s defense being put on full display, there were big hits that the refs allowed which is cool because that’s what we want as viewers plus big hits tends to hype up a team and lift their spirits even more and great defensive stops in that Super Bowl too, but ofc the Brady haters have everyone saying that Super Bowl 53 was boring, tjose are the people that don’t appreciate the fundamentals, the heart nd passion, and the defensive performance of the game of football.
@@Grievous_All that long ass paragraph of nothing and Mahomes has been one of the best pocket passers in the league since 2018. What an inbred, mouthbreathing comment this was 😂
@@Grievous_That superbowl (eagles vs Chiefs) was a fantastic one.
@@Grievous_The typical viewers of the Super Bowl doesn’t give a damn about “technical performances” that’s the reason everyone was saying it was bad, and it was. A low scoring game, didn’t get a td until the 2nd half, and a slow pace game. Congrats on brady for winning but it’s still not Super Bowl worthy. If anything we got robbed of a brees brady sb game that year.
That's how great the Patriots truly were. Houston was 11-1 and no slouch, and NE made them look ordinary.
Fucked with their heads so badly they collapsed the following season too.
Yet the Ravens still beat them handily in the AFC Championship that year.
@@bestoutwest9962No Gronk he was injured as usual come playoff time Brady dragging NPC players
"The rookie Dont'a Hightower".... damn time flies😢
1:07 Killer catch by a killer player 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Murderous bro
It was kinda gay 🤷🏻♂️
A- Ron was framed dawg!! He got Epsteined yo! Reel talk son.
Killer katch by a Killer player who killed himself legend
Beat me to the comment lmao 😂
Looking back at it when I was a big hater of NE, now, I simply respect them. People talk a lot about that 2007 Patriots offense, but this offense in 2012 was just about up there as well. From like 2010-2012, it was mind blowing with how efficient they were offensively even though they didn't win the super bowl during those years.
Their defense was trash those years, thanks to Matt Patricia
2012 is probably Brady's most under-appreciated season. He was about the most efficient quarterback that year with great volume stats as well, yet he didn't even get a 2nd team All-Pro because his team lead the lead in rushing touchdowns since Brady didn't pad at the goalline. People kind of undersell Brady's greatness when they tie his legacy to his longevity (which is incredible and deserves to be praised) since it ignores just how good his prime was back during 2007-2012.
Those weren't even Brady's best years; he struggled with the deep ball after his knee injury up until 2014.
2012 offense was good, but nowhere close to the 2007 offense stop it🤦🏽♂️
@@mariosnum1fan The difference is two points per game, so it's actually pretty close. But the thing is the 07 offense had the least amount of offensive drives in the NFL that year, so they ware more efficient in points per drive. Also in 07 Brady missed out on a lot of playing time because they would just blow teams out, their average margin of victory was 20 points. So on average they would win by 3 touchdowns, so a lot of 4th quarters missed by Brady. But still this 2012 is the 5th best offense of all time in terms of points per game and its extremely underrated
2 future Class of 2028 Pro Football Hall of Fame players, JJ Watt & Tom Brady!
When I hear Aaron Hernandez... I get goosebumps
He was so fucking good at football. Was a 4 position player on offense
@@wo1463 special talent. those type of players don't come around often
He threw away a HOF career. He would've had a pro bowl season in 2013 had he not gone on a killing spree. Welker was gone and Gronk was out for a good chunk of that yr. I was targeting him early on in mock drafts until he was arrested.
Hernandez was a stronger matchup than Gronk but Brady tended to favor Gronk because Hernandez wouldn’t always run the routes exactly how Brady wanted him to.
2012 was an insane year Arian Foster had 15 Tds, JJ watt had over 20 sacks. Brady was 35 and still had 4 more rings to win. Aaron Hernandez was murderer and nobody knew. Adrian Peterson ran for 2000 yards. RG3 & Andrew luck insane rookie seasons. Colin Kaepernicks last ever playoff appearance & the last season for one of the greatest linebackers of all time in Ray Lewis.
Damn and 2012 the movie came out I though the world was gone end good times 😂😂😂
So nostalgic!!!
RG3’s last good season too.
Kaepernick and the 49ers made the playoffs in 2013 you ding bat
This is one of the best Pats teams that didn't make it to the super bowl. It was a potent offense but that defense though top 10 in scoring d gave up a lot of yards.
The defenses they had from 09 to 13 were horrifically bad. Brady probably could’ve won another Super Bowl if they drafted better in the secondary in those years
@@johnny__topsideExactly. I blame Bill for that
Back when the Texans were good and J.J. Watt was a menace at DE. They simply ran into a team that is smarter than them from a technique standpoint
B.B always had a plan for J.J. Watt, and it worked because he was mostly invisible against the Patriots.
Got out coached badly
The Texans were never good.
@@Tron_Funkin_Blow Na they had that one good year Before Schaub went interception happy and threw all those pic 6s . Remember he was throwing for 4,000 yard seasons and Arian Foster was the best running back in the league while the defense was top 5 in the NFL
@@rickyeager5762 1 season...
This was so awesome. Reminds me when the 1992 Atlanta Falcons came into Candlestick Park with their "Champions of California" trophy since they had swept the 49ers in 1991 in addition to beating the Rams, Raiders, and Chargers on the road. It was such a random thing to do a victory lap about. But the 49ers destroyed the Falcons twice in 1992 56-17 at home, and 41-3 on the road.
Atlanta though did beat SF the next year
Oh and you forgot them beating the 1991 Raiders
@@chrisuncleahmad Yeah, but by 1993 they also weren't trotting that stupid trophy out. And they didn't beat the 49ers at Candlestick in 93 either. I did forget they beat the LA Raiders in 1991 also.
This era of Pats football was elite. The offense was so methodical. It was death by 1million paper cuts. Haven't seen an offense like it since.
These deep throws from Brady are crisp
Omg Brady was on 🔥 that day 😳
The good ole days. They were such a well oiled machine. Even when they fumbled they scored touchdowns.
Texans were rolling that year, but this game completely killed their momentum. This was sort of a staple of the Pats dynasty. A team would get pretty hot and come into Foxboro and just get embarrassed. Didn’t help that the Texans had to play them again in the divisional round, and were met with similar results.
The following week though SF came in hot and the Pats gave up 40+
I remember the talks on social media of the world ending around this time lol hilarious times
yeah 2012
RIP Ryan Mallett
Man Dante Stallworth came back like he never left.. Then he left for good shortly thereafter!
11:15 RIP Mallett, gone too soon 😥
Texans were never the same after this game.
I remember my Dad saying "Matt Schaub is a genius" minutes before the start of this game. It was still to this day the greatest troll ive ever heard
I’m surprised they kept Hernandez’s TR celebration in the video 🤣🤣
Why wouldnt they? The TD celebration isnt offensive or anything
RIP💯
@@westillrock5ringz576 piss? Pieces?
Brady has got to be the greatest quarterback to have ever mastered the basic skills of a quarterback. The only skill he doesn't have is his taking off with his legs. THE GOAT!
This game was the difference between us being the 2nd seed or the 3rd seed. Special season but man them patriots were tuff
I would argue that this game cost Houston the top seed in the AFC. If the Texans had won this game, they would have been tied with Denver at 13-3 but with the head-to-head tiebreaker since they beat the Broncos in Denver earlier in the year.
@@craigskiff6500 You're right. I forgot to add that. We were the last team to beat them as well before the playoffs. What was even crazier is that even if we lost this game, if we won the last game of the season we would've won 13 games and the 1st seed. basically we didn't capitalize the end of the season.
They got beat up like a high school team too
The Texans used to be a powerhouse ! I was at the Jets/ Texans game where the Texans came back down from like 20 to take the lead and then the Jets came back and won with a Santonio Holmes TD.
Do yourself a favor and watch New England's O-Line when they run play action. It's perfect.
Crazy that this was Stallworth’s last game and his last catch was a 63 yard touchdown. Shame he screwed up his ankle on that play
He had a good run in New Orleans
HA! I remember sitting here thinking belichick said they practice for JJ using tennis rackets. You know somewhere he preached LT to Tommy and the offensive line.
I left work early (I was stationed at Pearl Harbor ), so I could be home for kickoff. (Hawaii shows the game at 230 live then the normal 730 time)
I called everyone back home afterwards and said…WHAT A CLINIC
They have never been the same since this game (The Texans)
The Texans
Houston got destroyed by the packers week 5 that year, 40 + points and a W on the road
underrated dynasty Patriots game, the hype for Houston coming in was ridiculous
Aaron Hernandez life is such tragedy especially having his two best seasons with The New England Patriots 2011-2012 even though the Patriots still have Rob Gronkowski to me there’s always going to be “What If”
Trico and gruden on MNF was a great combo
And it was a preview of their playoff matchup a few weeks later. Luckily, it wasn't a repeat of what happened with the Jets down the stretch of 2010.
Patriots: Real Madrid!
Texans: Manchester City!
Bruh what’s crazy is im a Pats fan and also a Madrid fan lol. Who’s your favorite player currently, mines Vinicius jr, hoping we get Mbappe because he’s my favorite player as well
@@Grievous_ so far right now. No words on Mbappe and that’s making me nervous cause we need a striker really badly! No striker is like No qb! Believe me or not, my favorite footballer is Messi but I like Real Madrid. It crazy. I don’t like cristiano and Barcelona.
They thought they were the best team in the league. But that means little to the GOAT. They were never the same after this game.
One of thee things that made TB12 the goat was how many times he shredded #1 ranked defenses. I remember every time the pats were up against the #1 ranked D, every sports commentator would talk night and day about if the patriots could beat this amazing defense. Sure enough, every single time Brady would torch the #1 ranked D.
The 2012 patriots have more first downs than any other team in league history
Except when it mattered most
@chrisuncleahmad, i still think it's a historicaly great offense. 557 points, a great passing and rushing game, #1 in 1st downs, 3rd down conversions, and redzone efficiency. Also, just 16 turnovers all year long. Oh yeah, and their defense was below average
NFL Throwback always bringing their A game🔥Recommendation: can we get the Brady vs Manning matchup from this season (2012)?
Brady led far away the best offense in the league, one of the best offenses in league history, and got absolutely zero MVP or All-Pro consideration. Tragic
The media had a palpably strange obsession to always give manning the MVP and all pro, even if he wasn’t the best QB in the league.
Don’t pull on Superman’s cape boys
I’ve never rooted for the Patriots, but seeing the Texans get their asses kicked after showing up in those douchey letter jackets was so satisfying.
The play action at 3:00 is just insane
this patriots team was so good. too bad they played during ray lewis's final year. they should have won. almost everyone on it is a belichick era legend.
I well always remember this game as the letterman game haha "little brother"
Houston picked the wrong road game to wear those Letterman Jackets.
They Should have worn them in their other MNF game that year against the Jets.
Or SNF at Chicago
I'll never forget this game... I rember J.J. walked out and spit on our midfield logo during pre-game.. lol.. then, we beat that ass.. lol..
1:00 what a great player, hopefully he's just as great off the field
He started getting alligator arms going across the middle later on, after the first shooting.
Go patriots ❤️💙
Yes Sir
These Patriots teams would straight up MAUL today’s Chiefs btw, because you know why, back then these Patriots teams were TOUGH, today’s Chiefs don’t know wtf that is because of the soft ass Nfl we have to watch now.
Obviously a lot of folks will make a big deal of this. But the purpose was supposed to be a team-bonding thing. Sure, it was against the wrong opponent who took it personally. At that time, the Texans were seen as a threat to take the AFC crown that season after what happened in 2011. They thought they could match up well with New England and it was expected to be a good game going in. As we all know, that didn't happen and the Pats made easy work of the Texans. That loss kind of sent the Texans into a tailspin to where they barely won the wild card game. The early 2010's Texans teams had potential to reach the Super Bowl. They just didn't have the it factor that you need. Hopefully that comes in the near future.
At the end of the day it was dumb to not think how it would look to NE....not one Texan said hey yall don't think this petty ass team will think we're calling them JV players like they still bought tht
They Should have worn those jackets in their other MNF game that year against the Jets.
Or SNF at Chicago
@@thedevilsrockstxr2309Houston should have worn those jackets in their other MNF game that year vs the Jets
I like JJ and think he’s a great player and person but at the time he was still young and it felt really good to shove it in their face. At that time you didn’t just go into New England and pull that nonsense.
Smh I remember this game like it was yesterday. We were playing great then came out the letterman jackets.. long story short Brady kicked our azz showed us he was the 🐐 and we were the little brothers humbled us real quick & the jackets were never to be seen again and the rest is history
Hernandez would have easily been a Hall of Famer, the offense with he and Gronk is the best Pats offense of all time. Yes, even better than 2007 with Moss
Its literally not....are u blind to numbers?
@@thedevilsrockstxr2309 With the 2 tight end set up, they were unpredictable because they were just as dangerous running as they were passing. If you put linebackers to stop the run, they couldn’t cover gronk or hernandez. If you put DBs on them, you could run all day because gronk was like an offensive lineman. 2007 was throwing to welker and moss predictably, required welker and brady to take too much damage, and wasn’t sustainable. That’s why it lasted only one year, and cost brady his ACL holding the ball too long to throw deep to Moss. The 2 tight end set was #1 in offense 2 years in a row, lost a super bowl last second to Eli just like 2007, then lost in the AFC title game because gronk was out for the season
@@Daniel_Capitalexcellent post.
Damn heads came into this game 11-1 and lost 18 of their next 22
Boy, that Hernandez guy was a true killer!
0:57 how do you not recover that fumble?!
I Miss Tom Brady NFL Throwback
Can you do Jets Colts week 4 2006? I loved that onside kick, loved that game!
An infamous game in Texans football history. Ppl thought the 2012 team could be superbowl contenders. The Packers blowout and this one changed that
To this day that make it rain celebration is so tuff 😂
damn what a team that 2014 patriots has. compelete football team. even luck is on their side. luck is always with the best.
So weird to think that the Texans were 11-1 and that Aaron Hernandez had a good reputation...
Aaron Hernandez was killing it in this game.
Literally
Aaron Hernandez absolutely killed Houston in this game, I mean he really put the dagger into their hopes of being the best in the AFC.
I love how one of the first things is "Great job by Aaron Hernandez hustling"
Just destroyed the Texans
Oh Hell Yeah
This is what New England Brady and Belichick were known for best team with the best record comes in to foxborough late yrs and get humbled by the Patriots and it would demoralize that team and heading into the playoffs u didnt recover 💯
Aaron Hernandez was always out there murdering the defense
Before chucky got cancelled. Shame on yall smh!
😂😂 me thinking Brady only had like four / five years left 😢 I was wrong
Twitter was calling them a jv team after this game
Tom Brady was selling the running plays to Texans making them look foolish !!!! Lol 😂 😂
RIP Ryan Mallett❤
Now it's Burnley vs Birmingham City
Yes, the NFL Vault, bring these back more often please, miss seeing fresh ones very much
My dad and I were at this game, my first time being at a patriots game. What. An. Experience and on top of it we murdered the Texans
What record was the pats before this game?
9-3
“They have the best record in the NFL. A balanced and explosive offense. Game changing plays on defense.”
“That’s nice, I’m Tom Fucking Brady.”
I'm getting I wouldn't want to fight me neitha flash Thompson energy out of JJ watt in the thumbnail 😭
Spoiler alert : The Texans did not pass the test
Lloyd has to be one of the most underrated player!
Imagine what Brady's career would be like if he had Aaron Hernandez and Gronk for longer??!
Patriots NEED to bring back these uniforms. I cannot stand the color rush as our standard uni
DMac with the pick!😊
This stat is crazy 6:47
Man Hernandez was something special, incredibly sad how he went out…
This Game made the Texans look like paper tigers cuz after this blowout they we're never the same again. But that's why the Patriots were a real dynasty.
Aaron Hernandez really murdered the Texans on that first touchdown
That was all Brady on that play.
@@4realGTFOHlame
I see what you did there😏
Honestly I always thought hernadez was just as good and sometimes better then Gronkowski. Wonder how many more rings we would have had if he had kept his shit together
@@4realGTFOH Imagine giving zero credit to a good ran route
Arian Foster is so underrated
Haaa the night where the Texans actually played like high schoolers 😂😂😂
