He did it at 40. He turned 40 during the 2002 season. He's my all time favorite player and I didn't even get to see him play in his 20s...he was THAT good
@@JTCin2025 Its especially impressive since WRs start going downhill around somewhere between their age 33 and 35 seasons. The WRs have a little more sustainability then RBs but only a few years longer. I would wager a bet that the majority of the players who made it to their late 30's in their career were either a QB, K or P. Maybe you get an occasional case of a lineman but any of the positions that rely on speed their careers don't last as long. So its a real testament to Jerry's hard work that stayed productive that late into his career.
@@JTCin2025He also had 2 HOF QB's throwing to him. Imagine if every WR had that oppotunity. And yes, they would be in HOF without him. I love Rice, and watched him his whole career, but let's not forget that either.
The Colts started 14-0 and went 14-2. The Saints started 13-0 and went 13-3. Lost a total of 5 games to end the regular season and played each other in the Super Bowl.

That 11-0 record from my Steelers was a fluke. If our offense was more well balanced, maybe they could’ve been more dominant in December. I wonder who will be the first team to beat the Eagles this season. I don’t think they’re gonna loose to either the Texans or Commanders. However, from Week 11 and beyond who knows 👀

So the '06 Colts are the only SB champions. Though a few crashed and burnt altogether, it's amazing how many of these teams ended up making the SB then losing.
So now you know how difficult it is to go undefeated, one team can say they’re perfect, the ‘72 Dolphins. And yes, there’s been teams that have come close in the NFL, but you need a lot of good and fortunate things to happen to your team to make it happen.

@@josephbanker3829 Jake Plumber was 3-0 vs Brady so that's how much weight that holds .. Manning never out played Brady at all in thise games.. As for those SB's with 2 different teams - Got humilated by Seattle 43-8 and couldn't even thrwo a TD (Same team Brady threw 4 TD's against in the SB the folling season) only QB to throw 4 TD's aginst Seattle in 4 seasons In Manning's last SB win he was beyond pathetic .. 0 TD's ,1 INT's and 134 yards passing 1 and out 9 times doesn't lie on how bad Manning was in the playoffs.. Imagine going to the McDonald's drive through 9 times and asking for a Big Mac and all 9 times they are out of them - there's an anolgy for you.. And how does one lose a Wild Card game to the Jets 41-0 Brady lost 3 SB's against the best teams in the NFC by a grand total of 15 points combined and in one of them he threw for a SB record 505 yards..
freaking ridiculous. Tom Coughlin's teams were the most inconsistent in the league but they were freaking dangerous in the playoffs. Patriots must have been traumatized. Giants probably had more losses in their two championship seasons than patriots had in 5 years.
Since Philly is 7-0 for the first time since that 04 super bowl run (probably the first one I remember watching, of what I remember watching as a kid) let’s hope the Eagles make it there again but this time get a ring. I remember being so devastated as a 7 year old kid who loved (and still does love) his Eagles when I found out they lost that super bowl
there was nothing the 2004 eagles couldn't do about it cause in the 2004 season the afc conference and especially the patriots exist. the afc championship game at that time between the 14-2 patriots vs 15-1 steelers was the real super bowl! the nfc conference and the eagles didn't even have a prayer at all in 04 season!
The 5-0 start by the Vikings was such a fluke, but the analysis doesn’t do it justice. That defense wasn’t just top 10. They were unstoppable despite having no OL or running game on the other side to give them rest. They saved the first five games with key turnovers, and Bradford was playing lights out. The OL was bad enough at the start of the year (Matt Kalil, Alex Boone and friends sucked) but then we were seeing the third string backups by midseason. Everyone says they have the worst OL, but watch a Vikings game from after week 5 and tell me you’ve seen a worse OL. There seemed to pressure instantly every play, without opposing teams blitzing anyone. TJ Clemmings one of the worst LTs I’ve ever seen (couldn’t stop anyone for a second, called for holding and false starts all the time). Matt Asiata totally shit starting RB (couldn’t get more than 3 yards on a run and out of the league soon after). Bradford had like a half second to throw most plays, to the point they had to scheme their offense around a useless line and he broke the completion percentage record with all the quick dumpoffs. The defense was still great but they couldn’t singlehandedly win games anymore and stopped getting as many turnovers as the first five weeks. Also lost our head coach for a game due to eye surgery. All around mess and it absolutely sucked watching it lol
You left out the Saints' 13-0 record in 2009, before losing their last three games, including an improbable overtime loss to a 2-14 Tampa Bay team. At 13-3, they beat the Colts in SB XLIV.
they should have shown the first snap of the 2020 Wild Card game between the Browns and the Steelers. Once that snap went over Big Ben's head, every Yinzer (UrinatingTree included) were in for a loooooong game
This video shows how, really, if you aren't able to make a statement in the playoffs/super bowl, a team ending up as the final undefeated team in the league can sometimes make no difference. I had no idea the Titans started 10-0 in 2008 for example, and the reason why I wasn't aware was purely because they didn't make the mark they *should have* and honestly that's just kind of depressing lol
2011 featured a lot of historically good offenses paired with equally historically bad defenses. The Packers, the Patriots, the Saints. Still, I never expected GB to get blown out on their own home field by a mediocre giants team (what helped them win it all in the end was that they actually had a good defense)
@@tommyl.dayandtherunaways820 While the 2011 Giants were a very talented defensive team, in terms of yards allowed they were 27th and in terms of points allowed they were 25th. The Giants only made the playoffs because of how dominant Eli Manning was in the 4th quarter, 15 4th quarter touchdown passes were a record at the time, and his 4,900 yards are still the most by a Quarterback in a Super Bowl Season. But you're totally right that the defense came together at the end and in the playoffs. That game against the 15-1 Packers is still one of the most shocking upsets I can remember, and honestly, that game could've been a lot more lopsided.
People don’t realize how good the 2005 colts were. They were better than their 06 Super Bowl team. They were the best defense and best offense. All around the board. It was crazy. They were pulling Peyton in the middle of the 3rd quarter in half their games.
They blew out the Steelers on that MNF game though against a Steelers team playing WITHOUT Big Ben. Also, that Steelers team that year had superstars. They were exceptional and had some big plays that year in games without Big Ben. You don't play your cards then and Steelers already saw it. The Colts did not even play Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, Seattle, and San Diego until after week 10. They were beating up on the 6-10 Ravens, Browns, Titans, 49ers, Rams, and Texans in the first half. The Steelers played a tougher schedule.
The Steelers looked like a SB team that year too. They had Bettis, they had Ward, they had Miller, they had defense and an exceptional player in Troy Palumalu.
Update 2023: The Philadelphia Eagles and San Francisco 49ers went 5-0 to start the year after facing off in last season's NFC Championship Game, but they both lost to backup quarterbacks on the road in Week 6. The Eagles went 10-1 before a major collapse that saw them go just 1-7, including a wild card loss to Tampa. The 49ers finished 12-5 with home field and escape with victories against Green Bay and Detroit as they head to Super Bowl 58 against the Chiefs.
The Panthers loss to the Falcons was a joke. Panthers went up 7-0 on the first drive, stopped the Falcons on a 3rd and 15. Would’ve gotten the ball back and based on the first drive, go down and score again.. then a Falcons receiver tackled a Panthers guy and the refs gave Carolina a 15 yard unnecessary roughness penalty. Falcons went on to get a TD that drive and the Panthers looked like garbage the rest of the game. It really was a bad refs call that swung the momentum and changed the course of the game. The game is on YT. Watch the first 10 minutes and see for yourself.
As a life long chiefs fan who got to watch two decades of post season choke I am so glad that Manning is retired. I’m also aware Mahomes is doing the exact same thing to half the league. But that’s just how it is, enjoy it while it lasts.
Almost every undefeated teams season ended to one of the following: - The Giant Killers - Colts and/or Peyton Manning - Lost to the eventual Super Bowl Champions - Lost in the Super Bowl
Probably because when you win your first bunch of games you think you're doing everything perfect and don't have to shake things up and then you get predictable and it makes it easier to gameplan against you.
@@joemckim1183 Surerly. And also, these long streaks are probably as much a distraction and burden for the players as it is an achievment, for it creates a false focus. And when it ends it's probably at least as much a relief as it is sadness. When they are multiple scores down at last, I guess many of them secretly welcome this long-last L so this totally meaningless false focus goes away at last.
that was a trap game, but the truth was that Steelers offense was weak AF. no balance, middling on ball control, and didnt they also have one of the weakest schedules to that point in the season? no run game is why they lost. couldn't ice the game or control the clock with the lead.
@@williamkelly8951 oh i admit we got it pretty easy up until that point. But our season immediately went straight down hill after that whole fiasco. Yes, there were other factors at play, but that was a clear turning point in the season.
It’s amazing how many years involve the Chiefs. 3 teams this century, surprisingly none with Mahomes under center. They ruined Green Bay’s perfect record, and defeated the once perfect 49ers in the Super Bowl
What’s really crazy to me about the 2004 Eagles is that even though they were that year’s last undefeated team, won 13 games and were the top team in the NFC, the Steelers and Patriots both had better records than them and each looked like a far superior team both times they played Philly that season.
Update: 2022: Philadelphia started 8-0 before being upset by the Washington Commanders at home. They still finished at 14-3 and played the Chiefs in Super Bowl 57 before losing 38-35.
I'm a die hard Packers fan and just thinking about the dynasty they could have been just kills me. Every season after sb xlv just seemed like we been cursed.
Die hard packer fan right here too between the defense doing terrible or Rodgers not making the plays to get over the hump again we could’ve been to at least 4 Super Bowls imo
As a Bostonian…2007 was rough as a pats fan. My submarine returned from deployment in November. We had been deployed for 6 months. My Celtics got the “big 3” together My bruins found a new coach My Red Sox were KILLING everyone Then, my patriots were on a fuckin rampage. Super bowl 42 was heartbreaking. What made it worse?!?! I was stationed in Hawaii, and my barracks at Pearl Harbor is viewable from aloha stadium where the pro bow was played. Signs were everywhere that said “congrats champion NY Giants” that whole week was a Fuckin hangover from the game to the pro bowl game
With how they do scheduling now, I think 3 near 7 games is like the best outcome. i cannot remember a time when it was more than 2 teams once you hit 8 games. at least not since like the 80's/90's
my packers had no business going 13-0 in 2011. they had the worst ranked defense in the league. but rodgers and the receivers willed that team to those wins.
This video brought us some painful memories, all my Packers had to do was beat the Giants at home, and we shit the bed. Again. At home. Against the Giants. Too many Super Bowl opportunities wasted by either bad defense, an off day for the offense, or our special teams rearing it’s ugly head. Pain.
The Patriots also started 2004 6-0, 2015 10-0, and 2019 8-0. Nevermind that they also had the fourth most (2000s) and the most wins (2010s) in a decade in NFL history.
Technically in 2010, the Chiefs were the last undefeated team, not the Chiefs and Steelers. Steelers lost in week 4, while the Chiefs had a bye week, so they were still 3-0 entering week 5.
Aaron Rodgers is overrated his whole career is winning one Super Bowl and then winning games in Green Bay but his career record on the road as of November 2 2022 is 62 wins and 60 losses.
Lmao the NFL did everything in their power in 2018 to make sure the new LA market Rams made the super bowl. That game should've been Patriots vs Saints.
until super bowl 51, that nfc championship game against the 49ers was my greatest pain as a Falcons fan (at that point it was the biggest blown lead in playoff history *cries*)
When the Lions were at 16-0 life was good. Then I woke up to 0-16. They just kept setting the losing records that they themselves had set. In a nut shell, they had a perfect season. And kept breaking so many records.
The Packers receiving core in that 2011 Divisional vs New York dropped the most passes in any game of the 2011 season. It was pretty crazy how they let Rodgers down that season
Crazy that the Patriots 2007 undefeated season would've ended in Baltimore if not for Rex Ryan calling a time out. The Ravens season was lost by that point and they would've salvaged it that night. Also, the Ravens divisional loss to that '06 Colts team was brutal. 2nd worst loss in team history.
@stephenschwenke720 Brian Billick coached that team in '07. It was his last year before Harbaugh took over in '08. Rex Ryan was the DC. Ryan called a timeout on a 4th down stop that would've ended that game and the Patriots undefeated season.
Then came that MNF game vs. the Washington Commanders and the Eagles were humbled, but now they are 1 win away from their 2nd Super Bowl appearance in 5 years.
What I found astonishing was that, while the Patriots have been the most successful team so far in the 2000s, they were only the last undefeated team once (18-0!)… and they failed to win the Super Bowl that year.
Watching Packer fans weep always makes me happy. I could easily enjoy watching a 30+ minute video of nothing but dejected Packer fans crying their little hearts out.
That 2001 Rams team did win every game Marshall Faulk played in minus the Superbowl of course. Faulk needs to be mentioned more in the best ever conversations..
I remember thinking the '08 Titans might just be the team to finally take us all the way. But once again another postseason letdown. It took them 8 years to make it back to the playoffs
A 41-0 Conference Championship loss is exactly what I would expect from a season the Vikings started off undefeated in.
I agree as a Vikings fan
Don’t forget some years later we are the last undefeated team and don’t even make the playoffs. Skol
Damn I wanted the vikings to win so bad in that nfc championship.I was let down so bad I couldn't believe new york handled them like that but it was alright because the Ravens smashed the giants in that years super bowl.
41-Donut*
That was the year theu found out the Giants could hear the Vikings play calls through the headsets.
I find it crazy that Jerry Rice had 1k receiving yards in his late 30s
He did it at 40. He turned 40 during the 2002 season. He's my all time favorite player and I didn't even get to see him play in his 20s...he was THAT good
He's the True GOAT for a reason
And he did this after tearing his ACL in 1997. He might have averaged 250-300 yards MORE per year had that injury never happened.

1 and out 9 times doesn't lie on how bad Manning was in the playoffs.. Imagine going to the McDonald's drive through 9 times and asking for a Big Mac and all 9 times they are out of them - there's an anolgy for you..
And how does one lose a Wild Card game to the Jets 41-0
Brady lost 3 SB's against the best teams in the NFC by a grand total of 15 points combined and in one of them he threw for a SB record 505 yards..
The 2011 Giants playoff run was legendary
freaking ridiculous. Tom Coughlin's teams were the most inconsistent in the league but they were freaking dangerous in the playoffs. Patriots must have been traumatized. Giants probably had more losses in their two championship seasons than patriots had in 5 years.
Don't be hater just accept your losses son
The 2007 playoff run might be more legendary
That panthers season was insane and will always be the best season of my life
Since Philly is 7-0 for the first time since that 04 super bowl run (probably the first one I remember watching, of what I remember watching as a kid) let’s hope the Eagles make it there again but this time get a ring. I remember being so devastated as a 7 year old kid who loved (and still does love) his Eagles when I found out they lost that super bowl
Gonna be 8-0 when they win against the Texans tomorrow
@@sickboy8914 i hope they go 17-0 and lose in the first round. Vikes vs bills superbowl.
I was hurt too back in 04
@@JalenBrunson558 Yeah I think as of right now its a safe bet the Bills will go to the Super Bowl
there was nothing the 2004 eagles couldn't do about it cause in the 2004 season the afc conference and especially the patriots exist. the afc championship game at that time between the 14-2 patriots vs 15-1 steelers was the real super bowl! the nfc conference and the eagles didn't even have a prayer at all in 04 season!
The 5-0 start by the Vikings was such a fluke, but the analysis doesn’t do it justice.
That defense wasn’t just top 10. They were unstoppable despite having no OL or running game on the other side to give them rest. They saved the first five games with key turnovers, and Bradford was playing lights out.
The OL was bad enough at the start of the year (Matt Kalil, Alex Boone and friends sucked) but then we were seeing the third string backups by midseason. Everyone says they have the worst OL, but watch a Vikings game from after week 5 and tell me you’ve seen a worse OL. There seemed to pressure instantly every play, without opposing teams blitzing anyone. TJ Clemmings one of the worst LTs I’ve ever seen (couldn’t stop anyone for a second, called for holding and false starts all the time). Matt Asiata totally shit starting RB (couldn’t get more than 3 yards on a run and out of the league soon after). Bradford had like a half second to throw most plays, to the point they had to scheme their offense around a useless line and he broke the completion percentage record with all the quick dumpoffs.
The defense was still great but they couldn’t singlehandedly win games anymore and stopped getting as many turnovers as the first five weeks. Also lost our head coach for a game due to eye surgery. All around mess and it absolutely sucked watching it lol
I will NEVER forget Cam's Panthers. Not even my team but was incredible to watch
You left out the Saints' 13-0 record in 2009, before losing their last three games, including an improbable overtime loss to a 2-14 Tampa Bay team. At 13-3, they beat the Colts in SB XLIV.
Why would they mention the 13-0 Saints from 2009 when the Colts were the last team standing at 14-0 the same year?
@@topchief1
Point taken, but you gotta admit, two incredible runs by two teams in the same season is pretty impressive.
Read the title bro, also bountygate
@@raymondhopwood9393 And then ended up playing each other in the super bowl at that.
@@mediocrely_extraordinary0246ah the witch hunt that’s right
Y’all be on point with the uploads
they should have shown the first snap of the 2020 Wild Card game between the Browns and the Steelers.
Once that snap went over Big Ben's head, every Yinzer (UrinatingTree included) were in for a loooooong game
Such a classic moment
7:05 forgot to the mention that was when OWens started beefing with Mcnab. Loved watching that game on Halloween
This video shows how, really, if you aren't able to make a statement in the playoffs/super bowl, a team ending up as the final undefeated team in the league can sometimes make no difference. I had no idea the Titans started 10-0 in 2008 for example, and the reason why I wasn't aware was purely because they didn't make the mark they *should have* and honestly that's just kind of depressing lol
That 2011 Packers team had one of the best offensive seasons ever. It was that defense on the other hand that was atrocious.
The offense had so many mistakes and drops in their playoff game
Defense was actually good on paper. Surprising they didn’t show up as much as their offense did
2011 featured a lot of historically good offenses paired with equally historically bad defenses. The Packers, the Patriots, the Saints. Still, I never expected GB to get blown out on their own home field by a mediocre giants team (what helped them win it all in the end was that they actually had a good defense)
@@tommyl.dayandtherunaways820 While the 2011 Giants were a very talented defensive team, in terms of yards allowed they were 27th and in terms of points allowed they were 25th. The Giants only made the playoffs because of how dominant Eli Manning was in the 4th quarter, 15 4th quarter touchdown passes were a record at the time, and his 4,900 yards are still the most by a Quarterback in a Super Bowl Season. But you're totally right that the defense came together at the end and in the playoffs. That game against the 15-1 Packers is still one of the most shocking upsets I can remember, and honestly, that game could've been a lot more lopsided.
Defense saved Rodgers ass in the NFC Championship game vs Chicago - Rogers 0 TD's , 2 INT's , QBR 54.2
People don’t realize how good the 2005 colts were. They were better than their 06 Super Bowl team. They were the best defense and best offense. All around the board. It was crazy. They were pulling Peyton in the middle of the 3rd quarter in half their games.
They blew out the Steelers on that MNF game though against a Steelers team playing WITHOUT Big Ben. Also, that Steelers team that year had superstars. They were exceptional and had some big plays that year in games without Big Ben. You don't play your cards then and Steelers already saw it. The Colts did not even play Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, Seattle, and San Diego until after week 10. They were beating up on the 6-10 Ravens, Browns, Titans, 49ers, Rams, and Texans in the first half. The Steelers played a tougher schedule.
The Steelers looked like a SB team that year too. They had Bettis, they had Ward, they had Miller, they had defense and an exceptional player in Troy Palumalu.
You forgot the close call the 07 Pats had in week 17 against the Giants. Game ended 35-38
Yep, it was definetly a warning sign.
Another impressive hidden gem from this channel. 👍
Thanks NFL Throwback. I'm very hopeful for my Eagles Heading into the Playoffs now😂🦅
Yeah they gonna flame out
@@Balmighty7 nah we in the SB
@@thomassankara1391 lol you was waiting to come back to this haha yep ate my words
Update 2023: The Philadelphia Eagles and San Francisco 49ers went 5-0 to start the year after facing off in last season's NFC Championship Game, but they both lost to backup quarterbacks on the road in Week 6. The Eagles went 10-1 before a major collapse that saw them go just 1-7, including a wild card loss to Tampa. The 49ers finished 12-5 with home field and escape with victories against Green Bay and Detroit as they head to Super Bowl 58 against the Chiefs.
I love that the Bengals defeat of the 9-0 Chiefs was preceded by Chad Johnson's guarantee.
The 2015 Panthers was truly a cultural phenomenon. You had to be there when they was unbeaten.
I just remember my dad being sooo happy he drafted Cam Newton in fantasy
The Panthers loss to the Falcons was a joke. Panthers went up 7-0 on the first drive, stopped the Falcons on a 3rd and 15. Would’ve gotten the ball back and based on the first drive, go down and score again.. then a Falcons receiver tackled a Panthers guy and the refs gave Carolina a 15 yard unnecessary roughness penalty. Falcons went on to get a TD that drive and the Panthers looked like garbage the rest of the game. It really was a bad refs call that swung the momentum and changed the course of the game. The game is on YT. Watch the first 10 minutes and see for yourself.
Especially when they beat Seattle
As a life long chiefs fan who got to watch two decades of post season choke I am so glad that Manning is retired. I’m also aware Mahomes is doing the exact same thing to half the league. But that’s just how it is, enjoy it while it lasts.
Almost every undefeated teams season ended to one of the following:
- The Giant Killers
- Colts and/or Peyton Manning
- Lost to the eventual Super Bowl Champions
- Lost in the Super Bowl
I absolutely love videos like this. No notes.
These videos are amazing. Thank you for this good job. NFL throwback makes us travel through time ;)
Video Idea: Most iconic conference championship matchups. Examples: Favre-Brees ‘09, Brady-Mahomes ‘18, Brady-Manning ‘06, Aikman-Young early 90’s.
p sure those games are uploaded on this channel m8. besides NE-KC ‘18.
@@Tazer183 Yeah I know, I’m saying like a compilation of them.
Pretty wild how the '06 Colts are (through the '22 season) the only final unbeaten team to win it all. Momentum is extremely underrated!
Giants making Patriots 18-1 is a classic upsetting knockoff!
the (then) Colts radio announcer's shout at 13:55 almost took me out lol
Interesting how many of these undefeated runs ended in huge, multi-score defeats.
Probably because when you win your first bunch of games you think you're doing everything perfect and don't have to shake things up and then you get predictable and it makes it easier to gameplan against you.
@@joemckim1183 Surerly.
And also, these long streaks are probably as much a distraction and burden for the players as it is an achievment, for it creates a false focus. And when it ends it's probably at least as much a relief as it is sadness. When they are multiple scores down at last, I guess many of them secretly welcome this long-last L so this totally meaningless false focus goes away at last.
@@bioLarzen Nobody remembers who was the best team in September and October, they only care who was the best team in early February.
Forgot to mention how the steelers played 3 games in I think 13 days and the WFT game was the 3rd of that
And their opponents schedule during that same time was what? Everybody off of a bye week?
that was a trap game, but the truth was that Steelers offense was weak AF. no balance, middling on ball control, and didnt they also have one of the weakest schedules to that point in the season? no run game is why they lost. couldn't ice the game or control the clock with the lead.
@@williamkelly8951 oh i admit we got it pretty easy up until that point. But our season immediately went straight down hill after that whole fiasco. Yes, there were other factors at play, but that was a clear turning point in the season.
@@ATEC101 what do you mean? If your trying to ask what other team had to do that, the answer is no one
Wait, he mentions the 2009 saints defeating the colts but no word of their season which was 13-0 until Dallas?
Because the colts were the last remaining undefeated team that season at 14-0
It’s amazing how many years involve the Chiefs. 3 teams this century, surprisingly none with Mahomes under center. They ruined Green Bay’s perfect record, and defeated the once perfect 49ers in the Super Bowl
So you're telling me... in 22 years, there's only been ONE team to win the Super Bowl when they were the last undefeated team that year?
Great Video 📸 NFL Throwback 🏈 You Got The Greatest Football 🏈 Games Of All Time.
What’s really crazy to me about the 2004 Eagles is that even though they were that year’s last undefeated team, won 13 games and were the top team in the NFC, the Steelers and Patriots both had better records than them and each looked like a far superior team both times they played Philly that season.
Update: 2022: Philadelphia started 8-0 before being upset by the Washington Commanders at home. They still finished at 14-3 and played the Chiefs in Super Bowl 57 before losing 38-35.
The last time I was this early the Steelers were 11-0 😂😂😂
I'm a die hard Packers fan and just thinking about the dynasty they could have been just kills me. Every season after sb xlv just seemed like we been cursed.
Die hard packer fan right here too between the defense doing terrible or Rodgers not making the plays to get over the hump again we could’ve been to at least 4 Super Bowls imo
12:30 fun fact: that footage of CJ2k isn't sped up.
I remember when I cared about football.
It was back when they tackled hard and there weren't 15 flags during the 4 hour games with 2 hours of ads.
As a Bostonian…2007 was rough as a pats fan. My submarine returned from deployment in November. We had been deployed for 6 months.
My Celtics got the “big 3” together
My bruins found a new coach
My Red Sox were KILLING everyone
Then, my patriots were on a fuckin rampage.
Super bowl 42 was heartbreaking.
What made it worse?!?! I was stationed in Hawaii, and my barracks at Pearl Harbor is viewable from aloha stadium where the pro bow was played.
Signs were everywhere that said “congrats champion NY Giants” that whole week was a Fuckin hangover from the game to the pro bowl game
Hey Bubblehead, thanks for your service & Happy Veterans Day.
Man best part of those clips were the announcers i remember how fun games used to be bring back the 2000s enthusiasm
07 pays are the greatest team ever assembled. Took a literal God miracle to stop them.
I wish there more undefeated teams throughout the season
Fx
With how they do scheduling now, I think 3 near 7 games is like the best outcome. i cannot remember a time when it was more than 2 teams once you hit 8 games. at least not since like the 80's/90's
That 2012 playoff game between the Seahawks and the Falcons was electric. Wish we could have gotten the job done against the Niners too/
Thanks football
my packers had no business going 13-0 in 2011. they had the worst ranked defense in the league. but rodgers and the receivers willed that team to those wins.
our defense was so good😭 im a steelers fan btw
This video brought us some painful memories, all my Packers had to do was beat the Giants at home, and we shit the bed. Again. At home. Against the Giants. Too many Super Bowl opportunities wasted by either bad defense, an off day for the offense, or our special teams rearing it’s ugly head. Pain.
You guys also forgot to mention that the 2019 Patriots started 8-0
Oh yeah didn’t they lose to the Ravens that season to end the streak?
@@TJZ243 yep, the whole season derailed after that Ravens loss
The Patriots also started 2004 6-0, 2015 10-0, and 2019 8-0.
Nevermind that they also had the fourth most (2000s) and the most wins (2010s) in a decade in NFL history.
mccorkle jones is your quarterback
@@mediocrely_extraordinary0246 And?
The 2019 pats had one of the easiest schedules in history. Everyone knew they weren't going past the 1st round.
You forgot that the Saints also started 13-0 in 2009
Colts were the last remaining and had a 14-0 record which was better than the 13-0 start. Pay attention.
Hell of a video, good job!
Commanders did it again. This time to the team on the other side of Pennsylvania
2011 Packers should have lost to Giants in regular season but the payback in the playoffs was much better
I noticed that the New York football 🏈 GIANTS are handing out a lot of upsets on this list 😆 🤣 let's goo G-MEN 💪
Lol y'all ought to name your team the Davids 🤣
Technically in 2010, the Chiefs were the last undefeated team, not the Chiefs and Steelers. Steelers lost in week 4, while the Chiefs had a bye week, so they were still 3-0 entering week 5.
Aaron Rodgers is overrated his whole career is winning one Super Bowl and then winning games in Green Bay but his career record on the road as of November 2 2022 is 62 wins and 60 losses.
Teams win games. Not individual players.
Don’t matter the record, if you hot at the right time you gonna thrive
Hi🙂
Lmao the NFL did everything in their power in 2018 to make sure the new LA market Rams made the super bowl. That game should've been Patriots vs Saints.
hi
25:29 really clever producing, cutting to the same play from a different angle
until super bowl 51, that nfc championship game against the 49ers was my greatest pain as a Falcons fan (at that point it was the biggest blown lead in playoff history *cries*)
When the Lions were at 16-0 life was good. Then I woke up to 0-16. They just kept setting the losing records that they themselves had set. In a nut shell, they had a perfect season. And kept breaking so many records.
Cool video!
Great video!
missed the bengals 8-0 start in 2015
4:44 nate clements nailed tom brady, trent green nailed nate clements
19:17 Dexter mccluster , we went to the same high school together when he played running back
The Packers receiving core in that 2011 Divisional vs New York dropped the most passes in any game of the 2011 season. It was pretty crazy how they let Rodgers down that season
God I miss the 2015 Panthers so much 😭😭
Crazy that the Patriots 2007 undefeated season would've ended in Baltimore if not for Rex Ryan calling a time out. The Ravens season was lost by that point and they would've salvaged it that night.
Also, the Ravens divisional loss to that '06 Colts team was brutal. 2nd worst loss in team history.
I thought that John Harbaugh was coaching the Ravens in 07
@stephenschwenke720 Brian Billick coached that team in '07. It was his last year before Harbaugh took over in '08. Rex Ryan was the DC. Ryan called a timeout on a 4th down stop that would've ended that game and the Patriots undefeated season.
Awesome video
Then came that MNF game vs. the Washington Commanders and the Eagles were humbled, but now they are 1 win away from their 2nd Super Bowl appearance in 5 years.
Nice video. Great decision by Caldwell!
I know the Colts were the last undefeated team in 2009 at 14-0, but I feel like it's worth mentioning the Saints went 13-0.
Yeah definitely should've been mentioned as those two teams set the record for longest unbeatens in the same year!
What I found astonishing was that, while the Patriots have been the most successful team so far in the 2000s, they were only the last undefeated team once (18-0!)… and they failed to win the Super Bowl that year.
Watching Packer fans weep always makes me happy. I could easily enjoy watching a 30+ minute video of nothing but dejected Packer fans crying their little hearts out.
Lesson: if you go undefeated you will lose
2015 Panthers still hurts 😢💔
The 2023 Eagles will fit right in when this video is updated 😑
That 2001 Rams team did win every game Marshall Faulk played in minus the Superbowl of course. Faulk needs to be mentioned more in the best ever conversations..
I remember thinking the '08 Titans might just be the team to finally take us all the way. But once again another postseason letdown. It took them 8 years to make it back to the playoffs
It’s crazy looking back at 2015 Cam.
