With 68 seconds and 3 timeouts left you can basically start from your own 5 and still have a chance to win by a field goal. Just look what the chief did against the bills. I'll never understand why defenses don't play more aggressive in such situations.
@@Benno20101 naw i disagree, during this time the game of football was football and defense can play defense actually, today defense cannot do anything without getting a flag and it's just all about the offense and high score games and during this time the patriots with bill belichek Brady were just a step ahead over every team, but bills chiefs game whoever had the ball last was going to win because both teams had juggernaut offenses..still was a great game though
It's a damn shame that people have forgotten how well Delhomme played in this Super Bowl. That Pats defense was #1 all year and had just shut down the two co-MVPS of the league in their last two games, particularly humiliating Peyton Manning. The fact that Delhomme was able to throw it all over the field on them was incredible.
It honestly makes sense a short agile and physical receiver like Steve smith with excellent route running was almost perfect to beat our physical man coverage in a way that Reggie Wayne just wasn’t equipped to if Carolina had won I would’ve given mvp to Steve smith
Because they faced off against the Dehlome led panthers, this game gets forgotten. But this is one of the greatest games ever in a SuperBowl. It had offense and defense played at a high level.
What? Did you forget the 25 point comeback in SB 51? That was by far the greatest Super Bowl of all time. Perhaps the greatest game of all time. This is coming from a 49ers fan.
Once he found a rhythm, he most definitely did. Remember the Panthers were a run-first team, much like their most recent NFC Championship team was, and they couldn't get the running game going aside from the 2 long ones broken that directly led to 9 of their points. And yes, he was only 1/9 for 1 yard through the first 17 minutes, but after that, he was 15/24 for 322 yards and 3 TDs. That's insane, regardless who puts up those kinds of numbers.
He missed a likely game winning touchdown to Foster. Go to 8:07. If he lobs that ball out to Foster, that is a walk in TD. Instead he's way off target on a 4th and goal play.
John Kasay made sure of that sh*t. The Panthers had won something like 6 Games in OT that year giving them the Nickname the Cardiac Cats. Had we made it to OT. I think the Panthers take the ring!
Not a panthers fan but seeing Jake Delhomme face at the end of the game still kills me, him, Smith, foster, Muhammad took it to patriots and went toe to toe...like their live announcer said "they did everything but win this game"
As a Patriots fan who has watched them for 30 years that was probably the best Patriots defense and Jake Delhomme played one hell of a game! He played his heart out and lost to a dynasty and one the greatest defenses of all time There's no shame in that. and that was one the best teams and defenses the Patriots have played against in the Belichick era
@@davidbarton1806 yeah I never looked at it that way but that's true, they lost to a dynasty and maybe one of the best ever in the NFL, it's just sad how underdogs rarely ever win in the NFL or in any other sports, the 2003 panthers were a great underdog story that year too
Me too 😁 From Hungary. I was 21 years old and that was the first american football match in my life. That was the first american football match on the tv in Hungary 😁
CDZ NUTZZZ The Patriots have used that play in many big games over the years. 2006 Playoffs vs Chargers they ran it with Faulk, they ran it with Woodhead in some playoff game, and of course White in SB 52
TheLocalLt and they have also run this play but as a fake direct snap and Brady has all day to throw (ie. 2007 playoffs vs the jags for a touchdown to Wes Welker)
vinateiri missed two kicks? wait but i thought tom brady wouldn't have won this ring without him? you mean to tell me i've been living by the tom brady ring meme wrong this whole time and that i'll have to accept tom brady actually is a great qb? oh my.
@@billyboblillybob344 Can't really get on him for the blocked one but his first miss was a chip-shot. I think the point here is that the narrative that Vinatieri has "bailed Tom Brady out" is complete horseshit and anyone that says that is a mouthbreathing idiot, which is completely true. There's a reason why people are now trying to blame Carolina's kicker for kicking it out, like Brady wouldn't have been able to drive it right down the field anyway (he literally did it 2 Super Bowls prior).
@@SmugTomato Completely agree. I was just pointing out that a 'missed' field goal isn't really the same as a 'blocked' field goal (kicking it higher being an irrelevant comment). These haters will literally say anything to soil Brady's unmatched legacy. It's pretty comical stuff likely coming from fans of those franchises that the Patriots have passed with their 20 year run.
@@xXZ3keSt4rXx Yeah, only 25 yards for the kicker that missed a chip shot earlier in the game. Seriously man, just give credit where credit is due. Is was still a very clutch drive by Brady.
Panthers MLB Dan Morgan (#55) had 22 total tackles (16 Solo), 4 tackles for loss, 3 Pass Break Ups and 2 QB pressures. One of the greatest individual defensive performances in Super Bowl history. He set the NFL record for Total Tackles in a Super Bowl during this game, that record still stands today some 17+ years later. He was seen by the cameras on the sideline puking between his legs on the bench 4-5 times throughout the game, that’s how hard he was going. Dude went all out to the max. He rightfully was voted a Pro Bowler & All-Pro for that season.
The new logos are awful. They brought out a new idea on super bowl 45 and copied the design, then when super bowl 50 it was even worse. The new ones is just an attempt to bring back originality. "Oh this one's in Los Angeles!" "Oh this one's in Phoenix!" "Oh this one's in Vegas!". Still not original when you're just doing the same thing over and over again. The super bowl 59 logo just sucks. The green doesn't look good. Atleast we can cherrypick who makes it to the super bowl, this year it's the 49ers and the Ravens. Just pray that they go back to pre SB 45 and make original logos for once.
This is still one of the greatest (and weirdest) games ever played, shame it gets overlooked a bit since so many of the newer Pats SBs have been classics as well.
@@chrisuncleahmad666 Wrong. No one predicted that the Seahawks would pass it at the 1-yard line instead of giving it to Marshawn Lynch. No one predicted that the Falcons would build up a 25-point lead and then blow it. No one predicted that SB 53 would be a low-scoring affair instead of a high-scoring affair.
@@tevinsherrill5653 1. Everyone could have predicted that, because Seattle did it all season. 2. The Falcons choking could also be predicted, as Brady is called "the Comeback kid", so yes, everything was predictable. Which made it very, very boring.
This was the first NFL game I ever saw and found it amazing! Ever since, I continue watching the Superbowl yet this game has been the most memorable to me. Helped me understand and respect the game☺
I’m not a Pats fan but boy have they played some Super Bowl classics. In my mind the Seahawks vs Patriots Super Bowl will go down as the greatest one ever (mostly because it went back and forth. The Seahawks looked destined to win it the whole way starting in Green Bay and then just ran out of magic at the last possible minute.) The last Super Bowl was okay but if anything the great offense could be attributed to atrocious defense. Seattle and New England both had excellent defenses when they played. Seattle had an all time great defense. The Falcons vs Patriots game was really good too, but it was mostly just watching the Falcons have a complete meltdown at the end lol Anyways, the Panthers vs Patriots SB could be argued as better than any of those. What a game!
seattles defence was compromised in that game though, sherman thomas and chancellor were all seriously injured but still played, but the play of the game was the jeremy lane broken leg because his backup ended up getting torched on the final drive
@@Jpgoeagles true that Sherman, Thomas, and Chancellor were banged up, but they still had a 10 pt lead going to the 4th. But one Lane got hurt, Simon got torched and picked on. Still, dumbest move by Carroll.
THE #1 Most Underrated Super Bowl of ALL TIME (in my opinion). At the very least it is the most underrated of the 2000’s. (But myself along with plenty of other fans agree it’s the most underrated of all time). The Tom Brady led pats we’re coming off a pretty dominant season...putting of better stats & a better record than the underdog panthers. The Pats/Brady had just won their 1st Super Bowl just 2 seasons earlier in the 2001-2002 season & we’re back again for the second time in 3 years. The Panthers had a roller coaster of a season...but the “Cardiac Cats” played hard, finishing with a 10-6 record & earning an NFC Wild Card Playoff spot.. They were the underdogs in every playoff game of this postseason...playing every game on the road (against Dallas, the Greatest Show on Turf in St. Louis in triple OT, finally winning the NFC @,Philly.. Led by the 4th overall ranked Defense in the NFL this season the Panthers had a very stout defense led by one of the best D-Lines of all time...w/ Mike Rucker, Brenston Buckner, Julius Peppers & Kris Jenkins...talented LB’s in Morgan & Witherspoon...and a competent Secondary w/ hard hitting safety Mike Minter plus CB Ricky Manning Jr who had a monster postseason run. The offense was led by the 10th ranked O-Line w/ a Rookie Jordan Gross at LT, All-Pro/Pro-Bowl WR’s in Steve Smith & Muhsin Muhammad (plus savvy veterans like Ricky Proehl). Two talented RB’s on hot streaks in veteran Stephen Davis & the younger Deshaun Foster (Davis went over 1,000 Rushing Yards this season & Fostef emerged later in the season/postseason as a talented back...those two combined for nearly 100 Rushing Yards & 1 Rushing TD in this game. QB Jake Delhomme (former backup for the Saints for a couple seasons...and a former NFL-Europe Player...came out of nowhere this season when he replaced starter Rodney Peete during Week 1 vs. Jacksonville...leading us to a last minute victory & leading us to a double-digit win season...he was named an All-Pro/Pro-Bowler this season and would remain our franchise player for a further 7 seasons. Steve Smith, Ricky Proehl, Muhammad & D. foster all scored a TD in this game...Delhomme went off for 323 Passing yards, 3 TD’s & 0 Int’s plus a then-SB record for longest passing TD with an 85 Yarder to Muhammad to tie it up later in the second half. The game was tied at 29 with under 3 minutes to go in the 4th when Panther kicker J. Kasay kicked our kickoff out of bounds...allowing Brady & the Pats offense to start in great field position at their own 40. It was pretty much over once that happened. Took them only 4 plays to run out the remaining time on the clock & to get into decent FG range...which Vinateiri made...giving them a 32-29 win and earning Brady his second SB ring.
Classic game where you shouldn't go for 2 unless you have to. Here's my argument: When the Panthers scored to make it 21-16, they went for 2, hoping to make it 21-18 (within a FG). They didn't make it. If they would've just kicked it, it would be 21-17. Panthers score again to go up 22-21 now. In order to be up by a FG, they went for it again and didn't get it. However, if the score was 21-17, the touchdown would've made it 23-21, and kicking it would've made it a FG lead at 24-21, but instead, it's 22-21. Patriots answer back, making it 27-22. They go for 2 and get it, making the score 29-22 (TD lead). However, if the score was 27-24, it is very unlikely that Belicheck goes for 2 and just kicks the extra point, which would've made the score 28-24, instead of 29-22. Panthers score late, tying the game at 29. However, if it was 28-24 before they scored, now the score would be 31-28 after they scored. This means that the Patriots would need a FG just to tie, instead of to win. Even if Vinatiari ties the game up... the game goes into OT. The way the Panthers played in OT that year, it would've been very interesting to see what happens after that... but, instead, the Panthers left points on the board, and we never got to see that "what if" scenario play out.
As a Panthers fan, it's definitely a painful "what if" to think about. However, that being said, I think it's safe to say that whoever would've won the coin toss would've won the game, given how each offense was just picking the opposing defenses to shreds at that point. If the Panthers got it first, they win, especially with the Patriots not having Rodney Harrison in the secondary after he broke his arm. If the Patriots got it first, likewise. Only stop the Panthers got that 4th quarter was really a self-inflicted wound by Brady floating it up for grabs in the end zone that led to the pick.
As a Bears fan John Fox is one of the worst coaches ever when it comes to that stuff but also if the dumbass kicker didn’t kick the kickoff out of bounds I doubt the Pats have enough time to get all the way down the field for a field goal
I understand the logic behind the "just kick it" argument, but the argument the other way would state that if the Panthers did succeed on their first two-point try, they'd have been within a field goal and be in much better shape down only three. Of course, we all know how the math works out once they missed it and if they'd just kicked the PAT (thank you J. A. Greene), but there is good reason in going for two, especially if the game goes scoreless until late. Say the Patriots maintain the lead in the fourth quarter with neither team scoring, and the Panthers are down 21-18 with less than a minute to go and have, say, a 4th and 12 from the 29-yard line. There is a good chance the field goal goes through to tie the game for the Panthers, and a much lower chance of them scoring the touchdown they need down 21-17. Yes, it's easy to play the result and say that since both teams kept scoring, they should have just kicked the PAT... well, who's to assume? Neither team did anything in the third quarter offensively, so it seems reasonable to say that it could have ended up being a game where nobody scored until the final moments. The example I would use would be the 2005 AFC Divisional Game between the Steelers and Colts. The Colts scored and went for two and got it to make it 21-18. In the game's final moments, they had the option of a field goal attempt because they were down only three. Vangerjagt shanked it and the Colts lost, but at least they had that option to work with. And finally, teams are historically around 50-50 on two-point conversion attempts. It's like flipping a fair coin. Let's say heads represents a successful two-point conversion and tails represents a failed try (I'm way over-simplifying here, but I'm using the probabilities to prove a point). So if I flip heads on the first try (50% chance), I win. If I flip a tails and then a heads (25% chance), then I at least break even. The only way to lose is to get back-to-back tails (25% chance). Given the probabilities, it seems as though the odds are stacked in favor of teams going for two in that situation, or at least not against them. Again, your argument makes complete and total sense, but it's really a gamble no matter what you choose.
To be fair, all of this happened in the 4th quarter and the game was basically almost over at this point. They had to go for in case they had a chance to tie the game or the Patriots came back with little time left.
This is my favorite Super Bowl of all time. I’ll never forget watching it as a ten year old kid. I was a huge NFL fan I loved Tom Brady and he was my favorite player but I was the type of kid who appreciated all types of great players, like mushin and Julius peppers even Jake D during that weird season (this one) when he was good. I was rooting for Tom but I enjoyed every minute of this even when the panthers were shining. It was incredible. Always the greatest in my mind.
This was quite the odd game. In the 1st and 3rd quarters both defenses were playing smash mouth, in your face, stone cold nothing allowed football. The 2nd and 4th quarters were just shootouts.
Considering how he played most of the first half and then he threw an int in the end zone when they were about to all but seal the game is say it's an overrated performance
@@confusedbutfriendly9612 I'd say they were at least equally responsible if not the majority. They held delhomme completely off the field while the offense floundered till near the end of the first half. Completely different game if the Panthers are up 14 by that point
I was 11 years old when this super bowl was playing. Had to watch it on mute cause my parents we're sleeping and i sneak to the living room to watch it. Most dramatic game i ever watch
Brady is the only QB in history to win 3 Super Bowls before turning 28. '01, '03, '04 seasons then went 10 years before the 4th ring. The 3 more from age 37-43 CRAZY
The Patriots have played in 9 Super Bowls since bill and of course Brady came to New England. At least 5 of them could be considered the greatest super bowl ever.
Patriots also left six off the board from Vinatieri uncharacteristically missing field goals or this might not have been as close as it was. He came out clutch in the end though.
Kasay's kick out of bounds definitely didn't help matters, but if John Fox didn't chase points early in the 4th when he didn't need to, the Kasay miscue only would've led to OT, given the drives after the Foster TD still happened to the letter
My whole family feel asleep and my uncle left before the game was over. I remember being the only one that stayed and watched this. I was 11 years old and if I’m not mistaken Brady got a car at the end. Glad I watched this legendary SuperBowl. 💯💯💯
Most haters kept saying Brady got bailed by his defense & kicker in SB's. No one would remember that his kicker missed 2 FGs that would've put them in a 6pt lead to end the game & his defense gave up 29pts in this game. This post Brady era is going to hurt but it was a great run. Looking forward to a new era. #GoPats
Most underrated superbowl in history, but frankly, this thing came down to kickers. Patriots kicker shanks 2 easy field goals in the first half which let's the Panthers stay in the fight and ball out, and then even worse, the Panthers kicker shanks a KICKOFF and gives the best QB in the history of the NFL a shortened field with 68 seconds, timeouts or not, Brady is getting the ball into scoring position. I'm usually very sympathetic toward athletes succumbing to pressure in big moments, but it's so pathetic it almost makes me angry that a kicker could shank a kickoff in the final minute of a tied superbowl. That's like shaq missing a dunk on mugsy bogues in game 7 with 2 seconds left down by 1
Besides the game winning drive Brady didn't do a lot against the Rams in SB 36. You can see how much he had grown since that in this game. One of his greatest performances.
@user-xj2ro9cv4j Brady completed that same play 4 previous times in that Superbowl against 4 different defensive fornications that Carolina ran. It was his most successful pass play in the whole 2003 season too. Brady and Branch were machines with that play, and how Carolina couldn't stop at least one of those 5 passes is ridiculous.
If that’s all people remember about the Super Bowl Janet Jackson’s halftime performance then I think that’s sad because they’re not gonna remember who who were playing, who won, or how epic this game was especially in the fourth quarter!
The Patriots v. Rams Super Bowl was the first Super Bowl I ever watched, but this is when I really started to become a super fan. That being said, I can vividly remember feeling sooo bad for the Panthers players at the end of this. I was only 12 years old, but it's something I will never forget.
Super Bowl XXXVI: Ricky Proehl catches the game-tying touchdown for the Rams against the Patriots Super Bowl XXXVIII: Ricky Proehl catches the game-tying touchdown for the Panthers against the Patriots. :(
@@iamarbiter6469 He did actually end up winning 2 SB's at least, first one with the Rams Vs. Titans, another with the Colts a few years later. He was a non-factor in those games though. Somewhere in an alternate reality, Ricky Proehl is remembered as one of the most clutch receivers of all-time!
Go to 2:25 he threw a perfect ball for a td, branch doesn’t get ahold of it, then proceeds to throw a dart for a first down at 10 yard line but receiver drops it. Then vienteri misses his second field goal of the game. People say brady got carried with that end game field goal but yet he put them in position for the kick. Brady 🐐
People want to say that “Brady won 3 rings on Vineteri’s leg” But look at the drive at the end of the first half. 58 seconds right down the field for a touchdown
Only Brady haters say that lol when aaron rodgers leads his team down the field and his kicker wins him the game those same people talk about how amazing he is. Brady is the GOAT
Vinatieri Missed Twice but made the one that counted most, though for what its worth had he made the first two New England might have pulled away with the game much sooner.
The dynamics of the game would have changed. Everything would have been different if he had made the first two. Still it's impressive for any kicker to make a SB winning kick. A tying kick would have much more pressure though.
Most underrated Suepr Bowl of all time. The underdog Wild Card Panthers vs. the Patriots in the early part of their dynasty...with Brady already winning his first SB 2 years previous. High scoring game with big throws & big plays all over the field. The teams matched each other score for score for the most part, with the Patriots barely able to pull ahead at the end of the 4th Quarter to win it by 3 points with a final score of 32-29. The Panthers played well enough to win, and probably should have done so...but John Kasay kicked his final kickoff out of bounds after tying the game 29-29 with just a couple minutes left in the game giving NE a 1st down on the 40 yard line. Brady only had to gain 20 or so Yards to get into Vinateiris range...and he did just that. One of Vinnys most memorable kicks in a legendary career. But the Panthers should have won that one...still bothers me to this day
Bruh 52 was the first time ever in Belichick's and Brady's career that the defense let up 40+ points. Don't insult the Pat's defensive history with Brady. It's disrespectful Everyone says that Brady has had the luck to have great defenses but Pats fans take that as if everyone's calling him Trent Dilfer
The Patriots receivers were wide open the entire game lol. I hope they would win. Those highlights just prove Tom Brady is overrated. Here are his highlights: pass to wide open receiver, wide open receiver, dump pass, dump pass, short pass to wide open receiver, etc.
I played darts during this with a buddy of mine at a house party. We were gambling and doing a lot of ... One of my favorite memories of you little man. Rip jimmy
Tom went off this game and Vinatieri missed two FGS too and made the 39 game winning FG don’t forget on the kasey kick or after there was OPI so they were at the 35 yard line and they still had 9 seconds left to drive further if needed
Most underrated Super Bowl in NFL history
Rowdy Jr. Really must suck living your life as a crybaby
fuck the pats
panthers should’ve won,hope they go against them again and demolish them
Really?! Most people say it's a Top-10 All-Time SB.
@@npatil85 What a mature comment
That Kasay kick going out of bounds pretty much killed it for the Panthers.

I was 13 watching this and totally missed how good Delhomme was. That pass up the seam was fucking gorgeous.
This one started out slow, but BOY did it pick up. One of the most exciting 4th quarters in SB history. It could've went either way.
That’s one of the reason I loved this game. Defense dominated and the offense dominated
Here because of the similarities this year
Steve Smith is the greatest receiver in Panthers history
Easily
Well, yeah. The Panthers don't have any one else to compare him with.
I'm inclined to agree with you
Steve Smith is one of the best receivers of my time tbh. Easily a HoF.
BurtSampson *player
Because they faced off against the Dehlome led panthers, this game gets forgotten. But this is one of the greatest games ever in a SuperBowl. It had offense and defense played at a high level.

@@jacksonpope3955 yea you’re right lol on that
Worst special teams game ever what you talkin about 😂

One of, if not THE greatest super bowl of all time.
Definitely one of the greatest but it's hard to top Patriots vs Seahawks .
Super Bowl XLIX better
What? Did you forget the 25 point comeback in SB 51? That was by far the greatest Super Bowl of all time. Perhaps the greatest game of all time. This is coming from a 49ers fan.
Super Bowls 43 and 49 are better imo
The greatest until that point, yes.
Delhomme BALLED in this game.
Well, kinda. After 17 minutes he had only 1 passing yard.

Remember the Panthers were a run-first team, much like their most recent NFC Championship team was, and they couldn't get the running game going aside from the 2 long ones broken that directly led to 9 of their points.

@@travis8753 Thats a 2pt conversion attempt. It shows in the screen that game is 16-21, they tried to make it a 3pt difference.

John Kasay made sure of that sh*t. The Panthers had won something like 6 Games in OT that year giving them the Nickname the Cardiac Cats. Had we made it to OT. I think the Panthers take the ring!

Pretty clear to see that one of them was blocked, but yes, he did miss *one* short field goal.
Made the one that mattered in the end. That's all anyone will remember.
Rare example when the long snapper matters. The Patriots were on their third or fourth in that game. Lots of missed blocking assignments.

There's a reason why people are now trying to blame Carolina's kicker for kicking it out, like Brady wouldn't have been able to drive it right down the field anyway (he literally did it 2 Super Bowls prior).
@@SmugTomato Completely agree. I was just pointing out that a 'missed' field goal isn't really the same as a 'blocked' field goal (kicking it higher being an irrelevant comment). These haters will literally say anything to soil Brady's unmatched legacy. It's pretty comical stuff likely coming from fans of those franchises that the Patriots have passed with their 20 year run.
@@xXZ3keSt4rXx Yeah, only 25 yards for the kicker that missed a chip shot earlier in the game. Seriously man, just give credit where credit is due. Is was still a very clutch drive by Brady.
@@xXZ3keSt4rXx Weird.
Panthers MLB Dan Morgan (#55) had 22 total tackles (16 Solo), 4 tackles for loss, 3 Pass Break Ups and 2 QB pressures. One of the greatest individual defensive performances in Super Bowl history. He set the NFL record for Total Tackles in a Super Bowl during this game, that record still stands today some 17+ years later. He was seen by the cameras on the sideline puking between his legs on the bench 4-5 times throughout the game, that’s how hard he was going. Dude went all out to the max. He rightfully was voted a Pro Bowler & All-Pro for that season.
Dan Morgan is a Legend 👑.
And now he's the panthers new GM, he deserves it
17 years later and Tom is still balling out and winning chips. Some things never change. GOAT 🐐 🐐 🐐
Stafford retired him.
still being lucky ash too

Criminally underrated game
Our avatars are incredibly similar despite being completely different things.
So sad watching this and already knowing the outcome. Much love for Delhomme.
Thanks for uploading. Cool to see Steve Smith SR playing in the Super Bowl.
Man that Super Bowl 38 logo is so clean…they don’t make ‘em like they used to
Super Bowl 39 is my favorite
37-40 were the GOATs of Super Bowl logos imo 👌
The new logos are awful. They brought out a new idea on super bowl 45 and copied the design, then when super bowl 50 it was even worse. The new ones is just an attempt to bring back originality. "Oh this one's in Los Angeles!" "Oh this one's in Phoenix!" "Oh this one's in Vegas!". Still not original when you're just doing the same thing over and over again. The super bowl 59 logo just sucks. The green doesn't look good. Atleast we can cherrypick who makes it to the super bowl, this year it's the 49ers and the Ravens. Just pray that they go back to pre SB 45 and make original logos for once.
1996-06 so I believe 30-40 are the golden era of SB Logos imo. It’s sad what happened after 45 though. A disgrace.
This is still one of the greatest (and weirdest) games ever played, shame it gets overlooked a bit since so many of the newer Pats SBs have been classics as well.
They weren’t classics. There was nothing classic about watching games you knew the ending
@@chrisuncleahmad666 Wrong. No one predicted that the Seahawks would pass it at the 1-yard line instead of giving it to Marshawn Lynch. No one predicted that the Falcons would build up a 25-point lead and then blow it. No one predicted that SB 53 would be a low-scoring affair instead of a high-scoring affair.
True Pats fans have had it good
@@tevinsherrill5653 1. Everyone could have predicted that, because Seattle did it all season.
2. The Falcons choking could also be predicted, as Brady is called "the Comeback kid", so yes, everything was predictable. Which made it very, very boring.
4:57 Touchdown GRON...wait a minute.
Forgot the pats drafted gronk like 10 years later
You mean David Givens? LMAO! 😂
This was the first NFL game I ever saw and found it amazing! Ever since, I continue watching the Superbowl yet this game has been the most memorable to me. Helped me understand and respect the game☺
I’m not a Pats fan but boy have they played some Super Bowl classics. In my mind the Seahawks vs Patriots Super Bowl will go down as the greatest one ever (mostly because it went back and forth. The Seahawks looked destined to win it the whole way starting in Green Bay and then just ran out of magic at the last possible minute.) The last Super Bowl was okay but if anything the great offense could be attributed to atrocious defense. Seattle and New England both had excellent defenses when they played. Seattle had an all time great defense. The Falcons vs Patriots game was really good too, but it was mostly just watching the Falcons have a complete meltdown at the end lol
Anyways, the Panthers vs Patriots SB could be argued as better than any of those. What a game!
seattles defence was compromised in that game though, sherman thomas and chancellor were all seriously injured but still played, but the play of the game was the jeremy lane broken leg because his backup ended up getting torched on the final drive
I like superbowl 43 better but i can agree that superbowl 49 is up there too because it was a simaler game.
They weren’t classics. Everyone knew New England would win everytime. There was nothing classic about a game where you know what’s gonna happen
@@Jpgoeagles true that Sherman, Thomas, and Chancellor were banged up, but they still had a 10 pt lead going to the 4th.
But one Lane got hurt, Simon got torched and picked on.
Still, dumbest move by Carroll.

One of the best Super Bowls ever. No one talks about it either.

People hate teams that win alot because it's boring and repetitive people get bored of seeing teams win all the time you have to lose sometimes
THE #1 Most Underrated Super Bowl of ALL TIME (in my opinion). At the very least it is the most underrated of the 2000’s. (But myself along with plenty of other fans agree it’s the most underrated of all time). The Tom Brady led pats we’re coming off a pretty dominant season...putting of better stats & a better record than the underdog panthers. The Pats/Brady had just won their 1st Super Bowl just 2 seasons earlier in the 2001-2002 season & we’re back again for the second time in 3 years. The Panthers had a roller coaster of a season...but the “Cardiac Cats” played hard, finishing with a 10-6 record & earning an NFC Wild Card Playoff spot.. They were the underdogs in every playoff game of this postseason...playing every game on the road (against Dallas, the Greatest Show on Turf in St. Louis in triple OT, finally winning the NFC @,Philly.. Led by the 4th overall ranked Defense in the NFL this season the Panthers had a very stout defense led by one of the best D-Lines of all time...w/ Mike Rucker, Brenston Buckner, Julius Peppers & Kris Jenkins...talented LB’s in Morgan & Witherspoon...and a competent Secondary w/ hard hitting safety Mike Minter plus CB Ricky Manning Jr who had a monster postseason run. The offense was led by the 10th ranked O-Line w/ a Rookie Jordan Gross at LT, All-Pro/Pro-Bowl WR’s in Steve Smith & Muhsin Muhammad (plus savvy veterans like Ricky Proehl). Two talented RB’s on hot streaks in veteran Stephen Davis & the younger Deshaun Foster (Davis went over 1,000 Rushing Yards this season & Fostef emerged later in the season/postseason as a talented back...those two combined for nearly 100 Rushing Yards & 1 Rushing TD in this game. QB Jake Delhomme (former backup for the Saints for a couple seasons...and a former NFL-Europe Player...came out of nowhere this season when he replaced starter Rodney Peete during Week 1 vs. Jacksonville...leading us to a last minute victory & leading us to a double-digit win season...he was named an All-Pro/Pro-Bowler this season and would remain our franchise player for a further 7 seasons. Steve Smith, Ricky Proehl, Muhammad & D. foster all scored a TD in this game...Delhomme went off for 323 Passing yards, 3 TD’s & 0 Int’s plus a then-SB record for longest passing TD with an 85 Yarder to Muhammad to tie it up later in the second half. The game was tied at 29 with under 3 minutes to go in the 4th when Panther kicker J. Kasay kicked our kickoff out of bounds...allowing Brady & the Pats offense to start in great field position at their own 40. It was pretty much over once that happened. Took them only 4 plays to run out the remaining time on the clock & to get into decent FG range...which Vinateiri made...giving them a 32-29 win and earning Brady his second SB ring.
Classic game where you shouldn't go for 2 unless you have to. Here's my argument:
When the Panthers scored to make it 21-16, they went for 2, hoping to make it 21-18 (within a FG). They didn't make it. If they would've just kicked it, it would be 21-17.
Panthers score again to go up 22-21 now. In order to be up by a FG, they went for it again and didn't get it. However, if the score was 21-17, the touchdown would've made it 23-21, and kicking it would've made it a FG lead at 24-21, but instead, it's 22-21.
Patriots answer back, making it 27-22. They go for 2 and get it, making the score 29-22 (TD lead). However, if the score was 27-24, it is very unlikely that Belicheck goes for 2 and just kicks the extra point, which would've made the score 28-24, instead of 29-22.
Panthers score late, tying the game at 29. However, if it was 28-24 before they scored, now the score would be 31-28 after they scored. This means that the Patriots would need a FG just to tie, instead of to win.
Even if Vinatiari ties the game up... the game goes into OT. The way the Panthers played in OT that year, it would've been very interesting to see what happens after that... but, instead, the Panthers left points on the board, and we never got to see that "what if" scenario play out.
As a Panthers fan, it's definitely a painful "what if" to think about. However, that being said, I think it's safe to say that whoever would've won the coin toss would've won the game, given how each offense was just picking the opposing defenses to shreds at that point. If the Panthers got it first, they win, especially with the Patriots not having Rodney Harrison in the secondary after he broke his arm. If the Patriots got it first, likewise. Only stop the Panthers got that 4th quarter was really a self-inflicted wound by Brady floating it up for grabs in the end zone that led to the pick.
As a Bears fan John Fox is one of the worst coaches ever when it comes to that stuff but also if the dumbass kicker didn’t kick the kickoff out of bounds I doubt the Pats have enough time to get all the way down the field for a field goal
I understand the logic behind the "just kick it" argument, but the argument the other way would state that if the Panthers did succeed on their first two-point try, they'd have been within a field goal and be in much better shape down only three. Of course, we all know how the math works out once they missed it and if they'd just kicked the PAT (thank you J. A. Greene), but there is good reason in going for two, especially if the game goes scoreless until late.
Say the Patriots maintain the lead in the fourth quarter with neither team scoring, and the Panthers are down 21-18 with less than a minute to go and have, say, a 4th and 12 from the 29-yard line. There is a good chance the field goal goes through to tie the game for the Panthers, and a much lower chance of them scoring the touchdown they need down 21-17.
Yes, it's easy to play the result and say that since both teams kept scoring, they should have just kicked the PAT... well, who's to assume? Neither team did anything in the third quarter offensively, so it seems reasonable to say that it could have ended up being a game where nobody scored until the final moments.
The example I would use would be the 2005 AFC Divisional Game between the Steelers and Colts. The Colts scored and went for two and got it to make it 21-18. In the game's final moments, they had the option of a field goal attempt because they were down only three. Vangerjagt shanked it and the Colts lost, but at least they had that option to work with.
And finally, teams are historically around 50-50 on two-point conversion attempts. It's like flipping a fair coin. Let's say heads represents a successful two-point conversion and tails represents a failed try (I'm way over-simplifying here, but I'm using the probabilities to prove a point). So if I flip heads on the first try (50% chance), I win. If I flip a tails and then a heads (25% chance), then I at least break even. The only way to lose is to get back-to-back tails (25% chance). Given the probabilities, it seems as though the odds are stacked in favor of teams going for two in that situation, or at least not against them.
Again, your argument makes complete and total sense, but it's really a gamble no matter what you choose.
And thaaaaatttsss football....
To be fair, all of this happened in the 4th quarter and the game was basically almost over at this point. They had to go for in case they had a chance to tie the game or the Patriots came back with little time left.
This is my favorite Super Bowl of all time. I’ll never forget watching it as a ten year old kid. I was a huge NFL fan I loved Tom Brady and he was my favorite player but I was the type of kid who appreciated all types of great players, like mushin and Julius peppers even Jake D during that weird season (this one) when he was good. I was rooting for Tom but I enjoyed every minute of this even when the panthers were shining. It was incredible. Always the greatest in my mind.

Not anymore.
Delhomme was an absolute gunslinger 🔥
This game was so underrated
One of the most entertaining super bowls of all time
The Patriots have played in 9 Super Bowls since bill and of course Brady came to New England. At least 5 of them could be considered the greatest super bowl ever.
By pats fan, mainly.
Crazy to think Proehl had two game tying touchdown catches in two different Super Bowls against New England..
Them 4 points we left on two point conversions kill us dam
And the illegal procedure
Patriots also left six off the board from Vinatieri uncharacteristically missing field goals or this might not have been as close as it was. He came out clutch in the end though.
That kick out of bounds still haunts many ppl to this day
That and twice going for two-point conversions and failing both
Everyone knows Scott Norwood, yet few ever mention John Kasay!
Shit crazy my dawg Brady still the 🐐 and getting rings
Desean Foster - That Superman dive to score a touchdown was the reason why I fell in love with football.
I am a panthers fan and this just makes me cry 😢 and I think we should have won but the kicker
Kasay's kick out of bounds definitely didn't help matters, but if John Fox didn't chase points early in the 4th when he didn't need to, the Kasay miscue only would've led to OT, given the drives after the Foster TD still happened to the letter
My whole family feel asleep and my uncle left before the game was over. I remember being the only one that stayed and watched this. I was 11 years old and if I’m not mistaken Brady got a car at the end. Glad I watched this legendary SuperBowl. 💯💯💯
Most haters kept saying Brady got bailed by his defense & kicker in SB's. No one would remember that his kicker missed 2 FGs that would've put them in a 6pt lead to end the game & his defense gave up 29pts in this game.
This post Brady era is going to hurt but it was a great run. Looking forward to a new era. #GoPats
So what’s your justification against the Rams then? #PatsSuck
Most underrated superbowl in history, but frankly, this thing came down to kickers. Patriots kicker shanks 2 easy field goals in the first half which let's the Panthers stay in the fight and ball out, and then even worse, the Panthers kicker shanks a KICKOFF and gives the best QB in the history of the NFL a shortened field with 68 seconds, timeouts or not, Brady is getting the ball into scoring position. I'm usually very sympathetic toward athletes succumbing to pressure in big moments, but it's so pathetic it almost makes me angry that a kicker could shank a kickoff in the final minute of a tied superbowl. That's like shaq missing a dunk on mugsy bogues in game 7 with 2 seconds left down by 1
Broke my heart as a 8th grader. John Kasay lost us that game.

12:05 what a clutch and underrated throw. If Goat doesn't complete that, Pats probably don't make It into fg range.
He was wide open. Not that impressive.
@user-xj2ro9cv4j Brady completed that same play 4 previous times in that Superbowl against 4 different defensive fornications that Carolina ran. It was his most successful pass play in the whole 2003 season too.
Brady and Branch were machines with that play, and how Carolina couldn't stop at least one of those 5 passes is ridiculous.
If that’s all people remember about the Super Bowl Janet Jackson’s halftime performance then I think that’s sad because they’re not gonna remember who who were playing, who won, or how epic this game was especially in the fourth quarter!
Hard to believe it's been 20 years since this game was played.
The Patriots v. Rams Super Bowl was the first Super Bowl I ever watched, but this is when I really started to become a super fan. That being said, I can vividly remember feeling sooo bad for the Panthers players at the end of this. I was only 12 years old, but it's something I will never forget.

This!!
The Kasay kick will haunt me until the end of my days.
Vinatieri Missed Twice but made the one that counted most, though for what its worth had he made the first two New England might have pulled away with the game much sooner.
The dynamics of the game would have changed. Everything would have been different if he had made the first two. Still it's impressive for any kicker to make a SB winning kick. A tying kick would have much more pressure though.
Brady was definitely the reason the patriots won them rings. The amount of focus, precision and time management he had was insane
One of Brady's finest performances.
1 of the greatest SB.
7:16 how high up in the air was steve smith oO
Most underrated Suepr Bowl of all time. The underdog Wild Card Panthers vs. the Patriots in the early part of their dynasty...with Brady already winning his first SB 2 years previous. High scoring game with big throws & big plays all over the field. The teams matched each other score for score for the most part, with the Patriots barely able to pull ahead at the end of the 4th Quarter to win it by 3 points with a final score of 32-29. The Panthers played well enough to win, and probably should have done so...but John Kasay kicked his final kickoff out of bounds after tying the game 29-29 with just a couple minutes left in the game giving NE a 1st down on the 40 yard line. Brady only had to gain 20 or so Yards to get into Vinateiris range...and he did just that. One of Vinnys most memorable kicks in a legendary career. But the Panthers should have won that one...still bothers me to this day
All Facts
This video is for the uneducated who think Brady was carried by his defenses in SBs
Bruh 52 was the first time ever in Belichick's and Brady's career that the defense let up 40+ points. Don't insult the Pat's defensive history with Brady. It's disrespectful

Tom went off this game and Vinatieri missed two FGS too and made the 39 game winning FG don’t forget on the kasey kick or after there was OPI so they were at the 35 yard line and they still had 9 seconds left to drive further if needed
