Just a heads-up: wall-to-wall classic Patriots games, docs, etc. starts Monday at 2 pm ET with Super Bowl XXXVI. You're welcome.
Dan to Theo to Ben said:Good news, thanks BH. I hope they have the Saints game. My DVR erased it as I went over the limit accidentally.
Actually, a lot of Rams fans and other non-Pats partisans said at the time and in the aftermath of the game that Vrabel had roughed Warner on that play.Kliq said:Watching the first SB win right now. It was only 12 years ago but I still can't believe the differences in the game from then to now, especially from a safety standpoint. The amount of hits that would be considered late hits on defenseless receivers is crazy. On the Law pick-six, Vrabel clearly wacks Warner on the head, and nobody thinks anything of it.

There is a play during that season where Brady gets hit by a Bills player that was completely legal then and might draw a multi game suspension today.Kliq said:Watching the first SB win right now.

Haha - I was thinking the same exact thing.BigSoxFan said:I still can't believe Otis Smith didn't return that 3rd quarter INT for a TD. He had like 4 blockers and only Warner to beat.

dynomite said:Pats/Rams: How do people not talk more about this Super Bowl? Both teams scored within the last 2 minutes of the 4th Quarter. And, as others said, it's still almost impossible to believe that a scrawny, green Brady led a game winning SB drive with :40 left and no timeouts.
Pats/Panthers: Jermaine Wiggins played for Carolina in this game!? And that 4th Quarter was heart stopping, even on replay.
Pats/Eagles: McNabb took the heat, but Brady won this game. So many clutch reads and throws against a solid defense.
"He did nothing in that game." Mike FrancesaProdigal Sox said:What Tom Brady did still gives me goosebumps.
I watched this last night on DVR and it's probably the first time I've seen it in a full broadcast since 2001. The Pats D should have had about 15 turnovers in this game. The number of dropped / out of bounds picks is crazy.BigSoxFan said:I still can't believe Otis Smith didn't return that 3rd quarter INT for a TD. He had like 4 blockers and only Warner to beat.
I'm half-convinced Brady's high ankle sprain in that game (4q?) was a pretty big factor in the 19th game of that year.RedOctober3829 said:AFC title game from 07 is on.
I don't remember there being much time to think about it. Once the drive got started with the pass to Redmond, there was barely time to breathe.MoGator71 said:I'd sort of forgotten all about the '06 playoff game @ 14-2 San Diego, I guess what happened the next week kind of overshadowed it. But how that game isn't remembered for the epic pants-shitting by the Chargers is beyond me. Just stupidity all over the field. Obviously credit to the Pats for taking advantage, but that was brutal.
Also, did anyone want Brady to take a knee and go to OT vs. the Rams? I know I didn't, not even a little bit.
It was a broken foot, I believe, not an ankle sprain.bankshot1 said:I'm half-convinced Brady's high ankle sprain in that game (4q?) was a pretty big factor in the 19th game of that year.
At the time I think it was reported as a high-ankle sprain. But who knows what it really was?. But whatever it was I think it had an impact on the game. Although on the bright side a bunch of kids in the jungles of South america got some great T-shirts.Ed Hillel said:It was a broken foot, I believe, not an ankle sprain.
