Your most memorable all-time Patriots regular season game?

Giants game 2007, that last bomb to Randy where both QB and WR broke records and we ended the Regular season perfect...I tore up my neighbor's family room...and scared the neighborhood after I ran outside...

My all time favorite was Pats v. Miami in October, 2003. We hadn't won in Miami in forever. Field still had baseball field underneath. Missed FGs by Miami at the end of regulation AND in OT. And then, the 82 yard BOMB to Troy Brown to win the game!! My husband was in Vegas and my Mom (God rest her soul) had spent the weekend with me to help me with the kids. I was jumping around the room and screaming my head off and my Mom told me I was scaring her


The Butt Fumble game on Thanksgiving, 2012 is a close second.

Man, that throw to Brown was just perfect. Brady throws some beauties throughout the years, but that one and the one to Branch against the Steelers in the 2004 AFCCG were some of the greatest passes ever, hitting the receiver right in stride for long bombs. Could watch Brady highlights 24/7.

Funny thing is, they ran the SAME exact play, the play before that, and didn’t connect (either Randy dropped it or it was a tad off target, can’t remember).

You're right, it was back to back identical calls which I couldn't believe and the second call somehow worked...

Nov 6, 1964. Pats beat the Houston Oilers 25-24 when Gino Cappelletti kicked a 42 yard field goal just as time ran out. I was at Fenway Park for the game.

My favorite one was when Brady tossed five in one quarter

The "unicorn, show ponies" game

Good call on this one. Can't understand why I left this game off my list.

I was at this game. Sweltering heat and humidity. So oppressive that nobody had any desire to drink beer, this was a strictly water for hydration relief day (that is, until after the game). Game seemingly lost twice, with two short Miami missed field goals from the baseball infield that would have ended it. I had a great view of the final play, with Troy catching the ball on my side of the stadium, directly below my seats. Good times...

So many to choose from. Indy fake punt gm. Colts trying to trick pats and embarrasing themselves. Rewound that play 10 times

Butt-fumble game. Left Logan for Las Vegas just as the game was getting underway. Nearly every tv on the plane was tuned into this game. I don't think the guy in front of me was a Pats (or football) fan. Three TD's in what, 58 seconds..... It got very loud in the skies that instant!

It's near-impossible to pick and choose from seeing so many great games in person. But, one memorable one that sticks out for me was the last home game of the '93 season vs. Miami when Drew Bledsoe threw a winning 36-yard touchdown pass to Michael Timpson in overtime, knocking the Dolphins out of the playoffs. The 33-27 win was the 5-11 Patriots' fourth straight and came at a time of concern about Orthwein possibly moving the team to St. Louis. Weeks later it was announced that Kraft assumed ownership.

my favorites have been mentioned, except for the Patriots game in the snow against the Chicago Bears at Soldier Field on Sunday, December 12, 2010.

36-7 beatdown, many big plays, blinding snow, Brady slinging it, Cutler unable to do ANYTHING, supposedly "Bears weather" LOL

We have been blessed with so many wins that it's tough to say what happened in the game that made it stand out. So usually what makes something more memorable to me is what happened beyond the field...

Contested: Tie between the 2002 Bears game and the 2003 Colts game. I watched both at a bar. For the Bears game, the game winning drive featured a handful of unbelievable plays, had two replay reviews and about 100 "holy ****!" exclamations from my stunned surroundings. The overturned Brady turnover was one of those ASJ- or Tuck Rule-like calls where the ref indeed got it right, but damn it was close to going the other way. I almost left the bar since the Bears were so close to snapping the ball before the refs stopped everything for a review. Later, when Patten's toe-drag winner was confirmed by review, even the huge contingent of Raiders fans were shaking their heads smiling, amazed at what transpired.

For the Colts game, that same bar was full of Raiders fans dying to see the Pats lose. The furious 2nd half comeback by the Colts made me feel like I was in the Hoosier Dome. When the Colts had 1st and goal at the end, the place was electric. For 3 downs, I quietly watched as the crowd went "yeaaahh...awwww" as each attempt got stopped. On 4th down, the place was even louder.

Manning hands off.

"Yeaaahhhh...

McGinest with the stuff.

"... (crickets)"

"YEAHHHHHHHHH!!!"

That last line was me and one other Pats fan in the bar, causing people to turn and see who was the low-life Pats fan in their midst before turning away in disgust. Would have made an awesome YouTube reaction video back then.

Blowout: I attended the rain-soaked 2008 win in Oakland. Raiders fans were still bitter over 1/19/2002 so getting amped up when the Pats came to town was no problem. The place was dead by the end of the 1st quarter. The play of Purple Drank Russell got the fans to focus their energy on him instead and then the rain washed away what little energy was left. Most fans left by halftime. I live here. I'm dating a die hard Raiders fan from a family of die hards (side note: this Sunday's party at her sisters house will be fun). I know the sports hate in Raiders fans hearts over everything Patriots. I knew this in 2008 as well. Seeing that crowd have the life sucked out of them was incredible. But that's what Tom Brady...err, Matt Cassel can do to a fan base.

Regards,
Chris

16-0 Giants game

The Indy win in 2003 gets my vote, it was a great game, not just the ending. I remember that just before halftime we returned a kickoff for a TD ! Also I was there so it makes it more memorable for me !

was at the game when the goal post was knocked down and passed up the stands and thrown out of the stadium. Believe it was against Cinn, 1985?? ... someone took a 4th and 1 the distance to seal the win. We stormed the field.

About 55 yards in the air on that throw, and great protection for Brady.

Definitely the most remembered for me was the Broncos game where Pats got down 21 points early, took the lead, only to have Manning tie, then take the wind and have Welker muff the punt to loose the game in OT.

It's probably one of Matt Chatham's favorite games too.
