Love this episode. Sure brings back great memories. I remember Brady trotting out on to the field and after one series thinking "My God, he's better" just from the pocket presense.

LOL@ Brady in regards to the Miami game " We didn't do ****"...lol..love him!

And the Jets winning their game against the Raiders to get us a home game vs that team (Tuck rule game).

so sweet of them.

not to derail the thread, but all of the America's games are readily available on Hulu for free if anyone wants to watch any of them.

The Tuck game I will never forget...

I was 20 years old going to University in TO, my Girlfriend at the time was going to Western 3hours down the road.

I went to see her that weekend, and we and all her girlfriends(How bad does it suck being the only dude out with your girlfriend, girlfriends? ugh) went out to bar hop that night. But I ended losing her at the first bar to watch that game at the first bar. Let's just say there was a lot of getting yelled at that night, and me with a stupid grin while I was getting yelled at...

Also was the night I became a Huge Brady fan. I was a huge Drew Bledsoe fan. He was up there with Doug Gilmour(Leafs) and Devon White(Jays) for me..

Crazy, crazy year....

This is my favorite 'America's Game' by far. It was almost like a scripted movie.

The QB Coach before the season, 9/11, Drew Bledsoe, Tom Brady, the slow start, picking up steam and winning the final 6 games, the Jets giving us a 1st round bye and a home game, Tuck Rule in a blizzard, BB's motivational speech involving the Steelers bags packed for New Orleans, ...and then SB 36. The Patriots are the spotlight of the entire world a few months after 9/11 happened, the best halftime performance in SB history, and then winning it all on that final drive.

Actually, come to think of it, you couldn't write a movie script that good.

yep, and in contrast, I didn't like the 2004 'America's game' as much as the others. I feel like it lacked substance in comparison and they were trying to prove something to critics who hated them. But then again, I wasn't around to witness any of this during the moment so I have different interpretation as opposed to everyone who were football fans 2001-2004.

If there's a god, please let us win just one more. I'm going to ball like a baby if this team does it.

 

[RelocatedPatFan]

That was good like a cold beer on a hot hot day. Like the looks on your friends faces when you leave with the "hot" chick good.

 

[BAM!]

I still get goosebumps when gino makes that call after vinateri's game winning field goal. Oh and vinateri, from your mouth to God's ears. Chilling contrast really.

 

[Wax Frog]

It doesn't seem all that long ago, yet it's a shock now to see BB and TB's baby faces...

I love this one. But too be honest all those have gotten old (they never will haha), we need new ones, like say 2011 New England Patriots (fingers crossed).
