Bledsoe was better than Brady at this point in their careers, Drew's injury is the only reason Tom became the starter

​@@SnoopyReads... 😂 kid tom was better they just didn't know it yet 😂 he won 6 rings with the pats .. how many did drew have? Exactly 💯

​@@sukmynutFACTS.

@@SnoopyReads Who's debating that point?...

@@SnoopyReadsThey would have gone 5-11 that year if Drew hadn’t gotten hurt. I loved Drew, but the Pats were abysmal for the game and a half he played that year. He could make throws that Brady couldn’t, absolutely. But, this offense was geared towards quick passes, play action and screens, which Brady was much better at selling. They never had much luck with any of that through Drew’s career. Drew was immense in this game, no doubt.

Drew was a solid QB himself

I’ve always considered this Bledsoe’s goodbye to all of us NE fans.

Bledsoe continued the drive Brady began and orchestrated the Patriots ONLY offensive touchdown. The Patriots offense did not score in the 2nd half

@@Rocksteddybelmont So Randy Moss and Josh Gordon Never Existed ? Lmao

Played pretty good db too.all-time great patriot.

My favorite Patriot

Mehoy Minyoy he went 10-21 with just 100 yards and almost a pick six. He barely survived. Brady went 12-18 with 115 in less time than Bledsoe. Without Brady putting Bledsoe in good position to get a td,the special teams td, dropped pick six And 4th qtr turnovers it’s over. Steelers complete the comeback. This is definitely why Belichick went with Brady in the Super Bowl.

Mehoy Minyoy But he did do enough I guess. If they started the game with him they definitely would’ve lost.

Brotato Chip Don’t forget this was the #1 defense in the NFL they were playing against, back then that meant you had to win through other means than just offense. Bledsoe didn’t have his best game as you pointed out with the stats, but he got the yardage and touchdown that he needed to win the game. It was him ending his time in New England on a high note.

@@waffles5433 special teams really propelled the Pat's. Touchdown on that blocked kick in the second half proved to be more of the difference. I feel if bill had a chance to replay that game, he would have put Brady back in. Looking back it this game, honestly, the Pat's won this game because of Stewart and special teams. Pats should have closed the game out offensively in the second half but couldnt for whatever reason. I dont think it was necessarily because the Steelers had a number 1 defense. Looked more like patriot self inflicted mistakes that let the Steelers stay in the game. Then Stewart being the awful qb he was gifted the Pat's with two ints they hardly had to work for.

Didn't he play DB and pick off manning?

Yeah, that lateral was beautiful.

Ball left his hands at the 50 and was caught at the 43. Forward lateral.

you're right this is when there was no such rule for spygate... didn’t become a thing until 2006... know your facts

you're right thanks for telling me the dolphins suck I had no idea. Doesn’t change the fact the patriots have owned the AFC, Steelers included.

"That Troy Brown"? Really?? TB was an amazing WR for the Patriots. They wouldn't have done all of what they did without him.

@@Brandon-rq3ys He was pretty average as a WR, only had one 1,000 yard season in his career, they wouldn't have done those amazing things without his other contributions more than a WR.

my fav patriots receiver ever !!!! the original TB #GoPats

submissivelover exactly how submissive?

Humble Rumble yes he did!

Everyone gets a trophy.

Kind of...

I agree. I was so glad he got a chance to play and truly contribute on that run. Imagine being Pittsburgh. "Wait, their BACKUP is Bledsoe?"

Carson Wentz liked this.

No one gives imporrtance to all 3 phases like BB does...

Yup. It's why Brady's not the goat. He's a great QB who always has a finely prepared team every week, thanks to the brilliant Bill Belichick. How many times has Brady faced a great team, struggled mightily, and been bailed out by his defense and special teams. TB12 doesn't win all these games outside of New England. How can people not see that.

Yep! That's a Belichick staple of football. Great special teams.

The defense two cmon 2 int 4 quarter

@@pnwguy00 And you look like a clown. Brady is top 5 in passing yards and TD's playing in TB. GOAT.

Mo lewis my dude.

It’s not even close to identical 😂

@@teddybear1792 it was pretty close, literally pretty much the same thing. This game he was hit on the side, Mo Lewis drilled him in the chest plate with his helmet.

That was no coincidence

Drew was bleeding internally, which is why he thought he could still play. It's later that he and everyone realized how serious his injury were. The man had three liters of blood in his abdomen and chest. He could've easily died.

@@spacepioneer4070 Wow, didn't know this.

every Rugby player ever: I would of played the rest of the game even if that happened in the 1st minute and considering the amount of Rugby players who played on with broken arms and legs the fact he left the game shows the weakness of American Football players.

@@daveross1638 wow I bet you're a super tough guy, that comment was so bad-ass bro.

@@daveross1638 man was literally dying if he didn’t get out of the game. Lmao you have to be joking right?

he was good, not special and not close to underrated

For me its that he ended up playing in all 3 phases in the playoffs. Who else can say that? One of the most multitalented football players ever.

Wrong ! Troy never fumbled and he could play DB, return Punts, return kicks and play WR.

Yup I been a patriot since Curtis Martin was there.

@@THOMASBS6 Yup, great team, Drew, Martin, Coates, and Glenn... exciting times

"Back into winning"? They totally sucked until they picked up Parcells and actually put some money into the franchise. Hell, even in 1985 when they went to the S.B. I had to listen to them on AM radio all season long because they couldn't sell out Sullivan Stadium. Don't get me wrong, I was happy for Grogan and the rest of the guy, but let's be real.... They had zero business being on the field against the 1985 Chicago Bears.

@@erikgour3475 To be fair, apart from maybe the Rams...nobody belonged on the field with the Bears that year. They were the original one year wonders like the 2013 Seahawks. It wasn't until Joe Gibbs figured out how to beat the 46 a year later (and McMahon being out helped) that their reign of terror ended. The Patriots beating Miami in Miami and denying Shula one final SB appearance was the real Superbowl.

I don't blame that loss on slash...I blame it on the block fg/ forward lateral or troy Edwards running out of bounds untouched in which the 1 punt was on the left hash Mark and the 2nd kick the refs move it to the right hash Mark..and the fact that we started the bus who was coming back from injury...famous amos should of gotten every touch but on goal line plays..

Petey huh? Ben was a sophomore in college during this game lmao

#10 was "playing for the other team", and I don't mean football...

brypete 1021 who tf is slash I know it ain’t Stewart cuz he don’t deserve a nickname like that

TheLocalLt hence why he said if he was a little older.

Plexiglass was ASS back then.

Brad- The Patriots play in the weakest division in the NFL which is why they were always the top seed during their run. But to be fair, they always had good players. Credit to their organization for their ability to properly evaluate talent.

6 SBs baby!!, should be 10.

@Jay D HA!! #7 BABY!!! #7!!!

You forgot cheaters are disqualified. Trash.

I was at the good time Emporium in Somerville watching this game with a huge crowd. The crowd went berserk!

Well Drew Bledsoe was just a game manager the whole game while Troy brown scored 2 special teams touchdowns to beat us. He literally beat us almost single handedly smh 🤦🏽‍♂️

Without Walt Coleman, the Patriots never make it to Pittsburgh. Brady fumbled!

this is actually 02

The refs threw flags all over the field after the Patriots went up 21-3 to get the Steelers back in it

Yeah, cheating to acomplish it. This POS organization is shit stained just like a Kraft night out after getting his knob sucked.

@@psusuxcox why you mad? you salty that the steelers are no longer alone at the top of the most super bowl wins? lol #gopats!!!! Brady >>>> Steelers!

@@psusuxcox Guy. Stewart INT's were all ducks. You could of picked those off.

@@1990Thunderbolt pats aren’t doing so well nowadays

3 defensive touchdowns means 3 possessions were taken away from the pats offense

Seems like the greatest dinasty in football history started doing very few things on the offence and great things on the defence. But then Brady showed what he is like. And don't forget that winners are always lucky when they need to be lucky.

and Brady got a TD in the SB and lead the game winning drive.. You're point? This was the "Old Era" not todays pass happy era.. People either forget or choose to ignore the fact this Run spans over 2 different era's of footballs.. first 3 SBs were in the old era and the last 2 in the new era..

@@robertsnell9404 All Brady did was make dump off passes to the running back on that drive. The defense was the real reason they won.

@@mgtowskeptic5201 Try Again! Brady hit Brown on crossing pattern that basically put them in field goal range.. I swear Brady haters suffer from selective memory.. lol Further more! it was a 50 yard Superbowl winning drive with a little over a min to go and no TO's..

@@Ryan-zt2xw Add Peyton in there too and it's 10-9 lol

well stewart was the final.nail

Kevin Stewart Bill Cowher was a underachiever to be honest. Had two chances in the AFC title games in 2001 and 2004 and failed miserably

Umm...I hope you're just talking about after the Steel Curtain, unless they only had home field during one of those AFC championship games in the 70's.

Tyler Larsen the 1-4 record was during the Bill Cowher regime. My bad I didn’t clarify that.

100spurs lets not forget 1994 and 1997 also. The Chargers game may have been the biggest let down.

to be fair, PItts had Kordell Stewart as the starting QB..with how he played it was a miracle they were even in the playoffs

yeah bledsoe had better arm than brady, thats why brady went drafted in the 6th round for a reason at the very last pcik, everyone's critique on him is kind of like yours, that he is not very talented at all and is not athletic and has no arm, thats how teams viewed brady when looking at the draftee guys, he was even meant to be 3rd string qb guy

yep

Sthwu

@Tyler G when it's scripted he does

Super bowl 36 was

Tyler G this was a beginning of a legendary journey for brady. he didn't do much in this game but provide some big plays in the passing game

If you watch the America's Game on the 2001 Patriots they mention it I believe. Same play. Really shows how great Charlie Weis was.

Ace Tipton same play except the SB one was from under center offset instead of shotgun offset

@@TheLocalLt yeah that's what made Weis great. Just little detail changes that in the scheme of things don't matter all too much, but the guys upstairs dont recognize it from old film and can't call it out til it's too late.

Ace Tipton yep the key to the pats offense even post-weis is that they run the same 5 or 6 plays but from all different formations. Everyone on the field has to be able to perform any of the jobs because the Pats will call the same play from 23 personnel as they will from 01 or 00 personnel. This is why Chad Ochocinco couldn’t fit in the Patriots offense, he wasn’t good at any of the positions besides Z. On the Pats you need to be able to play Z, Y, X, TE, FB, HB. Every player needs to know and be able to perform with at least basic adequacy each of these positions, the most important being HB/FBs and WRs needing to be able to to run Z, Y, X, and TE routes from both out wide and out of the backfield

@@TheLocalLt agreed. That's why guys even recently like James White and Cordarrelle Patterson (among MANY others) have had such sudden success with the Pats

Being 23 years old is my guess.

He did nothing the whole game

What are you on hes just a system qb

System qb with help from cheating coach and owner ohh ya and commissioner is best friends with the owner. . .

More like 4-5 times

2004 the Patriots went to max protection

No...BELICHICK had to exist. Belichick shuts down the Steelers offense almost every time they play. Brady doesn't win these games without Belichick. That's not even debatable.

Got to give a lot of credit to Bledsoe in this game for coming in and providing another scoring drive and making plays too.

@@pnwguy00 Anthony, Brady is the GOAT. So says all of his NFL peers, including HOF QBs like Jim Kelly, Fran Tarkenton and Joe Theisman. You'll just have to deal with that reality.

I was 8 months old when this happened, and me being a Steelers fan, it’s a good thing I was way too young to remember this but it still hurts 😖

yeah true, brady was meant to be 3rd string

Ddawg... What did it cost?

ddawgg23 even so is still difficult to face NE

When you say "OUR biggest nightmare" do you mean the entire league?!?! (Besides Eli Manning of course, lol). It feels like every fan base outside of New England is just holdings their breaths until Brady fucking retires, lol. I can't fucking stand the guy (I am a life long Chargers fan), but there is no denying his absolute dominance of the league the last 2 decades. I can't fucking wait for the day when Brady gives the retirement press conference just so the rest of the league can finally stand a chance at a championship because until he's retired he is going to keep crushing the dreams of at least the rest of the A.F.C. because it feels like every single year the AFC championship is the Pats beating whichever team that makes it out of the divisional round. This is his 9th straight AFC championship appearance and I personally don't think Andy Reid and Pat Mahomes stand a chance of beating the Pats this weekend, so it's going to be the Pats vs either the Rams or Saints, and I think the Saints are going to take care of the Rams on Sunday, setting up a Brady vs. Brees super bowl, which will be one of the all time greatest super Bowls ever.
