2007 Patriots: GREATEST Team to Not Win Super Bowl! | Legendary Teams 

I guess the only thing keeping them from doing that is costs

Been asking this for years

The old maddens had this. EA is just greedy as hell and since no one else has the nfl liscence. They can do whatever

Yea even if they had some bad team like the 17 browns and the 2008 lions i would love to play with the 2010 chargers (not a chargers fan )

Madden needs that badly like teams I would use are the 2007 Patriots,1998 Vikings,2000 Ravens,1985 Bears,2013 Denver Broncos

Can u pls check out my lamar jackson highlights video.

DUDDEE he was the reason we gave Eli Manning a second chance

Why do you think he was cut? That "pounding the chest my bad" cost us perfection. Few other things too. Not just Asante. I'm gonna vomit.

MrTUBEular10 people also forget the pats gave up a 4th down earlier in the drive

Yup that team was so great.

They had Ben Watson though

@@richardtate8621 Waston is great. But prime Gronk is arguably the best tight end ever. That’s what I mean. Dude was a freak of nature.

they would have crushed the giants then. Everyone was so afraid of moss that gronk would have ate teams alive you have to double both those guys.

@@michaelniczky4261 Moss Wlker and Gronk were on the same team but bill traded moss.

@@michaelniczky4261 he could have been had they figured it out that 2010 went 14-2 it was a very young team. Moss would have had to be singled coverd the entire time because hernandez, welker and gronk would eat the middle of the field. He would not be as good as he was in 07 but he could have been very effective because in 07 he was double and triple coverd. In 2010 or 2011 he would have to be one on one

Until the playoffs start.

@@xaviervega468 stuff happens the pressure gets to be too much to the point where things begin to crumble

@@xaviervega468lmao. they won both of their playoff games with no problem. he had less than 8 targets in 2 games and sat the 2nd half cuz they were on their way to the super bowl.😂

Their Defense gave a lot of points in most of those highlights

Still the #4 defense in the NFL that year

Everyone thought Moss was done after his stint on the Raiders (including me) so his draft stock was very low. I picked him late in the draft for the hell of it. Got Brady early in the draft, and my other picks were solid too. Needless to say I dominated that league and won the championship.

I remember picking up moss in a later round of the same league that I got Larry Fitzgerald. I kinda dominated

Brady had 406.4 fantasy points, Moss had 336.3 fantasy points

FR

And losing because they baited you with a decoy grenade 😅

Nah it’s like getting your first 30 bomb and you lose to someone who has 1 kill

@@adrianslesarchuk4886 okay u win

@@rnfl4089 lol

That last drive was a miracle to be honest, too many things happened within those few plays that don't usually happen over a whole game. I'm a pats fan but the football gods just didn't want 19-0 I guess.

@@fromulus absolutely. The Brandon Jacobs 4th and 1 rush to keep it going. The Asante Samuel near-pick. The Tyree catch. There was an oddball play where Eli threw to Tyree and it went through his hands, then was nearly picked off by a Patriot defender but fell incomplete. Eli got tackled trying to run and appeared to fumble but he was already down. He found Steve Smith on 3rd and 11 on the sideline all leading up to the Plaxico TD after he beat Ellis Hobbs. Plaxico who's ankle and knee were badly injured still had that last double move in him. Even after that, Brady threw deep to Moss on 3rd and 4th down and we had to hold our breath both times. The first time the pass was on target but Cory Webster went stride for stride with Moss and broke up the pass with an outstretched fingertip. If Moss catches either one of those, New England can tie the game with a field goal and force OT. It is just amazing how many things went right for the Giants in those final 2 plus minutes for them to win.

A lot of things came together perfectly for the NYG...They didnt really have a great run defense but the Pats didnt really have a great rb-the07Pats running game depended upon being able to exploit defenses that had to overcompensate to cover the Pats WRs...The NYG def line was stocked wth great passs rushers they could get to Brady and did so consistently without using a 5th guy, Moss was rarely if ever given enough time to get downfield and with the Pats running game having nothing to exploit they were able to continually switch and mask their coverages as well as mix how they did so in order keep Tom guessing until well after the snap...The Pats needed to adjust sooner to the fact that they werent getting enough time to find Moss deep and utilize him in their short passing game earlier than they ended up deciding to... The Patriots werent competing merely against the NYG...they were competing against history and the league in a way they never had to even while defending back2back SB championships because outside of NE the entire nation if not world was at that point more united than at any point in time during the entire Brady/Belichick era in its hatred of and its desire to defeat them as that season wore on...They were not the same team by the time they got thru December let alone to the SB-they no longer had S.Morris or R.Colvin, Stallworth had lost his job to Gaffney...Vrabel had been playing the best football of his career througout the majority of the reg season, had been in DPOY discussions, but his play declined significantly once he suffered a shoulder injury against the Steelers...Their starting LT Nick Kazcur had suffered some injuries since joining the league, gotten self addicted to illegal painkillers/etc and gotten himself busted a month or so before the SB...He was essentially playing that postseason in pain and while going thru opiate withdrawals...Brady spent the weeks leading up to S42 in a walking boot after suffering a high ankle sprain in the AFCCG, and altho he played thru it he also broke the navicular bone in his foot during SB42 as well. The 2007 Pats were as good as any team Ive ever seen...Brady has never played better...They just didnt have lady luck on their side.

"We" what number were you?

@@HeCute_ sheesh, let a guy on a sports page be a sports fan, will ya?

It was about one catch

Ah yes a GREY lesson indeed

looks like brady's buc ran that same grey lesson back again to learn us all once more.

@@deadmilkman121 yep

They got to within minutes of winning the super bowl it’s not like they got blown out

Eli is bradys dad

@@sirhoopalot1125 that’s why brady’s still playing and winning super bowls and eli gets to watch games the games 😂😂😂

To Eli and the Giants twice at that. Brady really only lost to the NFC East.

And the E A G L E S EAGLES!!

@@mrmangotahiti what a stupid comment

Same here, straight trauma.Unfortunatly I sorta stopped watching football for a while, tried Rugby.This was rigged.

@@Iveyenahs How can you say it was rigged when the Giants won due to that improbable helmet catch? Lol

​@@Iveyenahs coping

Giants fan here. One of the thrills of my life. However I could definitely understand the pain for Pats fans even though they had won 3 rings by then. I thought of it like this. As a kid, I used to play Madden and later NFL Quarterback Club, NFL Blitz etc. How many of us as kids would play a full NFL season with our team and try to go undefeated and win the Super Bowl? And if you appear to be losing one game, what do you do? You reset the game. You hope it doesn't come to that, but if it gets too close, you likely will do that before the CPU saves your one loss. If you get to the Super Bowl undefeated and you lose a close game in the final seconds and for whatever reason, you can't hit reset fast enough and can't reverse it, think of all the time, effort and work you put into making this dream a reality all ruined. I'd be absolutely beside myself. Now raise the stakes. Make it your favorite team actually doing this in real life. You've watched every minute of every game in absolute awe of their greatness. It's Brady to Moss, the greatest QB ever to the greatest WR ever, breaking records left and right, with a killer defense. Several of their regular season victories (Colts, Ravens, Eagles, Giants) were quite inspiring and appeared to show they had the toughness to overcome anything. And have them lose the Super Bowl in the final minute. They had the Giants down to a 4th down and 1, down to several near INTs, a near 4th and long if Eli gets sacked on the Tyree play, a 3rd and 11, and a near Randy Moss deep ball that would have saved the day. It was all so tantalizingly close to happening. And there's NO RESET BUTTON. You have to just swallow that forever. Greatest team ever, for what? I'd lose my damn mind.

Same. I cried like b!tch

Adalius Thomas was a beast and still surprised Lawrence Maroney wasn't better

Well it’s an incredible feat no lie but to go 16-0 in the regular season just to lose in the SB is kinda embarrassing if you gonna go undefeated in the regular season then you have to win the SB at that point bro lol that’s why I wouldnt recommend my team going undefeated it be nice but it’s too much pressure and you have to win it all at that point if you don’t then what was the point in going undefeated in the first place you know

Na minha opinião, a derrota dos Patriots no Super Bowl 42 foi a maior derrota de uma equipe na história do esporte pelo que estava em jogo! In my opinion, the loss of the Patriots in Super Bowl 42 was the biggest loss by a team in the history of the sport for what was at stake! (translated to english)

@@darian6485 Lol that's like saying what's the point of winning a Super Bowl if you don't win 6 Super Bowls. Exactly 32 teams in the NFL would love to go 17-0, even if that meant losing in the playoffs. I don't care what you want, your team that actually plays, will love to go 17-0. Because no one else can say that they've done that.

Well said

I never thought of that....

The best record in all of the big 4 american sports have all come short of winning it all (07 pats, 96 red wings, 16 warriors, 01 mariners) red wings and mariners didnt even make the big game

@@andrewhorowitz4448that’s even more embarrassing since they blew a 3-1 lead in the first round of the playoffs

Don't forget Junior Seau.

If you don’t win the Super Bowl you will be forgotten, that’s just how it is. No matter how good you are, if you can’t win the big game you’re not going to go down as one of the best

​@@grottyband8052 the 07 pats were ranked the 7th best team of all time by nfl network sooo, no. These pats will be remembered until another team manages to go 16-0. They will continue to be remembered every year other teams try going undefeated during the regular season

@@Tazer183 fair

@@Tazer183 Well said. They are perfectly rated. They are almost more immortal for losing if no other team gets close in the salary cap era--like a Greek/Shakesperean sports tragedy for the ages.

Only four short years later, they pulled off the unthinkable again, and, they would beat them in the regular season, too, for good measure.

@@matthewdaley746 yes and only lost by 3 in the regular season it wasn't even unthinkable if you looked at it because you can say that the giants choked the regular season game

2020 bucs>2007 patriots

89 Niners r the best team I've ever seen

At least we didnt go out like the packers 15-1 then 0-1 lol

I completely agree, looking back on it the last 2-3 weeks of the regular season and the two previous playoff games they looked very out of sorts, I mean the defense was still playing pretty well but overall something was different. I’m not sure whether it was the league finally catching up to them or something else but they weren’t the same team offensively speaking!! I still can’t bring myself to watch that super bowl. I can deal with the loss to the Eagles but losing two super bowls to the Giants and BOTH ON FLUKE CATCHES FROM NOBODIES ESPECIALLY THE “Helmet catch” just kills me!! Plus to this day I blame Wes Welker for the 2011 SB loss…..ALL HE HAS TO DO IS CATCH THAT BALL THAT HIT HIM IN THE GODDAMN HANDS AND THE GAME IS ESSENTIALLY OVER!!

@@ProudBostonian it really does hurt man. I know we sound ungrateful complaining when we’ve been blessed with the most dominant dynasty in the history of the NFL but I would trade 3 of those rings in a second just to complete the 19-0

@@ProudBostonian David Tyree was definitely a nobody. No question. Mario Manningham was a legit player. As much as Welker's drop haunts me, Asante Samuel was way worse. He blew the perfect season.

@@mikesmith5559 Yeah I never really thought about him being the reason we lost but I suppose he did get lit up. I’ll also go on record as saying as much as I respect coach Belichick and NO ONE respect that man more than me….I can’t help but think he intentionally sabotaged the Super Bowl against the Eagles when he benched Malcom Butler. I mean I know he is absolutely a “no one is above the rules” guy and we saw that CLEARLY with how he treated Tom Brady….the guy who IS THE MAIN REASON BILL BELICHICK IS CONSIDERED BY MOST INTELLIGENT PEOPLE AS THE GREATEST COACH OF ALL TIME. I get it, BUT C’MON BELICHICK…..IT’S THE SUPER BOWL AND YOUR BENCHING YOUR BEST CB KNOWING THAT NICK FOLES HAS BEEN LIGHTING IT UP THROUGH THE AIR DURING THE PLAYOFFS!!? The results speak for themselves….Brady throws for OVER 500 HUNDRED YARDS, 4 TOUCHDOWNS AND NO PICKS AND THEY STILL LOSE!!! I will ALWAYS BLAME BB FOR THAT LOSS!!!

No there not

Literally can't be the best team of all time if they didn't win it all

losing in the super bowl isn't an off game. they just lost because the giants played hard. That Patriots team is still historically one of the best teams ever. But don't give excuses like "having a bad game" when they lose.

@@Gpeagasus246 I give all the credit in the world to the giants, but the fact is they were not a better team is what I’m saying. It was a perfect storm of the giants best game and the pats worst game by far.

1972 dolphins or 1985 bears or 1984 49ners

I agree with you, but it’s tough to say that when they didn’t even win it all

Nope. I am a Pats fan, but with 18-1, it will be the 2nd greatest team after the undefeated '72 Dolphins. Undefeated means perfection, and there is only one way to be perfect/great

1985 Bears had the same record, won the Super Bowl, and had a higher total point differential when including the playoffs.

@@the100thtimelord2 Depends on what you view as great. I’d take the Pats in a head to head, but the undefeated dolphins team would be better to bet on in a season

2007 New York Giants Playoff Schedule: 9-7 Tampa Bay Bucs (W, 24-14) 13-3 Dallas Cowboys (W, 21-17) 13-3 Green Bay Packers (W, 23-20) 16-0 New England Patriots (W, 17-14) And they were all away from home. The Giants ABSOLUTELY earned the title of #1 team the 2007 season.

Plus, they had to take down a 13-3 Dallas Cowbys and a 13-3 Green Bay Packers, all in enemy territory, before facing the Patriots. They had the most incredible playoff run I've ever seen.

If he got that perfect season he probably retires a lot earlier in his career.

@@Pksoze most definitely

Yeah, the chargers and colts whom they struggled to before this games were hard games. For the chargers, you know they were hungry after that stunning divisional round upset. Then the nfc east. All those teams finished at least at .500 that year. The afc north was also pretty tough too.

That super bowl was the only Super Bowl I would say looked planned like a motherfacka but wasn’t

Their front 7 became godly in the playoffs

Well the players wear pretty much worn out by the super bowl because of all the stress they had on them of staying perfect

In SB 25, Ted Marchibroda called a TO, as a result, the Bills had none, and, Thurman Thomas had to run out of bounds much sooner than he wanted, we all know what happened.

The timeout was actually illegal, an assistant coach is not allowed to call timeout, but the officials, looking at the field, didn’t realize it was Rex walking up to him and not Billick

@@TheLocalLt Just imagine how many SBs the Ravens would have won in they'd had a real QB for most of their entire existence.

@@matthewdaley746 to be fair they could have used some wideouts, but all their cap money was spent on defense. Kyle Boller sucked but he was also throwing to the likes of Travis Taylor and co. It was like a total inverse of the Colts at the time, who spent their whole cap on offense

@@TheLocalLt I suppose, but, it proved that a good defense, even a great defense, truly only gets you so, far, and, that there would be many near-misses.

I mean u should couple of those they probably while of lost like to the falcons

No, the Giants just figured out how they did it and came up with countermeasures, much like the Nats did against That Certain Team From Texas.

There's clutch plays, and then there's luck. You know god damm well if that Super Bowl is played again 9 times, the Pats win the next 9 times. Those were one moment of luck across 4 games. You had FOUR moments of luck in one.
