I would argue the 2014 pats chiefs game was the worst loss of the Brady belichick era. People thought the dynasty was over and that this would be Brady’s last season. But I can see why this game was picked, because it was truly the first game where all analysts thought belichick was argumentative and not a good coach with his players. Great upload!
At least new england scored points in that game. This was the pats first shutout loss to the bills since thurman thomas killed them in 1990, when the pats went 1-15
That 2014 Chiefs game was a complete nightmare. The Patriots started off sluggish and slow at the start of the season. Brady looked pretty “old” too, but that Chiefs loss made everyone think that Brady was done and the Patriots were no longer the top dog. Rest was history and it propelled the franchise to win more after all the events like bullshit “Deflategate” & Brady’s suspension lined up the dominos for more Patriots’ titles the following year.
@@Brendan-BlackAnd yet that game was definitely the worse loss of the two by a country mile. Brady made some egregious throws in the game that rightfully got him benched
Verne Lundquist of the SEC on CBS came back to the NFL on CBS to call this game filling in for Dick Enberg, who was covering US Open tennis. You’ll probably never see something like that again on CBS.
In hindsight, the Bills had a nasty defense: All-Pro Lawyer Milloy, Tackling machine London Fletcher Heavy Hitter TKO Spikes A younger Antoine Winfield and Nate Clements who would be All-Pro in 2004. Pat Williams and Sam Adams who weighed almost 700 pounds together in the middle.
We may look at this game now as a random bad loss for one of the best dynasties ever . But in week 1 of 2003, literally no one thought this was a dynasty in the making. They just won a super bowl 2 years prior, but it was considered a fluke, even undeserved with the tuck rule game. Then they completely miss the playoffs the next year. I'd love to hear the discussions about the patriots after this horrendous game.
I remember this so vividly. There were still people saying Bledsoe should be the qb in Foxboro and Brady should’ve been traded for a high draft pick. In 2002, even though Buffalo went 8-8, Bledsoe threw for 4300 yards and went to the pro bowl, and after week 1 of ‘03, some fans were convinced Belichick gave up on the wrong guy and Brady was a flash in the pan. People started to talk themselves into Brady after the OT Miami game a few weeks later, and then after the intentional safety game against Denver there were more people on board. After beating Indianapolis on the goal line in November was when most of us thought the team was special
Patriots were considered a one-year winner after their underdog win in 2001. Then missed the playoffs the following year. There was no talk of dynasty. 2003 predictions had them as a Wild Card team and 15/1 odds to win it all.
Two amazing points from this game: Lawyer Milloy having an impact on this game after signing on Thursday of that week & that New England won the rematch in week 17 by the exact same score.
The Lawyer Milloy game. After they won the sb this year I knew 01 wasn't a fluke. Wasn't sure till then tho, especially when missed the playoffs in 02 then started like this.
@@kingovharts no run game, run defense was atrocious, Brady had a aevere shoulder.injury that was so bad that he wouldnt have even played in the playoffa if they made it. Despite that, it was an obscure tiebreaker that cost them the division in a 3 way tie with NYJ and Miami.
Fun fact: The patriots would go 17-1 for the remainder of 2003 following this loss. They also won 21 straight games from Week 5, 2003 to Week 7, 2004. Maybe they just needed this ass-kicking to get going😂
@@andrewlarson7 And yeah I liked those early 2000 teams more than the later teams that won, in 2014, 2016 and 2018, you're right, they had a better overall team, they could beat you in anyway, offense, defense or special teams.
This was a great game back in the day. I revelled in how the Bills utterly dominated New England. Sadly, that was one of the very few highlights in an era where Brady made the Bills his personal whipping boy.
This game was the best thing to happen for the Pats. The media(Tom Jackson) slammed BB and the team rallied behind him. They would lose one more game that year.
This game should be called Laywer Milloy and Drew Bledsoe revenge game but later on the season in Foxboro Patriots got revenge on Bills beating them 31-0 so they took that game personal
Patriots would go 33-3 over the rest of the 03 and 04 seasons, won back to back Super Bowls, returned the favor with a 31-0 shutout in the final week, had a 21 game win streak. 33-3, which is the same as Brady’s overall record vs the Bills.
This was the loudest game I was ever at in my 20+ years of season tickets. When Lawyer Milloy was introduced, I couldn't hear his name called out over the PA. A great win that was unfortunately the high point of the 2003 season.
Bears play the packers this week, if you guys are looking for a good game to show week 1 of 2006 bears vs packers where Brett Favre was shutout for like the first time ever would be a good one
@@WFM I'm thinking the "I own you" Chicago game. Either of the games vs them in 07 will suffice. For a team with a almost winning percentage of about 49% from 2000-2019 you'd think they were the Lions with the bloated number of Bears throwback losses they upload.
@@WFM I'm with you I'd love to see week 1 2006. Week 5 &16 of 2007 were classics too. It's been 16 fu(k!ng seasons since we've beat them by More than 1 score. 19-7, 2005 week 13 26-0 2006 week 1 & 35-7 2007 week 16 during the Lovie era vs Favre. And of course there's no footage of that other than a 2 minute hilight video with commentary. But full game footage of Rodgers nut kicks are dime of dozen of course.
I literally remember thinking after this game that '01 title was going to be an absolute fluke for Brady lol. And it's crazy when they rematched later that the Pats beat them 31-0.
Never liked that music. Surprised CBS has stuck with it to this day. I always felt the previous theme felt like a minor key version of the famous college football theme.
The 2003 New England Patriots were a really great team and arguably the greatest in franchise history; however, they were not emotionally prepared for opening day because of what Bill Belichick did to Lawyer Malloy. At least they were capable of bouncing back and it didn’t ruin their season.
@@mariosnum1fan, the 2003 New England Patriots won I believe 17 consecutive games and finished the job at the very end. The only other Patriots team to win at least 17 games in a row is the 2007 team that didn’t finish their season with a Super Bowl championship.
@@mariosnum1fan, the one major difference between the 2003 and 2004 teams is that the 2004 Patriots had more explosive runs thanks to Corey Dillon. Antoine Smith wasn’t as good as Dillon, but he certainly wasn’t a bad running back either.
@@NothingToPointOut24the spy gate rule wasn’t put into effect until 2006, and the act of filming wasn’t what got New England in trouble. The more you know 🤗
@@NothingToPointOut24 you mean the report to which the reporter later admitted had no credibility to and had to issue a retraction? Try thinking for yourself instead of blindly following others 🤗
Don’t think Verne Lundquist did another NFL game on CBS after this one. In fact, that day he was filling in for Dick Enberg who was calling U.S. Open Tennis.
@@mediadude08 that was Verne lundiquist? Wow, I had no idea. Didn’t listen to him much but he was a good commentator. I didn’t know enberg was covering the U.S. Open
