This Will Never Happen Again: The 2015 NFL Season 

The fact that Brandon said "2012" then dubbed it with "15" instead of re-doing the take is the sort of humor we are here for

Fun Fact: 2015 was the last time an NFL playoff game ended in a shutout Edit: Perna even once said: “Any NFL team that gets shutout in the playoffs should automatically get the 5th overall pick in the draft.”

As a lifetime panthers fan, von literally stole cam’s soul that night, I’m sad now thanks a lot purna 😂

As a Charlotte native and life time Panthers fan, this season was the most amazing and saddest at the same time.

I know you wanted to make this video considering who won the Super Bowl that year.

I’m a panthers fan. What is so tragic about this season, is we would have blown out any other team other than the broncos. We blew out the Seahawks and the cardinals in the games before. If we played the patriots instead of the broncos it would have been a massive panthers win. The broncos were set up just in the best way to exploit our offensive weaknesses. What’s insane is other than Greg Olsen every other player we had except maybe Ted ginn was basically a practice squad level player. Which just shows how dominant cam was that year. Mostly good memories from that year

As a Panthers fan, the 2015 season was truly a magical season. From the excitement you felt everytime they played. The Super Bowl run. The Color Rush uniform. Our 2015 defense. Our first Thanksgiving game. All the way to Cam being MVP. It may not have ended with a victory at the Super Bowl, but that whole season was a tremendous surprise that unfortunately us fans still look back at with a question of "What if?" Those questions are especially loud these days due to our current predicament.

2015 season was arguably the best season in recent memory

What an outstanding nostalgia trip, thank you Brandon! I'll never forget that season, but you did a great job of reminding me how crazy the QB situation was. There was genuine uncertainty as to who should start at QB in the superbowl. Osweiler had yet to reveal his downsides, and people saw him as the future of the franchise and probably a more capable QB than Manning at that point. Kubiak deserves so much credit for steering that crazy ship to a championship for us

As a Packer fan I remember the 2015 NFL season for being the year Jordy Nelson got injured and having a Successful Hail Mary in the playoffs that meant absolutely nothing because of Larry Fitzgerald in OT

First season I actually watched/paid attention to all the way through in my life (I was 16) and it truly did cement my love of football. Seahawks had an insane season that year. Doug Baldwin went crazy. Saw my Seahawks live for the first time too. Truly an amazing football season.

I loved this - 2015 Broncos were a really easy team to like because they always found a way to win the big game. The improbable, late turnovers were super memorable, but generally it was Von and Ware closing games late - meeting at the QB

“A true battle of emotional lightweights” is such a quietly brutal line.

2:57 he said his name and I go “WHO?” And a second later Snoop does the same😂 I’m dead

As a Washington fan, I was working at a hotel in DC and covertly was watching the "you like that" game on my phone and went outside to watch the end of the game. I yelled when they scored the go ahead TD and scared the crap outta people walking by. Family probably thought they were about to get mugged in an alley Wayne parents style. Good times

Thanks for reminding me about the Tomsula Era in San Francisco…I thought I had successfully purged that from my memory.

Hopefully there will soon come a day when the Lions are no longer just a footnote in videos like this that eqautes to, "and the Lions were bad as usual."

I haven’t watched the video yet, but as a panthers fan, it’s for sure going to make me either cry or punch a wall 😂 The sad thing is, It’s been 7 years since our O-line lost us a ring and we still don’t have one that’s worth half a damn.

The Panthers had Jonathan Stewart, who is super underrated. No one talks about him ever since Christian McCaffery came around, but Stewart is the Pathers best rusher, as of now

The first NFL season I ever really got into, and the reason I am still painfully attached to the panthers today

The 2015 playoffs were amazing indeed. I remember watching a bunch of those games. Thank you, Brandon.

As a Panther fan that was a sad night what a great season to end on a sour note

Brandon, I can't tell you just how much I love it when you go balls deep! Feel free to do it again ant time please. Honestly PLEASE make another video soon. Maybe a GPS Mashup on 2010. Tom looks like he needs cheering up since it's been SO LONG since Green Bay actually won it all.

Doug Martin had two of the best football nicknames, the muscle hamster and the dougernought

So many times i look back and remember the 2015 season

That was such a weird year, KC goes from 1-5 to running the table and blowing out Houston in the wild card game, Denver went from washed up Peyton being benched to super bowl win, A. J. McCarron was a non fumble play away from a playoff game, Carson Palmer was Top 10 QB and had the worst playoff game ever in the NFC title game.

A thirty minute video from Brandon? What a start to the weekend

This is easily my favorite RU-vid series rn, I’m binge watching em and so much good comedy and nostalgia in these vids

Lmao at the flash of guys whose profile pictures are them in their driver seats with sunglasses on. Too accurate.

Love these videos! The time and hard work you put into them definitely shows. Great content

Really enjoy these deep dives, i'm still fairly new to NFL. This really helps with giving more background to seasons that i might not have known about

Me: doesn't hit vape at 8 a.m. Brandon: *puts dude vaping as transition* Me: rips vape

The first Bronco game I saw live was that Week 2 game against KC. Still the best game I ever saw!

I love, love these seasons covered like this. It’s amazing.

The season my Broncos won the Super Bowl 🏆

I was living in Charlotte for this and its one of the best memories I have. I was at a local bar called Lucky Lous Tavern to watch this game, I was the only person there wearing orange with my Manning jersey and was ferociously booed when I entered that place...man did it all come around full circle though, the silence in that place towards the end of the game was priceless. Something I'll never forget. Felt like a long time coming though, been tough being a Broncos fan from the age of like 7 when I started watching football. I got to see the end of the Elway, Sharpe, McCaffrey and Davis Era (90's baby), but man was it sweet to finally get that win when I really understood what was going on...thanks for the trip to memory lane Perna, much appreciated.

Great video bud! Like the narration and the recap

great video Brandon you never miss! really love this deep dive format and man this season was wild go broncos!

ahhh that season was a rollorcoaster as a Cards fan, remember going 4-0 and almost beating the steelers in week 5... remember the playoffs and the greatest game I've ever seen vs the packers, funny cuz during the overtime play with Fitz i literally jumped around screaming and fam thought I lost my mind lmao! and then the absolute heartbreak vs the panthers. not gonna lie, when the Broncos beat them and made Cam look like a chump, I was the happiest person on earth and saved that season for me. good times.

doug baldwin on the seahawks also went crazy towards the tail end of this season. was incredible watching that stretch of russel wilson to baldwin for 15 td's

I enjoyed this. watched the whole thing after work

Die hard cardinals fan, was a great season. I miss that team every Sunday, until the NFC Championship game.

This is my first time watching one of your videos but on point and funny glad I feel on this....

Really enjoyed that. Hope to see more. Would love to see one on the 2010 season!

I love this type of retrospective presentation of a season.

As a Vikes fan, I forgot that we won the North That Walsh shank game me PTSD so bad my mind just erased this season from my memory Edit: Also if anyone was confused about how Brockweiler (bark bark) was able to fleece so many teams out of money, this season is why.

That broncos patriots game was crazy good to hear you were there too not a single person sitting the whole game

When Denver beat NE on Sunday Night Football in the snow and then again in the AFC Championship game, I knew they were going to win the Super Bowl over Carolina. 🙌 What an amazing defense that year 🚫✈️ we’ll never see that side of the ball carry a team ALL the way to a Championship 🏆 ever again! Respect to the 2000 Ravens Defense too ✊

Love these videos I'm sure they are hard to make but I wish to see more

When cam Newton didn't jump on that fumble the football gods cursed him forever.

Not sure how this channel doesn't have millions of subs. Everything is gold

I mostly remember that Patriots/Broncos playoffs game where Manning kept throwing the world's slowest passes...with perfect accuracy to his guys. Never seen anything like it.

Damn, CJ Anderson was a beast in 2015!!

This was the season I started following the NFL and it was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made

3:16 I see you Perna with those Spideyman glasses on. Edit: Nice easter egg.

I'm being reminded of so much that I forgot about. Amazing stuff. Miss this time period.

3:17 lmfao Brandon “Don’t tread on me” Perna

What a great video!!! GO BRONCOS!! Such a special year. The Golden Super Bowl!

My cousin is Luke kuechly and I remember every week we would watch him play and it was so fun. I still fell bad about the Super Bowl for him

This was one of my first years playing fantasy football super seriously so some of these names and teams are a real blast from the past. Le'Veon Bell, Latavius Murray, Doug Martin, Todd Gurley, "breakout star" Travis Kelce, Brees being his usual dominant self, these were all fantasy dawgs. What a fun year.

one of the best videos i watched in a long t5ime

First time watching your channel very funny video that was quite a season

God that season was amazing. Love the deep dives videos!

The guy vaping as the transition 😂 keep it going brah

Hey Brandon just landed in dever to watch the broncos vs 49rs hope to see u at the game

I'll always remember that Super Bowl. I was working at GameStop at that time. Sundays are always short days, so there's usually only a single manager that works from open to close on Sundays plus an additional employee that will come in for the last few hours to help close. I was meant to be that manager on SB Sunday but I woke up feeling sick as a dog that day. So did my dad. We both ended up camping out in the living room dozing on and off through the pre-game coverage. Being sick sucked but it was fun spending a day with my dad while watching a really entertaining SB.

Hey Brandon, this is great

Great Video

Make one of these for every season!

That's you at 3:17 lol 😆

Good content Perna 👌

That was beautiful Brandon my little sprite! I loved that season it was nice to relive it with you buddy! Epic Broncos historical moment!

Walking my dog in Wash Park 😂 laughin’ WITH you

I'm just here to shout out your selfie at 3:16, magnificent touch

PLEASE MAKE MORE OF THESE

I enjoyed this, can do other years as well

I have never seen a QB like Peyton Manning in 2015 still take a team to a Super Bowl win. His stats wouldn’t keep him as a starter in the 70’s, let alone this decade. Yet somehow the team with the 4th best defense in the league got 12 wins with a QB throwing 9TDs and 17 INT. Always felt like something fishy got them that Super Bowl. 🤷‍♂️

Let's go. I LOVE these videos.

Pause it right at 7:37. You will see actual footage of Sean McVay on the FootballComSkins. A rare sight

Love it man.

7:07 Actually it would've been the 3rd time in history. The 2014 Panthers won the NFC South at 7-8-1.

Ok let me point out something that was not touched upon. I think something that stapled the 2015 Broncos Defense as even better than many thought, is they made an entirely new defensive formation (at least in player composition). The Broncos had a 4-4-3 that was not 4 Lineman, 4 linebackers, 3 DB.....it was 4 Outside Linebackers on the line with Von Miller, Demarcus Ware, Shaquil Barette (who later got 19.5 sacks in a season with Tampa), and Shane Ray. 4 Corner Backs; Aquib Talib, Chris Harris Jr., Bradley Roby, and Kayvon Webster (Bradley Roby and Kayvon Webster were both good enough to be starters and got contracts in the future as #1 or #2 corners). Finally 3 safeties with breakout rookie star Justin Simmons playing as an all rounder and TJ Ward and Darian Stewart playing the normal starting roles. Keep in mind this defense wasn't suffering from bad middle linebackers or defensive lineman. Sylvester Williams was a monster of a nose tackle, and Derek Wolfe and Malik Jackson were both really good Defensive Ends that would shut down enemy teams. Brandon Marshall and Danny Trevathan were one of the strongest middle linebacker duos to ever play at the time and Todd Davis was backing them up and a future starter. This formation purely showcased the dominance of the Broncos Depth Chart deep into the roster. For any wondering at how the formation worked, the 4 outside linebackers lined up on the line, all swappable and free to do their stuff. The 4 corners were normally assigned man to man vs the 3 wide recievers and tight end. The 3 safeties; depending on the play, Darian Stewart would play deep as the free Safety, and TJ Ward and Justin Simmons would split the middle zones and focus on run coverage almost like middle linebackers, alternatively Justin Simmons would split the deep zones with Darian Stewart. This is still by far my favorite defensive position to ever be played, beyond even the greats like Bears 4-6-1 D. It was super high paced and was brutal on qb in a game that focused on passing. Unfortunately as years went by players retired and other teams saw how good they were and they were offered bigger contracts than Broncos could afford. But this Defense was legendary. Edit: special note that this wasn't used as a prevent defense, instead it was used similarly to a nickle defense.

i agree with you. the 2015 NFL season will never happen again

For the record... I've always hated Colin Kaepernick

Pernagrapher country, let’s ride!!!

I have no memory of Shurmur stepping in from Chip Kelly the last game of the season lol

“Eddie I haven’t discovered 5 guys Lacy “ 😂😂

the 2015 season was very memorable for me too especially the playoff game between the cards and packers the hail mary and then Fitzgerald winning the game in OT

As this being my first year of NFL, as a steelers fan, the first game I ever watched, was Vick’s W against the chargers, dam was this a wild first season

no joke when you said helping jeff fischer to... my mind said a 7 and 9 season, just as you said you guessed it. hilarious

Charles Woodson in 2010 is still the best defensive season I’ve ever seen. It might be because I’m a lifelong packers fan and I was 12 at the time and we won the Super Bowl… yeah actually that’s it but he had a good season that was incredible to watch

Where did you listen to D Wolfe on the tells during the Super Bowl? I’d love to give it a listen

Amazing job Brandon!

Lmaooo do more of these, this is Hilarious

Boy I sure do love goin "Ball Deep"

it gave me great joy seeing cam newton get permanant "von miller" flashes everytime he got sacked afterwards

It's crazy how the top 7 scoring offenses of all time didn't win the super bowl.

After listening too this I really hope you do the 2017 - 2018 season.

Please do the 2019 season.

I would love this kind of a break down for more weird teams like 07 giants
