As life long raiders fan this game and the tuck rule broke my heart

[@Mommyandtux]

This is one of the most historically significant games in all NFL history. This is the game wherein the NE Patriots Kraft-Belichick-Brady dynasty was born. Amazing historical game... The fact that this was also the last game ever played at Foxboro stadium under the heavy snowfall conditions was also symbolic of this "baptism" or "rebirth" of the NE Patriots organization as the GOAT NFL dynasty. It's crazy watching this now (early 2019) to realize that at this time (early 2002) Bob Kraft was just another owner, Bill Belichick was just another coach, and Tom Brady was just another quarterback. Watching this game, nobody could have possibly imagined the Kraft-Belichick-Brady Patriots dynasty, the greatest NFL dynasty in history, was being born. Nobody could have imagined Tom Brady would be the GOAT quarterback, the GOAT NFL player period, and arguably the GOAT professional American athlete ever.

[@jordancoleman1971]

if Brady & the offense dont put points on the board, or the defense doesnt keep the game close, vinateri has no opportunity to kick a game winner. The team is responsible, cant win one alone. Vinateri has one job that he might perform a total of 2-20 times per game if we are talking kickoff, field goal unit & extra point, he is only guaranteed a kickoff in terms of playing time. Now compare that to a Quarterback, let alone Tom Brady.... to say Vinateri is responsible for anything hes accomplished is a joke and im not a Brady or Patriots fan

[@nathaniellevesque2782]

did the tuck rule cost the Raiders the game? Absolutely Did the tuck rule prevent the Raiders from starting a dynasty? Hell no. The dynasty was killed by Al Davis, his poor drafting, and his refusal to hire a general manager.

[@nathaniellevesque2782]

Evan Mansfield I don't know about that. Considering his ego, AL Davis would force Jon Gruden out of the organization sooner or later. If Davis felt that someone in his organization was trying to eclipse him as the face of the franchise, he would try to squash him. Davis was a brilliant football mind during the 70s and early 80s, but he was losing his touch for the game by the new Millennium. Even if Gruden stayed, Davis would still have the final word on player decisions. They might have won Super Bowl XXXVII had Gruden stayed, but I don't see the Raiders accomplishing much more beyond that. The team would fall off the cliff eventually. Saying the Raiders would have had a dynasty had the call been ruled correct is just delusional thinking.

[@wolfstar675]

Nathaniel Levesque The Raiders could have been a dynasty because they would've won this game and won the super bowl that year without loosing John Gruden and win again the next year.

[@nathaniellevesque2782]

Enrique Godinez Looking back at the 01 Raiders, the defense wasn't that good. That would have kept them from beating the Steelers or the Rams had they beaten the Patriots. And as I stated earlier, Al Davis and his ego would have forced Gruden out eventually. Gruden was not going to last with Davis in charge. Davis would have still been responsible for draft choices and the roster was aging. The decline of the Raiders was inevitable.

[@stealthiscool]

Nathaniel Levesque not getting the first down on the previous drive, poor play calling and not stopping an average Patriots defense cost them the game not the tuck rule

[@dangelo2728]

I’d argue that it didn’t even cost them the game. They had an opportunity in OT to win but they couldn’t get it done.

Yea it was rigged it's just that stupid make no sense tuck rule saved the pats but Woodson still forced the ball outta bradys grasp for a fumble but nfl ref bs saved the pats and when the won the game, pats were gonna win the superbowl cause of 9/11 5 months earlier and pats were superbowl underdogs against the rams so no obvious penalties against the pats in superbowl 36 is what helped the pats win that superbowl.

​@@Tainopisno1it was a bad rule but the correct call. Even if the Raiders would of won this game, they still would have to play at Pittsburgh the next week. I'm not sure why people always skip over that fact and act like the Raiders would be in the Super Bowl by default. Let's not pretend that the Rams didn't benefit from Patriot penalties. Especially, the fumble return called back bc of McGinests penalty. Let me get this straight, the game was rigged in favor of the Pat's? Yet not rigged the next year? But rigged in 03 and 04?

A great last game for this old stadium.👍

It was the greatest win in the stadium’s history. That was a bad stadium, that saw a lot of bad teams. It really puts Tom Brady’s career in perspective, because Schaeffer Stadium feels like it was from ancient times.

[@jajhalperin2233]

Gannon was to Brady as Gannon was to Link.

[@Miller2h41]

The 3rd & Inches stop and Larry Izzo recovering the fumbled punt was the two biggest plays that are the most forgotten plays before the play that people have been talking about all these years later.

[@mikeyoungblood1642]

1:51:15 - Forget the Tuck Rule, this is the BIGGEST play of the game! Richard Seymour & Brian Cox stop Zack Crockett on 3rd & 1!

[@AntiMTVMovement]

Brady knew he fumbled (or thought the play would be called a fumble) since he lifted his leg to keep Biekert from recovering the ball.

[@adrianpena800]

Everyone thought it was a fumble the rule wasn’t commonly called

[@Badabinger]

That's rubbish. Anyone who's ever played any sport knows you react by instinct when losing control of a ball. Regardless how/why you lose control.

[@WalterWhiteFootballSharing]

I watched this game with 20 friends upstate NY get away on a really fun Divisional Weekend. Saturday Night. The snow came down and we bet against eachother all day watching it come down that Raiders had no chance with the snow. Well, they would have won if not for a bad call!

they said Brady is a game manager, but he threw over 300 yards and made so many clutch throws.

[@tim72184]

Under the rules at the time, it was not a fumble, precisely because he has gone to throw, held up, and not yet completed tucking the ball to his body.

[@abostonsportsfan8719]

Yes correct ruling. Skip to 5:10 of this video to see another example. www.nfl.com/videos/nfl-game-highlights/09000d5d81d92589/Wild-card-Playoffs-Ravens-vs-Chiefs-highlights

That 4th and 4 is such an underrated moment. The bs tuck rule, the FG to tie it, the FG to win it. It's all great and all but that pass from Brady to Patten was truly the stars aligned in the sky.
