Concur, though I began watching much later. I was a little kid during the Bledsoe days and I was just happy anytime my team would score a touchdown. Didn't care about wins, we usually lost. Then suddenly the Tom Brady era happened and I was like an orphan from a third world country suddenly having more money than Jeff Bezos. I wish everyone who roots for an underdog team gets their own Tom Brady era. There really is no greater feeling as a sportsball fan.

[@stevegaudreau67]

I hated Tom Brady taking over for Bledsoe. I thought we were done. Brady kept winning and winning and winning by the time we beat Miami for 1st place he won me over. The rest is history

[@michaelcoletta4547]

I was a huge Bledsoe fan and saw him as the guy who brought respectability to the franchise... I wanted him back as starter one he was healthy, at least to give him a chance to try getting back to form after a rough start to the season. But that was my own bias that influenced my thinking. Tom gradually won me over like he did everyone else, but I'm still so happy for Drew (to this day) that he played a big role in securing the AFC championship. In retrospect, there really is no shame in losing your job to the GOAT. But no doubt that had to be a tough pill to swallow, for a guy with Drew Bledsoe's pedigree. Credit to Belichick for seeing what he had, and never looking back. It's about winning... you can't let feelings and politics dictate who your starter is.

[@GDShenanigans]

Felt the same way. The year I started really paying attention to football was the year Bledsoe was drafted. Seeing him win the AFC Championship for us was awesome though, and ended up being a great send-off.

[@RaulieAbreu-xs4kb]

Brady was so clutch from the very beginning. Truly the greatest football player of all times.

[@Brian-qg8vu]

Fr. That near game-winning drive right from the Mo Lewis game was a huge clue. Remember at the time people still weren't too into sabermetrics and advanced stats, so everyone thought Bledsoe with the big arm, big contract and high draft pick was still the better QB. But in hindsight it's easy to see Brady was already flashing signs of GOAT brilliance: field awareness and discipline way beyond his experience, and way better arm talent than his draft pick/scouting report would suggest.

Forgot they were 1-3 starting out. Sure I knew they were 0-2 when Brady took over and were 11-3 throughout. But man, they went 10-2 down the stretch and won three straight playoff games. So 13-2 from week five on. Were they underdogs in their home playoff game? The tuck rule vs Oakland? That AFC Championship win genuinely stunned me. And from the way I remember it the entire country thought St. Louis was going to waltz to another ring. A dynasty was born at Super Bowl XXXVI, yeah. It was not the Rams though. The NE defense was the hero of that night and it gets forgotten they had the two touchdowns that night. That final Patriots drive may not look that impressive now. But in 2001, when a team ties the game with under 2:00 to go, especially in the Super Bowl, there’s almost no way anyone gets points and OT was certain. So that FG, as time expired, was an ending nobody had seen since Super Bowl V. And yeah they upset the Rams for sure. But beating Pittsburgh was way more unexpected. Just a crazy turn of events, the 2001 season. And Philly getting to the NFC Championship was nuts. Heck, the Bears come outta nowhere to a 13-3 record and a two seed. And it seemed impossible for anyone other than Oakland or Pittsburgh to get to the Super Bowl out of the AFC. Just nuts. Nuts. And these highlights are so dated. Yeah it’s been 22 years. A generation. But that astroturf really hammers home just how long ago this was. Glad I got to see all this as a 20 year old party animal that loved football.

I think your memory is *under-remembering* the amount the Rams were favored. Yes, Pittsburgh was a heavy favorite at -10, but the Rams were at -14 which is still the greatest point spread in a SB since the Jets beat the Chiefs before the league merger and before the AFL had beaten an NFL team. By comparison, the 2007 Patriots were "only" -12.5 favorites over the Giants. But even the odds don't really represent how much the Rams were favored. I remember after the SB articles saying that computer simulations showed the Pats would only win 1 in 36,000 times (back when saying "computer" still had the "Oooooooo" factor like "AI" does today) and all the hype around the Rams. But it was, as you say, the defense that lead that SB and the season - Brady was good, but nobody was thinking he was "dominating" back then as the video title suggests; that's just looking through history colored glasses and the fact that exaggeration and hyperbole are the meat-n-potatoes of talking these days.
