The chip shot to decide the futures of Brady, Belichick and Flacco needs a deep rewind

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 23 ม.ค. 2023
- When the Baltimore Ravens and New England Patriots met in the 2011 AFC Championship, each team had a narrative it wanted to shed. The Ravens - and Joe Flacco in particular - wanted to prove they didn't just need to win with strong defense and a dominant ground game. The Pats, after a stretch of postseason struggles, needed to demonstrate they weren't just dominant in the regular season. Both threads hung in the balance as the fourth quarter approached its end and things looked likely to be settled in overtime...assuming Billy Cundiff could make an easy field goal for the Ravens to tie things up.

As infuriating as this moment was, it's very likely that if Cundiff hadn't missed this kick, the Ravens wouldn't have signed an undrafted kicker to put a little pressure on him. That kicker's name? Justin Tucker. Thank you Cundiff for this miss.
Tucker was undrafted (op initially said they drafted him)
@@reintaler6355 People just be talking lol
@@reintaler6355 I guess I misremembered, fixed and thank you. My point still stands.
@@sovaroo It's standing on much thinner ground as teams sign unfdrafted kickers all the time, regardless of how their own ones performed.
Would you rather have tucker or another ring?
I traveled from Baltimore to Foxborough to see this happen live, most heartbreaking sports memory of my life. A year later, I was at the inner harbor in downtown Baltimore watching the Ravens win the Super Bowl. Greatest sports memory of my life. Being a fan is a roller-coaster relationship.
You got to see come big names live as a patsfan I rooted for Baltimore in that sb I respect the rivalry
The dropped pass by Lee Evans the play before Cundiff’s missed FG was way more infuriating than the missed kick. All he had to do was not be careless with the ball.
Back to back infuriating bad plays. The BWW I worked at felt like everyone's souls just left simultaneously, never heard that place any quieter, even during closing time.
Ahh man. As a Ravens fan, this game literally broke my heart. But, in a way it set up well for us because the next year we regrouped, signed the greatest kicker in history in Justin Tucker, and won the Super Bowl. So in a weird way thanks Billy.
Seeing the thumbnail broke my heart all over again.
2 rings in 12 years not bad Pats got 6 in 18 years Tom 7 in 20 ravens were kinda like giants or stealers rams took little bit longer and chiefs took 50 years for the second ring
@@Channel-23s Don't forget that Baltimore was 2-1 in pre-merger NFL championships and 1-1 in Super Bowls before the Colts left town.
Hey Pat is the best kicker of all time don't forget that
@@USALeonHeart Everybody outside MD tends to act like we only have two rings in Baltimore, the disrespect!
I just realized this is Ryan’s last Secret Base video. Hope he goes on to make more great content. Really gonna miss his contributions to this channel.
What happened?
@@toddpeterson8653 got let go
@@EmmanuelAniTheSchism Yeah, Secret Base’s parent company Vox laid off a good portion of its employees last week. Unfortunately, Ryan was one of them.
Nooooooo;(
@@aidanfrye4144 Why are there layoffs?
and after that, ravens fans were blessed with Justin Tucker
Ryan, you will be missed at SB.
What happened?
@@xlr0gd205 A lot of layoffs in SB's parent company

After hitting us Ravens fans with this, y'all better be cooking up a rewinder for the Mile High Miracle.
ikr
lol
i remember watching this game and my steelers fan friend texting me "HAHAHAHAHAHAHA" immediately after. Just daggers in my heart. A formative football memory for me
i’m still upset about the raheem moore incident…
@@lunogyt "daggers in my heart" you'll never know what it's like to not only watch Donovan McNabb choke figuratively but also literally vomit
Kansas vs. Memphis 2008 National Championship. Mario's Miracle. Deserves a Deep Rewind.
The leftover timeout, a Raven’s mainstay.
Gonna miss you Ryan, thanks for everything, excited to see what you do next
Great video, and thanks for all your contributions Ryan, you were spectacular
That drop was also Lee Evan’s last NFL play
i remember going to school that monday and everyone being so disappointed in that whiffed kick. Hard to believe that was a decade ago.
THIS WAS A MOMENT IN HISTORY
The most painful loss as a Ravens fan. The 2011 team was better than the SB Champ 2012
Ravens did what no else could do to the Pats dynasty. Go into NE and win consistently. I don’t buy though that this moment was some grand moment in history since both of these teams would go on to win superbowls regardless of the outcome of this game.
Yeah but this moment did basically spawn Justin Tucker
Hire back Ryan Nanni.
I like to compare Joes championship season to Dirk Nowitzki championship season. Once playoffs hit, they both just went to another level we didn’t know they were capable of. Almost everything went there way.
Dirk was an elite player, Joe Flacco was not. Dirk had dominated in the playoffs before. See 2002, 2003 and 2006.
Still waiting on that rewind of game 7, 1991 World Series. Quite Possibly the best World Series ever?
Amen 🙏
Maybe the best you're gonna get is Bois pounding his desk and F-bombing repeatedly at the end of his Lonnie Smith Pretty Good.
Which, admittedly. Is ... pretty good.
You'll be waiting a while. SB is pretty much NBATV now. Everyone else was laid off.
@@brientaylorcohen yuck. The worst sport.
That was the year I got into Football and sports overall, such a fun memory until the Giants decided to introduce me to playoff loss PAIN.
The Evans drop was the most infuriating part.
You can make a career doing patriots close games recap. Nail bitters, heart stoppers, amazing games
So true!! It’s why they can’t hold a candle to real dynasties…lots of cheating caught throughout the years along with no coronation game (see SF in SB24)
And then there’s Super Bowl 53. I mean the long Gronk reception towards the end could work.
I love how everything played out and we was back there the following year, it was magical
Ravens did however return to AFC championship game and defeated the Patriots, then went on to win the superbowl in 2013.
Thank you for all your great work with SB, Ryan, and best of luck in whatever your career holds next.
Vivid memories of my dad and I looking on in horror as the kick quickly zipped to the right - absolute heartbreaker. Luckily the Ravens had their revenge en route to a Super Bowl victory the next season, though the 2011 team was better than 2012, imo. That AFC Championship rematch was so satisfying: 28-13 with Baltimore forcing 3 TOs and shutting New England out in the second half.
I thought this was the 2014 afc game that game was gorgeous
Good game by the ravens but when Tom Brady over comes to 14 point deficits you knew he wasn’t gonna lose
That pass by Julian was Krazy
Yeah, I have to respect that Divisional game. It hurts to this day cos the Ravens have been so-so since but the game itself has been underrated
Woah, this guy is a pretty good story teller. Can't wait to hear more from him!
He got laid off... ;(
LMAOOO! Like that kick wasn’t even CLOSE 🤦🏾♂️😂
Another request for the 2005 Champions league final between Liverpool and AC Milan, maybe the greatest comeback in European football history and totally worthy of a rewind
First the Bengals moment from 2017 and now this?! SB, why do you torture us Ravens fans!??
He's gonna bring up the Derrick F'ing Henry game next isn't he?
As a ravens fan…. One of my favorite and least favorite moments. We got tucker because of this play
Welcome to a moment in history that is the equivalent of Vox having all the sports talent in the world and in a short time absolutely shanks it
As a Brady fan, I remember watching this and being so happy when the kick went wide. The Ravens were always opponents for the Patriots.
Bro this is literally the play that i can remember getitng me excited abt football its crazy when you thinl abt it for me
I had the poster for the afc championship in my room after this. I was born in the early 2000so i never saw the older super bowls and i was watching them barely not make it for years before losing to the giants and then eventually barely beating the seahwaks and getting back into another sb run.
I’d be much more crushed if we didn’t come and immediately win a super bowl next year. Probably wouldn’t have gone back to back anyhow
Nanni is the GOAT. Gonna miss your work here. Need a vox disasters fullcast as soon as legally permissible.
Did Harbaugh not want to take a timeout because he thought he would be icing his own kicker? The guy literally had to run onto the field just to get the kick off in time. I’m taking a timeout in that situation every time
he didnt take it because he's a moron
Hindsight is 20/20
@@Nasa-cosmonaut No, I said I’d take the timeout in that situation every time, regardless of hindsight. Also, anyone who doesn’t take a timeout as they watch their kicker literally run onto the field to get the kick off in time is an idiot
Harbaugh is a dumbass
Nice to see they got Steve-O narrating these videos now
Billy Cundiff and Lee Evans are hated in Baltimore because of this
That td catch most likely changes the narrative around Flacco going forward especially if they win that Super Bowl and the next year’s Super Bowl.
@@JMartNotKMart I'd go a bit deeper, Flacco's signing would have been less of a stranglehold on the salary cap for the next decade afterwards.
This team winning the Super Bowl a year later actually set the organization back a decade (now barring Lamar's decision this off-season)
But it wasn't Cundiff's fault. There was miscommunication on the sideline and they didn't know it was 4th down which is why he had to rush out which you NEVER see. Harbaugh should have called timeout. Belichick normally would call timeout to ice the kicker, but opted not to as he saw the situation from the other sideline. The fact that Harbaugh got a pass on being so outcoached and Cundiff takes the blames astounds me. I'm a Ravens fan and I will defend Cundiff til the day I die. I dislike Harbaugh.
I've been waiting for the Rewinder episode. That game was insane, I don't think my heart has be ever beat that loudly before.
Ryan, I heard your voice opening this and immediately got really sad. You're great at what you do.
This is the night Lee Evans and Billy Cundiff became the 2 most hated names in Baltimore
I completely forgot about the winding play clock. Calling a timeout shouldn't have been necessary for a 32-yarder, but I forgot that had happened.
Feels a bit weird to say this decides the future of Flacco given that he killed in and won the Super Bowl the next season.
Then he got paid and played terrible for the rest of his somehow still ongoing career, but it's hard to call this a defining moment for him.
I remember people yelling about how Flacco was "elite" back then. Funny how that worked out, and didnt feel that way for anyone who ever watched him play.
@@booradley6832he played in a joke offense with no offense.
Greatest miss in Ravens history
For this pain caused to my Ravens heart can we please get a mile high miracle video
Little did patriots fans know it would be a whole 3 years before we got back to the Super Bowl and actually win it!
In the process Giants, Seattle and the ravens all won a Super Bowl before the patriots would win another 1
…okay
I mean, damn. Y'all have 6 rings and 10 appearances in a span of twenty years.
@@MarloSoBalJr No I get that we were spoiled lol but at this point we hadn't won a championship since 2004 it took over a decade We were starting to think we was never going win another championship wit Brady an Bill
man I feel for kickers in spots like this. I wouldnt be able to sleep for months.
Another play SB nation should do a rewind on from that year: In the week 14 game between Dallas and the Giants, Dallas had the ball around their own 35 up 39-34 with 2:30 left or so. On third down, Miles Austin was wide open, but Romo missed him. That play could have changed everything.
Bernard Pollard is also the guy who tackled Brady and ended his 2008 season. Over the next few seasons after that, Pollard also injured Welker, Gronk, and Ridley, and was given the nickname "The Patriot Killer"
Some say he would be fined out the league these days, I enjoyed his tenacity
“2011 NFC Championship - Ravens vs. Patriots” on the VHS lol
The Ravens had a rematch with the Patriots the next year, beat them and won the Super Bowl. And Flacco was the MVP. This game wasn't as momentous as the video would have us believe.
Now that both Brady and Manning are retired, can we finally get that rewinder on the 2015-16 AFC title game? There's so much to unpack with that one
Patriots OC in this game: Bill O’Brien.
Patriots OC hired this morning: Bill O’Brien.
LFG.
Rewinder Suggestions:
1. Mile High Miracle
2. Jet Chip Wasp
3. The Philly Special
4. Super Bowl 51
5. Lebron’s Game Winner against the Pacers
6. Odell’s One Handed Catch
7. Super Bowl 44’s Onside Kick
8. Mario Manningham’s Catch in Super Bowl 46
9. Jacoby Jones’s Kickoff return in Super Bowl 47
10. The Tip (Richard Sherman defining play)
The video tape says NFC not AFC
I saw the Tebow pass to Thomas live when it happened and saw the pass to Evans, he didn't drop it it was knocked out, and the kick happen live smh that was a crazy couple of weeks lol
Gonna miss Ryan nanni on the channel best of luck for the future man
Gonna miss you over here Mr. Nanni
Watching this video out of respect for Ryan, man this is gonna hurt.
I love how SB uses Jake Chudnow’s music. Flan is such a good song. Old Vsauce outro song
I remember the joke after he was released that the Raven's store said they'd ship you the jersey or the one to the left of your house.
Oh god can we get a mile high miracle video after this?? This was traumatic
Ain’t no way that Ravens team would’ve lost to the Giants that year in the SB
Agreed. I do, however, doubt that we repeat in 2012.
@@USALeonHeart why not?
@@jrad410 because only 7 teams out of 57 seasons have repeated, a 12% chance. And those were some all-time teams. Considering how the 2012 Ravens did in the regular season, and adding the typical Super Bowl hangover, I wouldn't put them among one of those special teams.
@@reintaler6355 not to mention that the previous decade has failed to produce a repeat champion, a first in the SB era
@@reintaler6355 Ray Lewis would have retired if they won that SB.
I was in a MAF missile alert facility on Active duty when this happened. It’s the worst sports loss I have ever witnessed. The feeling of disappointment after that game was months. I still hate watching that kick
I remember this game too well
You should do a Rewinder on the game winning Field Goal in the Ravens-Broncos playoff game.
Man...y'all need to rewind the Flacco Mile High Miracle. Feel like you owe us for all of this Raven torture.
Why are there so many comments saying “this miss led to The Ravens drafting Justin Tucker”? The man was undrafted 😂
Guess this place ain't free from casuals after all
My dad was so pissed before this kick. Nope not as a Ravens fan, as a Patriots fan. He basically said "great, now they'll tie the game with the field goal and win it in overtime". I said hold on a minute....we don't know for sure that he'll make it. What a moment
Can we have one positive Ravens video, please? Maybe 4th and 29? The Mile High Miracle?
Important thing to understand about that Patriots defense - Both New England and Green Bay allowed more passing yards that season than any team in NFL history. But both teams also created an insane amount of turnovers. 2011 was basically a "live ball" season. Bunch of QBs threw for 5000 yards where only a couple had ever done it before 2011. But specifically GB and NE - or more accurately - Brady and Rogers - no one could stop these teams' offensives. And every team they played knew they had to score a lot of points to stay in the game. How do teams score more points than normally? Take more chances. The way they played in a playoffs, even the SB loss against Eli who almost got 5000 yards himself, showed they weren't the 2nd worst pass defense in NFL history.
0:35 on the tape it says NFC Championship, should be AFC
I was watching the game just as a neutral observer in a bar in my hometown. One guy behind me hated the Patriots so much that he began going off on a completely unhinged tirade after Cundiff missed. It lasted at least eight minutes (I checked) before they calmed him down.
At least this kick inspired the Ravens to get Justin Tucker
It ultimately all worked out for Baltimore: we went on to win the Super Bowl the next year (and, perhaps remembering this game, in 2013 the was a team effort to curbstomp the Patriots early and never really let them make a game out of it) and thanks to Cundiff's decisive shank, we wound up with a likely Hall of Famer at kicker.
But I got to say, that 2011 Ravens' team was arguably the best one we'd have until 2019. That should have been a Super Bowl year. The run game was great. The defense was elite. Flacco had finally come into his own. The remaining NFC field looked beatable, and Tom and Belichick looked mortal.
That drop by Lee Evans and that shank by Cundiff still hurts.
Before the missed kick there was WR Lee Evans dropped pass in the endzone of the same drive. I think thats the bigger moment in the game. this was just the 2nd dagger for Ravens fans.
I was 15 during this game. I cried 😢
Thanks!
Maybe you could do a rewinder where something good happens to a Baltimore team?
This was one moment. As heartbreaking this missed kick was it set-up the rematch the very next year and, among other things, gave us a legend in Justin Tucker
Man, I was in *TOTAL DISBELIEF* at him missing that kick. Me being on the Patriots' side, I had almost given up on the game seeing them that close to being given the boot.
Still can't believe that kick missed.
Poor Sterling Moore, he made one of the greatest defensive plays in NFL history by knocking the ball away from Evans at the last possible second and this video doesn't even mention him by name, let alone acknowledge his role in breaking up the pass 😂
Sad to see Vox parting ways with Ryan Nanni and so many others. He will be missed
As a Baltimore natives who can’t stand ravens fans this was a glorious moment even tho it led to them signing arguably the 3rd best player in franchise history (Justin tucker)
Lee Evans was the only offensive bright spot on some truly awful Bills teams. Shame that he’s remembered for this game.
Sterling Moore was a nobody but he’s one of the better players on the joke of a defense
Bernard Pollard personally was responsible for injuring Brady in 08’, Welker in 10’ and Gronk in this AFCCG with one of the dirtiest plays ever where he twists Gronks ankle after the play. He alone was responsible for the Pats losing those years
Congrats on graduating from Vox Ryan. Miss you already.
Ahhh I remember this kick. Fun times. Party I was at went absolutely nuts.
I was there. Gillette was shaking.
You mfs evil 😂
If this video was made eleven years after, I guess that means we have to wait for rewinder on the Mile High Miracle until next year
All time great Patriot cornerback Julian Edelman's violent hit on Boldin caused the fumble that caused the confusion, that caused the chaos.
So long, Ryan Nanni
Very thorough not even naming the Pats CB who knocked the ball out of Lee Evans hands to save the game, his name is Sterling Moore btw. Also never mentioned that Myra Kraft had passed away that season which had a big impact on that Pats team
They honored her memory by getting scrubbed by a 9-7 team in the SB, fitting tribute
OK, but then, what made Donovan McNabb finish his career Untitled?
This game took years out of my life. Happy New England won even though they lost the Super Bowl. But the way the offense was struggling all game and the 31st ranked passing defense, I honestly believe that if the game went into overtime, Baltimore would’ve won.
Thanks Steve-O!
Even though we won it the following season, this one still stings.
Yeah cos if things had gone differently, I think the Ravens could have decisively beaten the Giants but it also would have resolved the questions regarding Flacco's contract and Anquan staying long-term -- along with more signings
Would have been two in a row easy
you guys wrote the wrong conference on the vhs my immersion is ruined
Really going to miss Ryan on Secret Base
