@@MrC77 explain that alternative universe. Bill belichick would have not lost to the Giants that second straight time in that super bowl. Tom Brady would have made sure of that
What if Russel Wilson would have waited 3 more seconds with the ball in hand? He could have ran it himself. People blame Pete Carroll, why? He didn't throw the pick Wilson did. There was not 1 pats defender around Wilson to sack him. Russell threw the ball too quick and Butler was so ready.
Bigger question for 2008, what if Plaxico Burress never shoots himself? Giants were rolling teams that year and at the end the offense couldn't sustain drives because it lacked any playmakers. The top WR's were Steve Smith who was a slot WR and Dominik Hixon.
I think most likely, Patriots go probably 14-2 that year, #1 seed. Steelers, now the #3 seed, would have had to play the Titans on the road in the divisional, which would have been a tossup (TEN had an 8.94 SRS, PIT 9.80 SRS, the line would have been something like TEN -2.5, only because of the homefield). So it's possible the Patriots might not have even faced the Steelers in the 2008 playoffs!
What if the 09 NFC title game didn't go into overtime? (Which was extremely controversial btw) 2 things, the overtime rule would not have changed, And the process of the catch rule wouldn't exist, Dave should seriously do a video on that.
KC would have just drafted Sanchez. This means the Jets go for Freeman. Bucs miss out on a QB that year and draft Jimmy Clausen in the second round in 2010. With rookie Clausen instead of second year Freeman, the Bucs get the first overall pick in 2011, in which they take Cam Newton. The Panthers draft Von Miller.
So does Josh McDaniels still get the broncos coaching job? One of the selling points for him was that he got an 11-5 season out of Matt Cassell. Without that, maybe he stays under the hoodie a little longer, until he finally takes his first head coaching job in Indy.
Steelers would have had Brady's number that year, the defense at it's very best. If you can put pressure on Brady, you can beat him, and that defensive front was a monster that year. Harrison and Woodley in their prime, with Hampton, Keisel, and Smith shutting down the middle, and Foote and Farrior (also at the top of his game) just behind them. Ike Taylor was still a shut down quarter, Polamalu was everywhere (wasn't until he injured himself the next year his career started to decline), and Towsend and Clark were the perfect compliments. That defense was beastly.
I always say The Steelers super bowl should have a disclaimer that Brady was not in the league! THERE IS NO WAY ROTHLISBERGER BEATS BRADY IN 2008! ! ! NO WAY! ! !
They would have won the superbowl if he did not get hurt when he came back the defence was in full rebuild mode and the offence was on its last legs and rebuilded after the year brady is back, the true what if is what if arron hernadaz never became a killer and pats hat him and gronk for a whole career
I actually think Jay Cutler would still be on the Broncos because the reason he wanted to leave the Broncos to begin with was because then head coach Josh McDaniels was interested in getting Matt Cassel from the Patriots. Without Matt Cassel having that playing time with the Pats in 2008, Josh McDaniels wouldn't have talked about Matt Cassel when coaching the Broncos and Jay Cutler would not feel like he wants to leave.
All Denver gets for Cutler is a 2nd round pick from KC? That doesn't even make sense. Especially considering they got 3 picks and Kyle Orton for him from Chicago. Bunk story, Dave.
The Broncos probably wouldn't have traded Cutler in the first place had Cassel never gotten off the bench because McBoywonder wouldn't have been so enamored with him. Whole exercise is moot.
The Broncos didn't trade Kyle Orton to the Chiefs in 2011. Orton was released and was later signed by the Chiefs. So, no, the Broncos would not have traded Jay Cutler to the Chiefs.
Hell no. Pats would have played the 1st seed Titans in the AFC championship game in Nashville. Pats make the playoffs means theyd win the East and be the 3 seed, beat the 6 seed Ravens.
Brady would have kept the starting role. NE was moving on from Drew regardless, but maybe Warner would have stayed in STL longer? Was never a fan of Bulger
And to make matters worst Brady’s last throw in 2008 at the game you were at, bet Foxboro had a collective sigh😢, was a beautiful pass to Randy moss he caught and then fumbled. Ugh!
Not sure if the 2008 Pats would have beaten the Steelers that year. Probably the best Steeler team other than 2004 the Steelers have had since Belichick showed up in NE. But New England def beats Cards, as they whipped them earlier in 2008
It was really crazy that they missed the playoffs at 11-5
Rip Kobe right? The dolphins had the same record but they were the #3 division champ. The Ravens were the #2 wild card.... And did I mention they too went 11-5? The 2008 season was so weird that the Titans.... “the Titans” were the number 1 AFC Playoff team at 13-3
The Cardinals went 11-5 once and missed the playoffs too
That’s how good the AFC is compared to the NFC
Not really considering that same offense went 16-0 the year before.
Browns went 10-6 and missed the playoffs. Just unfortunate things that happen.
The real "if" from that season is what would've happened to the 10-1 Giants if Burress didn't shoot himself
If he didnt shoot himself and Brady never got injured the Superbowl would have been a rematch of the previous year, with the Giants winning again.

What if the Seahawks ran the ball ?
Let's not think of that
What if the Cards didn't do the 1 yard pass in SB 43? What if the Helmet Catch didn't happen? What if Welker didn't miss the pass in SB 46?
They lose to the Panthers in the playoffs
next year
