It's crazy how 2004 and 2016 were mirror images of each other with the 49ers going 2-14 while losing against the eventual super bowl champion patriots who happened to go a reverse 14-2 each of those years in route to a super bowl title.
@@davidfromcolorado5295 it was 14 of 16. New England played Indy and KC in 2004 while they played Houston and Denver in 2016. A lot of stuff was identical.
This is a matchup of two franchises in this game that are totally headed in opposite directions. The 49ers were in uncharted waters with finishing (2-14). This would be Dennis Erickson's final game as 49ers head coach as he would be replaced by Mike Nolan as the Niners would continue to struggle throughout the remainder of the decade while the Patriots would win their second straight Super Bowl for the third time in four years to establish them as a dynasty while the Patriots have now appeared in nine Super Bowls while the Niners had have only three winning seasons since 2002 including one Super Bowl appearance since The York family fired Steve Marucci and replaced him with Dennis Erickson while the Patriots since Robert Kraft became the owner of the Patriots, they have been the winningest franchise in Pro Sports since 1994 and are the Gold Standard Of The Model Franchise.
Perhaps things reverse themselves in the next decade after a through rebuild (I’m cautiously optimistic for a playoff berth this season with the undefeated start so far), but for now it’s the 49ers who are hoping to reemerge out of their 21st century dark age and into a new possible era, while the Patriots just keep adding onto what is undoubtedly pro football’s greatest dynasty ever.
@@jonathand.9555 Unfortunately for you you have a near unmatched Super Bowl choke artist for a HC. Not even being mean Kyle Shanahan just does not know how to win the big game.
@TheAireaidLord and New England won both their road games against the 49ers during that span- 2008 and 2016. So this remains that last win for the home team in the series.
One of many areas where Brady improved as his career progressed was his decision-making which is reflected in the rapid decline of ints. he threw after '06. Of course pass catchers such as Moss, Welker, Gronk, Hernandez and Edelman had a bit to with that, but there's no doubt Tom became a smarter QB over the years.
I remember being in shock as my niners who were 2-13 before that game were actually winning, but all of a sudden, just like in every game that season, in the 2 half we would be a total disaster
The 49ers could have had a 14-0 lead and they would have lost this game-the talent and coaching disparity between the two teams was that big! Anyhow, 2004 and 2016 have to be the two worst seasons in 49ers history with terrible head coaches, terrible offenses, and abysmal run defenses, but hopefully better times are ahead (starting with this season)! #NinerFaithful
@@jonathand.9555and their woeful 2018 season as well, though they didn't play New England that year. They finished with a -25 turnover margin in 2018.
Been a 49er fan since birth. Im 28 now. This 2004 Niners team is one that i totally erased from my memory for good reason. The only starters i recognized during pregame intros was Dorsey and Barlow. Everyone else on the team are no-name backups at best. What a horrible year, horrible team, and horrible coach. P.s. posting this on the day that Belichick parted ways with the Pats.
Erickson was such a f'n hack. Walking off the field at the half with 30 seconds and two timeouts left - what a great way to demoralize your team. Then he says "we need some big plays." SMH
Patriots the dynasty and the 49ers the former dynasty thats the worst team that year. They had to many young inexperienced players on their offense because of salary cap issues. 25% of their salary cap was dead money. Salary cap is what ruined them and the cowboys franchise.
Not many football fans know that the 49ers currently have one of the best (if not THE best) contract negotiators in the NFL in Paraag Marathe; every single free agent contract the team has drawn up since 2004 has been team-friendly for the most part and filled with incentives and bonuses so that the organization can move on from them easily and not get stuck with a ton of dead money.
Mike Youngblood The 49ers offense that year was a shitty dumpster fire between Dennis Erickson, Tim Rattay, and their non-existent wideouts...”trash” didn’t even begin to describe it. Their current coach is a massive sea change from the 49ers offensive thinking from 2003-2016 (even in 2011-2013 when the team was a bonafide contender and SB runner-up).
And I think the 49ers really wanted that #1 overall pick just as much as they wanted to go home uninjured and out of the cold...unfortunately they kept themselves in the cold for many seasons after the draft later that year (calendar year 2005). 😞
Isaac Green it’s cool! Eventually you’ll have it? Just wondering since I have a patriots player’s jersey from this season and he plays a lot in that game

And both times the 49ers only two wins came by sweeping a division rival.
@@JahNuhThunDeeTheOneAndOnly and 15 of their 16 opponents were the same that season
Played Steelers in conference title game as well

don't forget 6 super bowls now and probably plenty for more! #gopats! #onto2019! #sevenheaven!!!!

@Jonathan Dee The One And Only It took Reid being fired and a god tier QB to finally barely pull it off.
@Jonathan Dee The One And Only this was the last time the patriots beat the niners in foxborough. 2012 and 2020. you know the rest.
Week 17 of the 2004 NFL season technically occured in 2005.
Believe it or not, this would be the last home win for the Patriots against the 49ers.
well there have only been 2 games after in NE - 2012 and 2020. 2012 was a close one and almost a comeback whereas 2020 was the covid Cam Newton year
@TheAireaidLord and New England won both their road games against the 49ers during that span- 2008 and 2016. So this remains that last win for the home team in the series.
Believe it or not? They play each other once every 4 years, wtf is this comment
Tom brady vs his childhood team
42:58 kinda cool that 17 years later, Belichek is still in the league, and these guys are both head coaching.
One of many areas where Brady improved as his career progressed was his decision-making which is reflected in the rapid decline of ints. he threw after '06.

One of Kevan Barlow’s “better” games in ‘04. He was pretty good behind a good offensive line, but he got exposed.

This was a mere ten years after we won our last Super Bowl.
Back when the league didn't force teams to finish within the division ...
Yeah but it's so much more exciting to have postseason berths on the line against division rivals
Rashaun Woods caught 3 of his 7 career catches in this game.
Yeah I remember this game gave us Niner fans some hope that maybe Woods might do something. Nope BUST 😂
Touchdowns:
21:50 SF: Bush 4-yd rec from Dorsey
41:40 NE: Vrabel 4-yd rec from Brady

the patriots are team of the 2000's and the 2010's! back to back team of the decade! no debate!!!!

This was technically 2005 😉
Hush 🤫 up Joey
This game was apart of the 04 regular season.
Nope it was de facto 2005 but technically 2004 because it was the 2004 season
Was 18 when this aired... crazy how Brady just retired.
14:35 - 1st & 34?! Not something you see every game! The 49ers just wanted to go home uninjured and get out of the cold 🥶.

The Dawn of The Dark Age.
Man don't know who was more terrible Dennis Erickson or Chip Kelly both 49ers seasons were rough to get through 2004 and 2016
Big game but ya can’t have the first team announcers?
Bills at patriots 2004 week 10?
I do not have that game at the moment.
Isaac Green it’s cool! Eventually you’ll have it? Just wondering since I have a patriots player’s jersey from this season and he plays a lot in that game
@@nonspicymemes395 I will try my best to get that game.
Isaac Green thanks!
@@nonspicymemes395 we.tl/t-PvSh8AohHE Here is the game for you.
If Julian Peterson Didn't Get Hurt in Week 5 Then The 49ERS Might not have Gotten Alex Smith in the 2005 NFL DRAFT.
this was the last time the patriots beat the niners in foxborough.
Where’s the 2000 Pro Football Hall of Fame game?
I do not have that game.
Isaac Green that’s the game also featuring 49ers vs Patriots & Tom Brady’s very first game
Isaac Green Do you have any 2000 Patriots preseason games? I have been looking fruitlessly for ages. Thanks.
1:17:57 COACH FLECK!!!
Who is Rowan Davie oh that's right he was the wasted draft pick
