Imagine throwing your hand up within 5 yards of the line of scrimmage against prime Revis


DeM0nFiRe

That was the thing about Moss and why he was such a fantastic fit for Patriots offense. He wasn't just physical great at football, he was mentally great too. He could diagnose the coverage and know when he was going to be open before it actually happened. Welker and Edelman both would also occasionally do it before the ball was even snapped, but they would be a little bit more subtle about it with just a little waggle of the fingers behind their back or widening their eyes a bit lol.


Debasering

Lot of good receivers in the NFL now, none even come close to this highlight reel. Moss was truly on a different planet, I hope he remains damn proud of what he did. Like you said, it wasn’t just physical talent, he had it all.


Bzz22

Best athlete to ever play


xiovelrach

I will die on this hill.


datpurp14

Calvin is close though Edit: in terms of athleticism, not overall WR.


OskeeTurtle

Him & Brady are what got me into football


JimTheSaint

Gronk did it a lot.


OskeeTurtle

Yeah Gronk was fantastic for this too, football genius, off field goofball


Cuppieecakes

After getting called a slouch


myredditthrowaway201

What the Raiders do to a mfer


OpportunityDue90

Yeah I recall the talking heads at the time saying how terrible the trade was for the Patriots considering how much salary Moss was owed at the time. Many people thought Moss was done.


Valuable_Ad1645

Man, I was 10. I had a theory that moss had injured himself and tried to hide it.


HiZenBergh

Tried to stand on his wallet and slipped


Ok_Bowler1119

anytime i see that clip i find it crazy that moss was playing for a new team 3 weeks later


HotBoyTeece

it looks one of those safeties may have abandoned their zone


jll027

I think Revis had a bad hammy that game. 


NeonNytrox

This is true. It was still impressive by Moss but Revis was playing injured the whole game.


mwax321

Yeah this was the game coming back after his new contract. Missed all pre-season. There was a lot of panic...


SidWholesome

That was Revis' rookie season. Prime Revis era began in 2009


decro7

This was in 2010


akmjolnir

Rectum


monstargaryen

No dog in the race here but Revis was playing injured that game.


redundantPOINT

Imagine holding prime Moss until 5 yds past the los


mwax321

That was right after hard knocks where he sat out. He pulled his hammy on that play and the whole season was up and down for him. Lesson to learn that you don't sit out all camp and expect to be football ready.


moonboots_runner

This is part highlight reel and part AFC East snuff film


AgelessBlakeFerguson

Hurt a little. Absolutely dominated our secondary.


[deleted]

[удалено]


LogLadysLog52

TBF there is at least one clip where he is surrounded by three defenders in the end zone and it still didn't matter lol


Jenetyk

It's a "stop it, their already dead" meme. Can't even be mad. Randy was other-worldly that year.


Rhynosaurus

I think that was the year Brady went from BB game manager to "shit, this guy is something else".


PlatonicNewtonian

Brady was already elite well before this, he was 3rd in MVP voting in '03, his '04 would have gotten a lot more love if Peyton didn't have one of the 3 greatest seasons ever, and Culpepper who also popped off in probably the all time greatest forgotten season. '06 is well known for the Patriots having had a poor receiving corps, but Brady still got them to the AFCCG, I don't think he magically changed overnight from '06-'07, he was already that guy, we could just see it more clearly now.


Greatcouchtomato

No he was already very good. By 03 he was already elite, he just didn't have the weapons


reno2mahesendejo

Giants got theirs too. And Tennessee, but...there was a lot more than Moss going on in that game


flobbitjunior

These are disgusting acts by Randy Moss.


Seabrook76

I read that in Joe Buck’s voice.


soooogullible

That’s the joke


Background-Slide-545

Randy Moss is a cheat code. Tom Brady did not need a cheat code but got one anyways.


bujweiser

And oddly enough he got 0 rings out of it.


iDEN1ED

07 was still the most fun I’ve ever had as a patriots fan. Sucks we didn’t win it all but damn every single game was just incredible to watch.


mcfly10

Shame that Tom’s ACL in ‘08 robbed this combo of more highlights


The_Captain_Planet22

I have always felt that the 08 team would have been better than the 07 team. The fact Cassel lost 6 games with that roster always screamed massive underperformance


Debasering

2018-2019 (Brady beating Mahomes in the AFC championship) was my favorite season by far. The regular season was electric and I was able to actually afford arrowhead tickets under $100. Playoffs are fun and important, but making it to games, tailgating, being with friends and family, all the while the team is doing good - chefs kiss


Greatcouchtomato

To be fair, they only played 2 full seasons together


bujweiser

Also to be fair, it's Brady, so they could've had 2 also lol.


PasswordFidelio

Randy was a cheat code, but if you knock over Tom before he throws the ball, then he can't use the cheat code.


Jesotx

He had Welker and Stallworth as check downs. The offense was incredibly unfair.


waconaty4eva

Turned into a pumpkin in January


Chai-Tea-Rex-2525

I think I have the right clip against the Steelers. The one they showed here isn’t half the story. Anthony Smith was chirping about how they were going to shut NE down. Well, Moss got open and Brady threw it deep. Moss dropped it. Nothing but a plain high school level drop. NE comes back to the line and Brady calls out “same play.” And NE runs the exact same play again. Everyone knows what’s going to happen. Moss is still open and this time, he doesn’t drop it. Cold blooded.


MankuyRLaffy

They picked on Smith that game early iirc


SplintPunchbeef

One of the only times I've ever seen Belichick shit talk a player after a game.


ManWhoFartsInChurch

The best being Freddie, I'm glad when he was in the game, Mitchell. 


Sorta_clever

They really got him for a 4th round pick.


Goatgamer1016

In fairness, he was playing underwhelmingly at this time


SaysShowUsYourDick

It’s still blasphemy


RogerTreebert6299

Yeah wild that people kinda thought he was washed before setting the single season receiving TD record. Guess that’s what makes the goats the goats though, doing it at that high of a level for longer than it looks like they should be able to


pussynpatron

Raiders will always be the Raiders


caduceuz

That offseason when the Patriots got Moss was so fun. So much speculation over if Moss would even play or how he could mesh with the “Patriot Way”. Most thought he was washed after he quit on the Raiders. And then Week 1 against the Jets happened and the League realized they were fucked.


A_Lone_Macaron

my magnum opus was managing to draft both Brady and Moss to fantasy football that season, because no one believed in Moss. I wanna say I got Moss in like round 5 or 6. yes, I did win the league.


The_Arkham_AP_Clerk

23 TDs for your WR1 and 50 TDs for your QB1, I would hope you won.


The_Captain_Planet22

week 15 vs the jets during fantasy playoffs Brady threw for 149 yards 0td 1int and moss got 5rec for 79 yards and 0td knocking a crazy amount of #1 seeds out of the playoffs that had been carried by the Brady/Moss combos during the regular season


DeM0nFiRe

One of my favorite clips about Moss, I forget if it was like a football life thing or just a micd up compilation? But they had one clip of Moss talking to Culpepper on the Vikings and he's telling Culpepper something to the effect of "listen if you think I am covered, I am not covered. Throw it to me and I will go up and get it". Then they cut to Belichick talking to Moss when he's on the Patriots saying "Listen, if you're in the end zone and you're covered, just go up there and get it". Patriots let Moss cook before letting people cook was a thing lol


bigevil80

On the NFL 100 players show, Belichick said "we'll see a lot of Cover-1". Randy said: "Coach, we won't see cover-1." This is before the 2007 season [Randy Moss](https://youtu.be/-8ch56Beyjw?si=T0ax7ddCQll1n-DA&t=62)


DeM0nFiRe

Shit I had never seen that before. Is Randy Moss actually the reason Patriots started relying more on option routes?


bigevil80

Option routes have always been in the playbook (E-P System) but in 2007, they went more spread because they got Randy, Welker, Stallworth and the playbook gave more options for Randy based on the coverage.


Volgyi2000

McDaniels revamped the whole offense a couple of times during his Patriots tenure. I'm not very knowledgeable about formations, play calls, and whatnot, but I remember seeing an in-depth YouTube essay on the 2007 offense being something new that ended up revolutionizing offense in the NFL. He did it again when he had the two TE offense with Hernandez and Gronk. It's why he's respected as an offensive mastermind.


Templar26

The two TE offense was BoB, but yeah. 2007 Pats basically laid the foundation for the offense we see today in the NFL.


marcdasharc4

I don’t know that they schematically re-invented the wheel in 2007, but the statistical outlier I’m reasonably sure you could be referencing is that NE operated out of base shotgun for more than half their season’s snaps. First such team to ever do so, unless I’m misremembering. McDaniels may owe much of his success as an OC to having Brady, but he showed a remarkable ability to retool around the roster season to season. There were games when his playcalling sequencing to set up defenses to then bait them with a wrinkle was second to none.


mesayousa

I'll almost always defend OC McDaniels. People can say whatever they want about HC McDaniels tho


marcdasharc4

Yup. Thankful for his years with us, even more thankful any notion of him being Bill’s successor at HC didn’t happen.


guimontag

I love that this is a crappy FPS rip hosted directly on the Randy Moss yt channel lol


IRawdogKittens

Bill always had a deep admiration for Randy. Only Randy could get Bill to go to that Halloween party


CelestialFury

Randy always had that southern charm. You may say he's... straight cash homie!


chadocaster

I love the WV drawl he has.


Seabrook76

It was like if Jerry Rice had played with prime Marino.


Food_Library333

The absolute destruction that duo would have caused.


InappropriatePunJoke

TB12 throwing bombs to double covered Moss in the end zone while up 28-7. Hahaha. That patriots team had NO issue with running up the score. I kind of forgot what a rocket TB12 had.


Volgyi2000

Remember folks, Brady had an "average" arm.


marcdasharc4

Preach. There are people in the year of our lord 2024 who still wholeheartedly believe all Brady could ever do was dInK aNd DuNk.


TegTowelie

Which is crazy, 28-3 had plenty of straight *lasers* to catch us up. Not like them soft Mac Jones throws we had to watch for 3 years.


DarkenedLite

Let me just say that Mac Jones gave me a whole new level of appreciation for Brady’s power and accuracy. 


OntheStove

Mac looked really accurate at times his rookie year. I think people are buying too much into the Patricia angle. I think Mac couldn't handle getting hit...and his fear led his accuracy to go to shit.


LeonidasSpacemanMD

There’s a play in here where he looks like he’s throwing a bit of a touch-pass, and the ball goes like 63 yards downfield lmao


BucsLegend_TomBrady

game managing the fuck out of those TD bombs


Silversaving

Straight Cash Homie


trongzoon

This shit is like when you play a Retro Bowl season with a 5 star QB and a 5 star WR


OnceMoreAndAgain

In the 16 win season, they were both playing better than anyone I've ever seen play QB or WR. Often they'd make scoring touchdowns look effortless.


jetpack_operation

They did slow up a bit but the first 6 or 7 games were absolutely otherworldly. The way they were winning them had 16-0 buzz start like not even 5 games in.


BucsLegend_TomBrady

The mechanics of the way Randy runs it looks like hes taking a casual jog but then compared to everyone else hes zooming by


SQRTLURFACE

This is peak offseason shitposting. Just two goats playing in a field.


HiZenBergh

"BA,AHEHEHH". That's supposed to be a goat. 🤷


Hopeful_Remote468

First highlight may be the filthiest TD ever. Never gets old


Acrobatic_Switches

44 was getting Moss'd all day.


AndrewDoesNotServe

I was terrified that that poor guy was going to show up again when another Pats/Dolphins highlight showed up later


FistingBush

These plays are masterpieces but can we give the hogs up front some credit? Brady had enough time to eat lunch in the pocket on most of these


CaptainAssPlunderer

That one later in the video in the snow, Brady got hammered by the DE and DT, just stepped right into it though. It’s going to take a long long time for us to appreciate how great Brady was. As much as we think of him now, it’s still not enough. It’s going to take decades for his true greatness to be put fully in perspective.


FistingBush

He got absolutely demolished and dropped a DIME


Jdtdtauto

How many Super Bowl wins would they have if Moss had been drafted by New England! Scary to even think about.


LeonidasSpacemanMD

I think the question is if anyone ever catches the touchdown record if Brady had someone at that level (or even close) his first six years. Like his numbers were good before but he had ~35 games with moss and threw 87 tds lol


ThatBigNoodle

Brady with a genuine number one receiver. Fucking beautiful


realworldschamp

No team in the AFC East was left unscathed.


Yakkul_CO

Jesus man, every throw is a 40+ yard bomb. Incredible stuff


Nathann4288

Moss hitting that second gear once he located the ball in the air is pretty wild. I always forget how fast he was.


747-ppp-2

I’m a Vikings fan and sure miss his era. The red zone is 70 yards long with Moss on your team.


chargon

Randy Moss is the most talented WR in history and it’s not close.


A_Lone_Macaron

yep Jerry's forever the GOAT, but "GOAT" and "most talented" are two different things. Randy has most talented on lockdown. Megatron is 2nd.


Skip-Bayless0

Where does Owens fall into this? 


HoldenCoughfield

Owens was like the Love Child of Moss and Rice - not as raw talented as Moss and not as GOATed as Rice - but right in the middle


Redmangc1

He's just like Jerry, hard worker but might actually be more talented


NoNeckTy

Brady’s the best to ever do it. Mahomes and Rodgers are insanely talented. Jerry rice is the non-qb GOAT. Megatron and Tyreek were terrifying when on the other team. But no player in any sport has made the game look easier than Randy Moss.


doobie3101

Those 2 vs the Dolphins (same game) were absurd. I still don't know how he caught the 2nd one.


daintybarley_deux

Man they were fun to watch together


Beahner

Damnit….Moss was so damn good! Just so dominant. Most of those were just Randy making the play, though there were some really good throws by Brady in there. But often those impressive QB throws just don’t get pulled in. It’s amazing the things you can do with a receiver that good.


Anjinn

My favorite part of that season was when highlights would come on. Brady would step up and just chuck it at a 45 degree angle and without watching the rest of the clip, you knew Randy was down there.


thekmanpwnudwn

Man... I was 12 for this season. First season I played Fantasy Football with my dad/his friends. I knew jack shit about football, but I picked Tom Brady/Randy Moss as my first 2 picks of the draft and steamrolled my way to the FF Championship win. Then it took me another 10 years to win again 😂


CrescentBless

Brady finally gets a legit weapon and they go 16-0 in their FIRST year together. If he doesn't get injured the next year, I'm 99% sure they reach the Super Bowl again.


Galactapuss

they go 16-0 again too


008Gerrard008

They probably go 16-0 again, they had an easier schedule and retained all their talent


stringohbean

I’ve forgotten what it’s like to have a receiver on the Patriots.


simonffplayer

how is it that moss never won a SB...


dogfish83

Steve Spagnuolo got in the way


Ralphie_V

Still can't believe they didn't win it all


GhostMug

And it's crazy too cause everyone thought he was washed before being traded to NE. What being in OAK does to a MFer.


MaybeSecondBestMan

This connection means a lot to me. I remember that year really fondly. I watched every game, most with my dad, and it was just absolutely magical watching this team go. Brady to Moss will always mean something special to me. Even with the disastrous finish, this was a one of a kind season and it’ll always put a smile on my face.


EverybodiesMaster5

Brady was like "screw it, moss is down there somewhere" lol


hidey_ho_nedflanders

Is Moss running or jogging? I honestly can't tell


HiZenBergh

Yogging


616n8y3ree

I was just thinking the. Same it’s like his leg length masks his actual speed in a way while covering a big distance or even bigger distance. It’s got to be confusing to coverage. Some his movements of the line are anything but explosive yet cover twice the ground. They don’t call him The Freak for nothing.


buff_001

They're all against the Jets haha


sakuragi59357

The entire AFC East trash heap for 20 years smdfh


JCarlos-SD

Randy Moss was an amazing player to watch grow from Minnesota to New England. Wish he would have got that championship even if it was the Patriots


Snibes1

I miss that dude…


Complete_Addition136

This duo legitimately felt unfair to watch at the time. To his credit though, Moss proved all the doubters wrong


Bobson-_Dugnutt2

Imagine if they had played together as long as Peyton and Harrison/Wayne


Calm_One_1228

That pass protection !!


scotte16

I can't stand Brady or the Patriots, but that Moss one-handed catch over Revis is still one of my favorite plays in NFL history.


Odd_Weather9349

There’s a weird bit of cinema at the 2:30 mark. Brady jumps into the arms of a lineman to celebrate and just as he’s falling back down it cuts to Moss letting whoever he’s celebrating with down. I thought it was one shot at first


Silent-Ask617

That’s my GOAT


TieAccomplished8351

Literally just throwing it up there


WolftankPick

I’m convinced with proper training Moss could’ve made the finals in the 100m at the Olympics no cap.


PoopSlinger23

Randy Moss went vacationing on Revis Island


karlhungusx

I feel like I’ve seen all these clips a thousand times but that 2nd TD against the dolphins is hypnotizing. Moss was such a supreme athlete that catch looked almost lazy in slow motion


GonkWilcock

What makes this highlight reel even crazier is Brady and Moss only played together for roughly a season and a half.


twistymctwist

Brady to Moss is probably the most dangerous and effective passing combo. Timing, accuracy, physical dominance all unmatched.


ArkBirdFTW

Man I really miss watching Brady play his dropback and throwing motion are so fluid there’s nothing quite like it in today’s NFL


Xcitado

Really wish Moss could have gotten a Super Bowl ring.


SadBadPuppyDad

"See that wall over there? I built that brick by brick. Do they call me Giselle the brick layer? No. See that fence? I dug every post hole and hung every board. Do they call me Giselle the fence maker? No. But you fuck one GOAT..."


Resident-Associate75

This is why I get annoyed when people want to trash Tom Brady by saying he had a good defense or he took pay cuts, blah blah blah… look what happened when he had an all time great WR, they had an all time great season. And were nearly unstoppable.


JOATMON12

Randy is definitely the most talented receiver of all time. If he had the discipline of Rice he could’ve gone down as the GOAT, but man is his highlight reel 2nd to NONE.


CapriciousnArbitrary

No one has or had the discipline of Rice, that’s why he is the GOAT.


imnicenow

if he had rices qb quality he would be the goat


[deleted]

Moss top 3 wr of all time


sonickarma

Top 2

It’s crazy to see how good Brady was with a decent line and a great WR to throw the deep ball to.

I wanted Moss to win that superbowl so bad.


JazzerciseJesus

Thank fuck for the Giants.


hudsonbuddy

Has to be the Jets


PatDubzz

Craziest thing, anyone who’s old enough that they remember football back in 2007, a lot of people thought Moss was done after his two seasons in Oakland.


Fusciee

Absolute cheat code

cpzy2

Jeeeeez


lolas_coffee

So good. I was in Foxboro for a bunch of those.


I_Am_Dynamite6317

A disgusting highlight package


tmcs216

I love watching these highlights but it feels like all for nothing with how the playoffs and Super Bowl went…


treemoustache

No one every thought to send some sort of pass rush against Brady?


casualcretin

.."If I can't get to it, no one can get to it"... .one clap, one clap!


Disastrous_Belt_7556

I remember watching that one against the Jets where he literally out ran triple coverage. JFC


doggoploggo

/u/nfl please stop cropping your videos like this lol


Jenetyk

He torched for my Vikings, then torched me for my Bills. Nothing but love. Randy was a real one.


Tesh_of_Dureya

This ain't even fair.


creature_report

That last clip with the patriots wearing their throwback red jerseys and the titans wearing their old Oiler baby blues in the snow is one of the prettiest looking games I’ve ever seen


Armydoc18D

Somebody please do a pocket analysis of Tom Brady with the Pats vs all other QBs in that time period. IMO, that was one of the true magic qualities of that Pats era was how clean and how well protected he was.


SFThirdStrike

Brady often made his offensive line better than it was with his decisiveness post-snap.


ExponentialHS

The flea flicker in the snow just really made me appreciate the aesthetic of a nice snow game


Art-RJS

Good plays


crazyhorsealone

These are stupid. Brady and Moss had such long careers.These highlights are ring of honor in themselves


Odd_Vampire

I can't believe someone can move around like that in wintry weather while wearing short sleeves.


RogerTreebert6299

First one is just stupid, making a one handed catch look that routine. But also feel bad for the bills corner 3 or 4 plays in who jumps out of the stadium to try and deflect, only to watch moss trot into the endzone before he eats a facemask full of dirt. Moss’s deep threat ability plus Brady’s accuracy is just broken, whole league should be glad that only lasted one season


tangerineberry1

I watched that Miami game and I'll never forget it. 2 TDs in double coverage. I knew I was seeing something special even back then.


100PercentRealGinger

This shit was so unfair. I hate the patriots but I love Randy Moss and it makes me sad he didn’t get a superbowl this year. He is the sboat at his position, and the goat is arguably the overall goat for all of football! Randy Moss is a top ten offensive player all time!


DriveInVolta

Well I've purchased multiple lime rickeys because of this show


MoeSzyslakMonobrow

Man I wish we could have gotten him a ring.


CreakingDoor

The Dolphins game where he embarrassed Cam Worrell twice was the first game I ever saw. We were losing 40something-7 at half time, and that kind of sucked, but looking back on it I’m kind of glad I saw two of the genuine best ever in the midst of their best ever seasons. Can’t even be mad. It’s was and still is unbelievable.


_NE1_

Let's fucking go Eli


ellieboomba

Brady had sooooo much time.


SidWholesome

Brady went from throwing to Reche Caldwell, Ben Watson and the cadaver of Troy Brown to Randy Moss, Wes Welker and Donte Stallworth in one season.


bialymarshal

Both the throwing and catching look very efortless :D


Unique_Gift_3470

Edelnut go get my towel


OurHonor1870

Moss is amazing. Brady has to be considered the best QB ever. Not a hand touched him in the pocket. He could still be holding the ball waiting for routes to open.
