Top 10 Things We Loved About the 2000's

From 1999 to 2010 were the years I enjoyed watching the nfl the most. Watched every Sunday all day and couldn't wait for Sunday night countdown and Chris Bermans highlights. Loved Inside the NFL on HBO. Monday night football was the only thing that got me through school days on monday.

I hope NFL Network does a 2010s edition.

Andy Reid: "Your heart is as big as my waist!" 😂

2000s was the last decade of great return specialists. We will never have No. 9 in this list again sadly.

Didn’t even know this particular list existed. Isaac you are the man! Keep them coming!

Seattle didn't put engineering work to enhance the noise. They designed the stadium to prevent the fans from getting rained on or snowed on and the end result was the acoustics were greatly enhanced. It happened by accident.

2000s They got new stadiums 2010s Most of them got Renovated.

For me, it was the discovery of football. I was in elementary-high school. I developed a crush on Tom Brady, learned how the game works. Also, my local team had been a struggling joke, only to finally prove it by going 0-16. It was a team so bad, a Jr. High backup player could tell you what the team was doing wrong. Oh yeah, the evolution of the scrambling QB and first spread offenses in the pros.

One thing I loved about 00s NFL football was seeing all of those Reebok jerseys and uniforms

My favorite thing was watching the growth of the kickers and the performance of special teams units in general. The generation of kickers they had from the aughts got so consistently good that it became taken for granted. To the point the league now changed some rules to make it harder again. But you really saw a generation of kickers where if you got a good one, it was like alright. We're set for 8 years. Don't even look at that position. Stop wasting roster spots on competition. It's incredible to think just in the decade prior you could find teams running with sub 70% field goal kicking units. Nowadays, if you're not in the high 80's or 90s, its a much more brutal landscape.

You just can’t beat football from 1985 to 1999. That was its own era, just amazing. So many legends in the time frame. As a kid then, you got to see it all.

You know who doesn’t like these new stadiums? The taxpayers

I still can’t believe they made guys play on the old artificial turf

Dude thank you for putting this up during these times ... you have lowered a group of peoples anxiety

Omg I'm seriously so excited you uploaded. This is amazing! I think you give more variety than the NFL Films channel, this is awesome!! Thank you

Thank you for uploading these treasures.

Something that I miss in retrospect - quarterbacks and runningbacks. For some teams it was a revolving door of quarterbacks, no doubt. Cleveland was a graveyard, of course, but there was no shortage of decent game managers across the league and a lot of great talent developed out of nowhere. We had draft stars in the Manning brothers, Brees, Rivers, Roethisberger, Donovan McNabb, and Aaron Rodgers popping out in the end of the decade, good game managers who made their name before the decade in Steve McNair (RIP), Marc Bulger, Jeff Garcia, draft steals in Matt Hasselbeck, Tony Romo, and of course Tom Brady, the rising star that crashed in Michael Vick, the cinderella QB Kurt Warner who had one last shot at glory with the Cards, and the beloved Brett Favre among many more. There was no shortage of developed talent in the game. If you look to today there's a parade of draft busts and washout at the position. I won't deny that the trend started in the 2000s with players like Alex Smith (at first overall pick he's unquestionably a bust - but still a decent QB) and Jamarcus Russell. I just don't see that sort of development anymore. You still have a few good QBs from that decade playing but we're likely to see Rivers, Roethlisberger, Brees, Rodgers, Tannehill, and Brady retire in the next two years. We'll have Mahomes and Jackson - assuming neither destroy their knees and never learn how to be a pocket QB like RGIII - but there's really not much stock at the position right now. Hell, one of the names I would put up there, Andrew Luck, retired because of injury concerns. Russell Wilson is there but that's a pretty short list I have. The position has degraded for quite a few reasons and I hope for the sake of the sport that the ones that there's an actual solution for do get addressed. The other thing is runningbacks. Emmitt Smith's yardage record will never, ever, ever, ever be broken. People say that about a lot of records but for runningbacks it's hard to envision it ever happening unless Frank Gore somehow manages to play until he's forty-five. Runningbacks are retiring before they're thirty now - and for good reason. And good for them too, get paid and get out, don't ruin your future just for a few extra years. I want them to do well and to move on from the NFL and to have lives as happy and healthy as a veteran NFL player can live. Curtis Martin made it until he was 32, Tiki Barber until 32, Marshall Faulk 32, Edgarrin James at 31, Corey Dillon at 32, etc. The 00s' saw runningbacks retiring earlier than ever before and they trend continued into this decade. I'm more happy to see runningbacks be able to walk away from the game with their health intact than I am sad to see the death of the journeyman runningback and lack of familiar faces at the position but that doesn't mean that I'm not still sad about seeing the end of the runningback who stays with their team for a decade. We might get one or two runningbacks who play for a long time, players like Marshawn Lynch, but they're going to be the exception and one day may be extinct entirely. Will there be a single starting runningback who is 31 years old in 2025? How about 30 or even 29 years old by 2030?

The yellow first down line should ABSOLUTELY be on this list. Do you know how many kids go to their first live game and are perplexed by the line not being there. It works so seamlessly it’s natural to assume it’s as real as the players are. It has made the game so much easier to watch for new viewers.

Congrats on the milestone! keep bringing the great content!

I thought I had see em all myself I love these videos thank you issac
