DVD Reviews of NFL Films - Super Bowl XXXVIII - New England Patriots Championship Video
DVD Review: Terrific summary of an absolutely epic season
Summary: 5 Stars
In 2003 the New England Patriots were coming off a letdown 9-7 season when they failed to make the playoffs after winning Super Bowl XXXVI the year before. Within days of the start of the season they released veteran defensive leader Lawyer Milloy as a budgetary concern; he signed with division rival Buffalo and helped (along with fellow ex-Pat Drew Bledsoe) to humiliate his old squad to the tune of 31-0 on Opening Day.
And from there things got difficult. 4 weeks into the season they were a .500 team after losing to the Redskins (STEVE SPURRIER'S REDSKINS)...and from there the Patriots were absolutely perfect, winning every time they took the field.
The record itself is impressive enough...but the games that made up the 2003 season for the Patriots were the kinds of games that you expect to see a good team play over a period of years, not months within the same season. The overtime victory at Miami resulting from Tom Brady's big pass play following Olindo Mare's uncharacteristic field goal inaccuracy (those darn baseball infields)...the Monday Night Football battle in Denver featuring Coach Bill Belichick's called deliberate safety deep into the game calculating on his defense's chances of regaining both field position and the ball for Brady, who again proves a master of pinpoint passing accuracy...Adam Vinatieri providing a glimpse of tensions yet to come as he misses chip shot field goals in Reliant Stadium versus Houston (before winning that game in overtime)...the "one for the ages" goalline stand against the Colts in Indianapolis in a game of "Can you top this?" big plays that ultimately decided the home field advantage for the rematch in the playoffs...the snow in Gillette Stadium and the joy of the fans in the Miami rematch...the 31-0 "paying of the Bills" sealed with a defensive interception in the end zone in the game's dying moments...and that doesn't even cover the domination of the Tennessee Titans in subzero Foxboro and the devastation of the Colts in the conference championship game (Ty Law's three interceptions, Indy's lack of experience in the punting game coming home to roost, Tom Brady doing JUST ENOUGH to win -again), NOR does it mention the most exciting Super Bowl played since...well, since the last time the Patriots were in it two games previously.
The 2003 Patriots may not be the best team in the history of the NFL (but I'd hate to have to put together a team to top them)...but their season was just unbelievably enjoyable and an absolute marketing dream for the NFL.
The special features are terrific, too. The people complaining about the "edited" broadcast of the game are the same folks who weren't at all satisfied about there being not even an edited broadcast included on the 2001 Patriots DVD; if you saw the game anywhere else in the world other than the US (and possibly Canada), this is the broadcast you would have seen. It serves its purpose; all the action is included. The pre- and post-game analysis and press conference footage (especially from Media Day) are entertaining enough as well. I don't think the NFL could do a better job while still putting out a single-disc package with a managable price.
If you're a fan of pro football in America ("A special game...a unique game" in the words of John Facenda), you will be hard-pressed to recall a single NFL campaign as exciting from start-to-finish as this one. If you're not an NFL fan, this DVD is definitely worth your time as it basically includes every aspect of all that makes the game as popular as it is.
