3 Games to Glory V

I own all five "3 Games to Glory" releases, and this one is no different from the others, meaning that it does NOT include the TV copies of the games. Instead, it has featurettes for all three games produced by NFL Films, so we're talking lots of close-up slow-motion footage, dramatic music, narration, interspersed audio from "mic'd up" players. Most of the audio is cuts from the Patriots radio broadcast. Although every single play from the post-season is chronicled in some form, including incomplete passes and rushes for no gain, it is very different from the TV broadcast, so if you're expecting to find the TV broadcasts of these three games you will be disappointed. The main feature for the Divisional round game (Houston) runs 53:17, the AFC Championship Game (Pittsburgh) runs 46:53, and Super Bowl LI (Atlanta) runs 1:10:27.The disc for Super Bowl LI does include a condensed version of the TV broadcast of the fourth quarter and overtime as a special feature. It offers two different audio tracks: one is the original Fox broadcast audio (Buck and Aikman), and the alternate audio track has Bob Socci, Trey Flowers, and James White providing commentary. This condensed quarter is done in the same fashion as the game replays that run on NFL Network each week during the season. It includes most but not all plays, and dead time is edited out (teams huddling, times when there is no "action").The featurettes are great to watch if you're a Patriots fan, and a fun way to relive the post-season run. So why only three stars? Because it would have been so easy to include the full TV broadcasts of the games, and even the All 22 footage. I can't imagine anyone purchasing this set would not be interested in this content, and many people would expect it to be on this release. This content is already available to NFL Game Pass paying subscribers, there is no excuse not to put it on the Blu-Ray as well.I have included pictures of the special features offered on each disc as this is lacking in the Amazon product details. The Blu-Ray discs are Region A encoded, so don't buy if in you're in Europe unless you have a Region-Free player.

I'm not really a PATS fan. But I do like football, and I like good football games. The Patriot's always give a show in the Super bowl.I was a little disappointed in the first video out....Super Bowl LI Champions... It did not capture the essence of the greatest comeback ever.This DVD does. It shows every play, and it captures the change of the fans and the players as this game goes from a blow-out win for the Falcons, to the greatest comeback in NFL history, and a win for the Patriots, in overtime. To the NFL's credit they even allowed a small segment where the fans can be heard booing Roger Goodell. (Well deserved IMO.)This is a must have for Patriot fans, or anyone who just loves football.

If you are a Patriot's Fan you will want this memento. I watched the extras first and they were very interesting and worth watching. The actual Super Bowl was unbelievable and something you needed to watch multiple times to believe what happened. Of all the Patriot games the Super Bowl had to be the most unbelievable game for.Patriot fans. I know some Atalanta fans that are still in disbelief and unable to watch the ending.The only thing missing is highlights from the season to show how the Patriots got to the Superbowl. Even without that, it's a fun watch for Patriot fans. My recommendation is to pay a little extra for the blue ray version, it's worth the extra for the sharper image and fewer disks.

All I really want to do is watch a football game. I read the reviews about how some of the plays were clipped in the presentation but I did not think it would be this bad. There is no sense of the pace and urgency of the game which defined the way these teams played. To add insult to injury, whatever time was "saved" with this crappy editing was lost with several slo-mo sequences of key players emoting in dramatic moments. And, of course, the unnecessary replays of a few big plays. The NFL further saw fit to saddle the production with a cheesy soundtrack. Its all hype and fluff with no actual feel of a football game. Its like the NFL made a video package for those who do not really like football...as if anyone else would buy a three disc set. This will be the last time I get burgled by Roger Goodell's operation.

This was bought for my mom so she can relive the exciting and surprising win of the super bowl.I have to say that this video is NOT like watching the actual tv broadcast, where you see the seeing the players and the field right in front of you.The plays move fast and there are a lot of scenes from above.it was nice that you can hear the some of the players miked up to hear conversations you wouldnt normally hear in the games each season.I think for the most part its ok.

The games are all there, but the plays start with close up snap of the ball. The lines are seldom shown and few instant replays. I thought I was getting the full network broadcast minus commercials, which would have made this purchase worthwhile. Instead you get this edited abortion that is not enjoyable to watch.

The physical DVD and packaging and stuff is just great. Unfortunately the actual insights and commentary of the program is kind of lame. I am a super Patriots fan...wear jerseys on game day, have the Patriots Flag on the lawn and such...but the content of this DVD is pretty low buck...I think just re-watching SB51 is better than watching this 3 DVD set. Felt kind of bad for Arthur Blank standing on the side in the 4th quarter wearing that "Boss Hi-Jack" suit . Just saying. The added features on the DVD are the best part.

FUN to relive those last 3 games! During the SB, we actually left the room for a while when the score was so bad, but then I heard much noise from the living room TV, so we ran back in to see the aftermath of Amendola's TD which turned everything around, so it was fun to see those moments we missed. Videos themselves are fine.

I'm a Patriot fan so I loved every minute of the games they played on the way to SB51.

Le DVD est arrivé plié deux fois et on refuse de me le remplacer!
