Any doubt?

3-5-NYG 44 (1:15) (Shotgun) 10-E.Manning pass deep middle to 85-D.Tyree to NE 24 for 32 yards (37-R.Harrison).

Manning somehow escapes, Tyree catches the ball against his helmet with Harrison on his back, the drive continues.

One of the best plays in super bowl history
 
It will definitely get listed with the best plays in Super Bowl history; nearly Immaculate Reception level.

 
I thought Steve Smith was just as awesome. His first down catch at the end was a thing of beauty. Getting out of bounds after gaining the tough 2 extra yards was like a 10 year vet. He had some other key catches too.

Steve Smith had a couple of slip ups, but was key all night.Boss' 43-yard catch to setup the 1st TD seemed to be the first time the NE DEF looked like it was loosening up. That was a great heads up play by Eli and Boss.Eli was really very good.

I was impressed by that too. Smith sure has come on in the playoffs.
 
Thinking back, that missed interception by Samuel at the sideline on the play before the Tyree catch was huge too. If I'm not mistaken that was intended for Tyree too and Eli was yapping about Tyree breaking off the route. What a difference a play makes.

 
It kills me that I am going to have to see that play for the rest of my life!

NE's D should be ashamed after playing a good 3 quarters, they let the Giants go up and down the field in the 4th quarter.

Another vote for Steve Smith, as he was great start to finish. A Trojan who is not overrated

I'm not going to start a crusade here, but how the hell don't they at least LOOK at the replay? That was a booth call, it should have been -immediate-.

I didn't think it hit the ground, Tyree did a great job of holding the ball up the entire time so that never became an issue..Truly an incredible catch, Tyree must have :rolleyes: hand strength.
 
I don't think it hit the ground either. Waiting for a replay, surprised actually that it hasn't been shown yet.

Yeah, me too. I'm beginning to think I saw something that wasn't there with some of the other comments I've seen.But tell me honestly...at game speed, did you think that it was a clear-cut catch, or should they have taken a couple minutes to check?I'm not arguing the validity of the play, just questioning the replay booth's (lack of) call here.

No doubt, play of the game was Boss' 45-yard catch to get the Giants into scoring position. Biggest play of the game easily.

At game speed and on the replays they showed at the time, I thought it was a clear catch. I thought he may have bobbled and maybe the tip touched the ground, but didn't see it when watching the initial replays.

They showed a replay from the side angle during the game right after the catch which certainly answered any question I had about it hitting the ground - it didn't look like it did.
 
As prep for today, instead of the usual pre-game bs, I watched my DVR copy of Super Bowl XXV...Giants-Bills. Once again, I marveled at the great play made by Mark Ingram, eluding 5-7 tacklers to make a key first down.

As great as that play was, this one tops it from start to finish.

SUPER BOWL CHAMPS, BABY!!!!!!!

 
The nose of the ball hit the ground but it never moved in his hands.

The other odd part of the play was that Tyree lands right on the defensive player and doesn't seem "down" when the replay cuts off. Would like to see the full play again tomorrow, because at some point the ball did come out.

His shoulders both hit the ground before the ball came out. I jokingly said to my son, "See he even got pinned and held on to the ball."

While the play will go down in history for obvious reasons (including the fact that it was simply amazing and visually stunning), the real play of the game was the fumble on the handoff and where Bradshaw manhandled the Patriot that landed on the ball.Coming after the INT, that could have really sent the Giants reeling. In my opinon, that was THE PLAY of the game. Not as sexy...but without that play, there isn't a Tyree catch in my opinon because the entire complexion of the game would have changed.I realize I will be in the minority...

Decades from now, during the Super Bowl reviews that always precede the game, we'll be watching that play. I'm a little surprised it was only 32 yards. Watching it the first time, it seemed like it was more than that.
 
When the 'Cuse is in the house, oh my god, oh my god!

Tyree, Boss (an audible alum :goodposting: ), and Steve Smith all came up big despite having some "oops" moments earlier in the game.

Good call. I don't know how in the world the Giants came away with the ball after the Patriots CLEARLY landed on the fumble.
 
That Manning-Tyree play is going to be on every Super Bowl highlight reel until the end of time. That will be their immortailty.

They rolled the guy over and took the ball away.
 
Play of the game? When is the last superbowl play that was THAT impressive? In terms of sheer physical probability combined with when it happened in the game. Just for Eli to escape a killer sack was amazing - to then throw a perfect strike, and have one of the most impressive catches you will EVER see?

When was the last play like this? Has there been something since "the catch" like this (and I dont mean missed FGs, or guys stopped at the one foot line)

Touche.So, are we going back to Swan/Stallworth? I can't tell you when in the games their amazing catches took place.What other Superbowl plays are this high? Norwood missing is up there, albeit a negative not a positive. You have to go a long way back for anything close, and Norwood is getting on 20 freakin' years ago.

Might have taken a couple looks available to them and decided it wasn't worth even wasting time on. From the side angles I've since seen on ESPN HD, it never hit the ground.

You know how you see clips of certain things over the years from games.........you will see this clip. You witnessed The Catch, The Emaculate Reception, that type of play last night.That was so huge. He looked sacked, he comes out of it and heaves it up......then, Tyree makes just as if not more of a remarkable play then Eli Manning did to catch and hold onto that ball.Unbelieavable, I am surprised even this morning that Manning wasn't sacked and that Tyree held onto that ball.

The int was on him though. Even though the pass was on him quickly, the pass was perfect and he should have caught it, but making it a pick was bad. The sideline play was a great play and a great throw by Eli.Samuel not picking the ball off after Eli made a pad throw (or Tyree shortened his route) was bigBoss' catch was hugeHow about the Toomer "push off" play? Very bigOf course the Tyree catch after Eli broke free.Fumble by Eli and Bradshaw that I was certain was lost but Bradshaw wrenched it back. While the entire defensive line deserves many credits for pressure the two plays that stood out to me were the Tuck forced fumble and on the last drive the Alford sack was HUGE and ended the game IMO. With 3 TO's NE could have hit a couple of 15 yard plays and positioned themselves for a FG, but the sack took the wind out of them and put them in hail mary mode.

I watched over and over on a 65" tv in super slow mo and 11-11 said it did not touch the ground.

The Titans-Rams tackle short of the end zone to end the game comes to mind. But this play was incredible.
