The Levitating Leap was incredible. But I was amazed watching that play last night. How Tyree managed to keep that ball secure against his helmet with a defenders arm in between was unbelievable. These two plays would be 1a and 1b in my book.
Hey that play was a good one but not nearly as exciting and remarkable as the escape by Eli and the Tyree one hand and Helmet catch with Harrison all over him and the ball. Nice rac by Ingram though. Bigtime play!
Outa them plays I would say the Mike Jones tackle was a big play that was right there if not better.Good call!
That play is not ever to be spoken of :bengalsfan:What made this play so special was the degree of difficulty from both QB and WR. All of those plays were huge, but this stands out even more.
Eh, it only prevented overtime - the Rams would not have lost on that play.
Remember that year that sorry ### Giants team beat the supposed all mighty Patriots? That one guy had a great catch.
Someone posted "The Immacuhelmet Reception", which I think is pretty "catchy"
eta: It's probably not the most important play in SB history. You have to reserve that for a game ending - winning play because if Tyree doesn't make the catch, there's the chance of another play succeeding. But certainly it was one of the most exciting and memorable, and I'm glad to have been witness (via TV, of course.)
Tyree will no doubt be forever remembered for that, just as Dwight Clark is for his "catch".Incredible indeed.
Gee imagine that.
I agree as a Redskins fan, but objectively speaking I'm not sure it's the best. It's certainly in the top 5 though.
I can't disagree. It's also especially special because neither guy was particularly known for what he did on that play: Eli's no scrambler, and Tyree is probably less known going into yesterday's game than three other WR's on that team. Two superb individual performances at a critical time of the game on a game-winning drive. It doesn't get better than that.
What else is impressive is that while there was a lot of coverage downfield, Tyree was manned up and only one defender was around him - had another gotten there even at the end, a slight swat of the ball likely would have dislodged it. Eli's ability to recognize and then throw a perfect ball... wow.You know, Manning has really thrown the ball so much better these past few weeks... I dont mean just results,but he is so much more accurate with much tighter spirals and less ducks than ever in his career. He's been throwing a beautiful ball and that had never been Eli until this stretch.Eli Manning gets the Brett Favre stamp of approval for spinning out of the defenders grasp twice and heaving a pass into heavy coverage for a ridiculous completion.Tyree's catch. Unbelievable.

At least Eli did it on 3rd down while trailing on a final drive. 
He looks more confident. That's the difference. He truly has "come of age".What else is impressive is that while there was a lot of coverage downfield, Tyree was manned up and only one defender was around him - had another gotten there even at the end, a slight swat of the ball likely would have dislodged it.

As well as your other post on this catch. Not only was it a great play, but the catch seemed to defy gravity, being jostled around on his helmet in mid air with defenders trying to sat it away. It reminded me of the Tyrone Prothro catch that won an ESPY for Best Play and it wasn't even a big game.
Please stop with this madness. It was a lucky ### catch. A great catch, amazing in fact, but luck had a lot to do with it.
Go to the NY Post website, they had a pretty clear pic of it yesterday.

Sour grapes, dude.
Many of the greatest plays in football history saw a bit of luck, so how is this one any different?Please stop with this madness. It was a lucky ### catch. A great catch, amazing in fact, but luck had a lot to do with it.
No.
best play in super bowl history? not even close to top 10. my best chicago bears memory? yes
Why am I sour? Im happy he caught it. Im just realistic. Im also not in the new school thing that everything has to be the greatest of alllll tiiiiiiime!!!! I swear to God people today have the shortest memories of all time!Sour grapes, dude.Please stop with this madness. It was a lucky ### catch. A great catch, amazing in fact, but luck had a lot to do with it.
Dude, honestly, it was one of the greatest of all time. And that not only comes from Giants fans and footballguy posters either....listen to the experts, ex-pros, coaches.....everyone is saying it. Open your eyes.Why am I sour? Im happy he caught it. Im just realistic. Im also not in the new school thing that everything has to be the greatest of alllll tiiiiiiime!!!! I swear to God people today have the shortest memories of all time!Sour grapes, dude.
Manning escaping was skill. The throw was a complete toss up, the catch was insane, but hardly indicative of Tyree's normal ability. Please don't act like I am the only one who thinks it had a lot of luck involved. That play earlier where Toomer caught the ball near the sideline and had to barely drag his feet in was 3 times as difficult.Im not trying to take anything away from it. It was a spectacular play, but hardly the best I have ever seen.Many of the greatest plays in football history saw a bit of luck, so how is this one any different?Please stop with this madness.

That's why I voted for calling it "Manning's Miracle" ...
