Greatest Super Bowl play of all time?

[Hasselbeck]

I love how he looks to see if his feet are inbounds after he watches the ball fly out of bounds.

It would have been a tough catch, but I think if he caught it he would have came down with it and the Pats would be 19-0.

It's a game of inches.. like the great speech says:

How would the Cards have scored 7 points if Harrison intercepted the ball and fallen to the ground?

Quit being an over dramatic twat.

Yeah it was a great play but it wasn't even the best one of the game.

Holmes game winning catch>>>>>>>>>Harrison's return that didn't even put the game out of reach.



Yeah because prior to this play the Cardinals were marching up and down the field at will.

STFU.


LOL at that throw and catch being "easy" Ben actually said when he threw it that he thought he blew the game because he thought it was going to be picked off.


Ummm, no it's not. You're just getting your dick all twisted up about nothing.


How is that when it's not the first interception return for TD in Super Bowl history?


Harrison said it was an easy play to read because the Chargers actually ran the same play against them two weeks before for a TD.


Put a tampon in and quit bitching. No one is saying the play wasn't "great" it just wasn't the greatest play of the game and some feel the Tyree catch was better.

Thanks for being an ass hat once again.

It's a once in a lifetime moment because A) 100 yard INT return = longest INT return in super bowl history B) 100 yard INT return = longest play ever offense or defense in SB history. C) He's a fucking linebacker, they don't return TD's very often, 2 other linebackers returned one for a TD that entire season. D) When are we ever going to see Warner with 1st and 1 to score and he doesn't get 7 points? E) You will never, ever, in your lifetime see a 243 lbs linebacker jump a route and take it the distance, break several tackles, hurdle a man, get dragged down just as he's running out of gas and crossing the goaline, all while the clock expires during the fucking SB. Won't happen.
Holmes catch while amazing, wasn't the first or the last time you'll see an amazing last minute game winning TD. Tyree's catch didn't win the game, nor did it put points on the board. Hell, Plaxico caught the game winner with :35 second left. While also being an amazing catch, it has less baring on the outcome of that game than Harrison's 14 point swing.

But they do do it. So it's not "once in a life time".

Devin Hesters KO return for a score had never been done before either.....

D) When are we ever going to see Warner with 1st and 1 to score and he doesn't get 7 points?

It's happened...

What are next week's lottery numbers....

And even with this God like play....the Steelers STILL needed a last second touchdown catch to win the game...so explain to me again why this play "turned" the game so much in the Steelers favor?

Quit being an douche homer. Harrison made a great play. No one is saying he didn't. Holmes play in some people's opinion was a greater play because in the end it meant more. If Holmes drops that pass or Ben throws a pick like he thought he had when he let go of the football Harrison's play means nothing more than the Hester kick return. Holmes catch made Harrison's play matter at the end of it all.

The once in a lifetime part isn't simply a linebacker returning an int for a td, it's much more than that jeezus you are dense. It's once in a lifetime because we will never see again not in your lifetime nor mine, a play in the super bowl that was that significant again. A last minute TD equals 7 points. Awesome, it wins the game, amazing. This play was a never before seen 100 yard INT return, the longest in Super Bowl HISTORY...let me rephrase, that. This was the LONGEST PLAY OFFENSE OR DEFENSE in Super Bowl history, and it was done by a beastly linebacker as he broke tackles and rumbled the distance. What aren't you getting about this play? I don't understand why you would even argue that this is the kind of play you see a lot of. It's never been seen before, or since. I can completely accept ones opinion that this isn't the best play ever, or even if somebody didn't think it was top 5, that's fine. But to say this play happens all the time is fucking stupid. 3 other tds returned in that year, one for 89 yards...ONLY 1 for 100 yards in the Super Bowl. That shit doesn't happen. Pull your head out man.

It's happened...

Once. Only once from 1st and 1 to score, only once.

And even with this God like play....the Steelers STILL needed a last second touchdown catch to win the game...so explain to me again why this play "turned" the game so much in the Steelers favor?

OMG you are so stupid. Simple math bub. The final score was 27-23. Take 7 away from Pittsburgh, add 7 to the Cards what do you have? Hell add 3 to the Cards what do you have? What would have happend if Harrison didn't score? 27-23, take away 7 and the Steelers still lost that game. You are a dumbass right now, without that play the Steelers can't win the fucking game. It was a game changing play no matter how you slice it.

Here is the thing, IMO it's the greatest play ever and I'm disrespected like the Harrison play can't be considered by anybody as the best play ever. Obviously that's not the case, ask Steve Young, Dieon Sanders, and look at the many articles written about it. Just days later people were arguing if this was the best play ever, or if it were better than the Holmes catch. To each there own I guess. Not to take ANYTHING away from the Tyree catch or the Holmes TD, but to me the defensive play was more impressive. If you were going to tell me Holmes would have the game winning TD in that game I would have most likely said that's possible. If you were going to tell me Harrison is going to take a Warner INT 100 yards for a potential 14 point swing at any point of the game let alone to close out halftime I would have said hell no, that's just a retarded statement.

And now this article. So it's at the very least up there. I'm just defending the Harrison play because I really think the play was the best ever. I'm not arguing over the Holmes catch, why is that? I mean I'm a homer right? I honestly believe, Steeler fanhood aside, it was the best play ever.

I want to vomit reading this thread.

 

[packersfan4eva]

Couple things I gotta say:

1. How the fuck is Holmes's catch not on the list? It was the game-winning catch as he was falling out of bounds in tight coverage.

2. Tyree's catch should easily be #1.

Once. Only once from 1st and 1 to score, only once.

So it's possible it could have happened?

K thnx bai.

Already covered this....if Arizona scores don't you think that teh Steelers may change their play calling in the 2nd half to try and come back rather than working on nursing the lead? You can't assume the Cardinals score and the Steelers play out the rest of the game like they are up 10 points. What kind of retarded premise is that?

 

[Shayn•Da•Pain]

K thnx bai.

I just want to know when you've ever seen a 100 yard INT return for a touchdown from 1st and 1 to score, preventing a possible 3-7 points, and puting up 7 points to end the half in a Super Bowl before Harrison?

k thnx bai.

You can't assume anything actually. Fact of the matter is the Steelers needed Harrison's 10 to 14 point swing to win that game. You can't argue that. To argue that point would be to have an endless discussion on ifs this and ifs that, and nobody can be right.

Why do you have to associate me with MM? lol

I could care less about MM. Shit, FirstTimer's PSN name is MMFirstTimer, that cracks me up.

You and FirstTimer are always getting into it with me together, I don't think I've ever had a conversation on these forums with either one of you when the other didn't butt fuck their way into the conversation to side with your boyfriend.

 

[ram29jackson]

the Tyree and Harrison plays are both tops in the Superbowls recent history depending on how you define the ranking of them.

Generaly, I still prefer the Tyree play. it was in more desperate situation and it needed to happen for the possibilty of the upset to take place.


Harrison made a great play but in the end, Pitt was favored to win the game in the first place and they did haha.

Just adding another factor

I'm cool with that. Yeah I think the Tyree catch was absolutely amazing. I can't hate on anybody who wants to rank Tyree's catch #1. It's just not #1 on my list.

You can get baby aids.

I never said you were the baby aids of MM.

I said you have your penis in FirstTimers :bootyshake: or his in yours. Who's the pitcher and the catcher? You never can tell. You guys need to find another buddy to bring along in these little conversations so I can start using this :dance:

Never said I would have ever seen that...I was commented on Warner not scoring from the 1. It's happened before, so it's possible. That was my statement.

Nice try..but swing and a miss.

You can't assume anything actually.

Which is the entire fucking point. Every backer of Harrison's assumes that the game plays out exactly the same if Harrison scores or not or if Arizona scores. Which is retarded. It's not retarded however to make the rational inference that if Arizona scores or Harrison doesn't score that events in the 2and half would vary due to different playcalling based on time/score/situations being different. It's astounding that people haven't been able to grasp that yet.

Fact of the matter is the Steelers needed Harrison's 10 to 14 point swing to win that game.

There you go assuming again. You can't assume that because even if The Cardinals get 0,3, or 7 points on that drive events play out differently. At the end of it all though they needed Holmes points more because those points actually won the game. Sure Harrison's TD helped them be in position to win that game but without Holmes catch the Harrison play is simply a great play in a losing effort that means nothing in the long run...much like Hester's KO return.

 

[FirstTimer]

I could care less about MM. Shit, FirstTimer's PSN name is MMFirstTimer, that cracks me up.

Perhaps because I signed up for my PSN when I was at MM about 3 years ago and really have no reason to change it now. It's a PSN name people use it to find me and add me to play Modern Warfare. Woopty Doo.

Go away.

That Harrison play was SO BIG.. Santonio Holmes still won the Super Bowl MVP award.
