So I had this crazy dream last night, that David Tyree made this crazy catch for the Seahawks with a minute left in the game and then the Seahawks tried to throw the ball from the 1 yd line even though they had Lynch in the backfield? Wait something along those lines actually happened?!
That was an insane ending to a great game. I had horrible flashbacks to the the 2 NYG superbowls on that catch. Was trying to wrap my brain around how a team could lose 3 superbowls because of a 1 in a million catch. And then the Butler did it! What a play, one of the greatest plays in SB history. I expect to watch that play about 500 times today. A little hung over, but damn I am still pumped.
Those were 2 good throws and catches. Not the same as that Seahawks catch
The Tyree play was extremely similar. Take off your Eli Manning jersey and try looking at things objectively for once dude
I disagree. They're a little similar in the "holy shit, did that really just happen?" factor. But Tyree's catch was a great play. He caught a pass with a guy hanging all over him. People talk about it like he had stick-um on his helmet. He didn't. He just out-muscled Rodney Harrison. Last night's play was a lucky ricochet.
I agree that he out muscled Harrison...but he used his helmet to hold it! And I think the whole play itself had a certain amount of luck involved. Eli was dead in the water in the pocket. He makes a miraculous escape to elude a sack and heaves it up to Tyree. Eli is not necessarily known as Mr Elusive in the pocket. And of course both came in the waning moments of the 4th with the game on the line. I think if Seattle won, those two plays would be linked together forever.
I agree that they'd be linked together. Hell, the Tyree catch is linked with Manningham catch when the there's nothing at all lucky about the Manningham one. It was just Eli making one of the great throws of all-time. But as for Tyree, I don't get why you say "he used his helmet to hold it." That's all he could have done. And that's harder than simply using your hands. I dunno. I just don't think anything about it was lucky on Tyree's end. Even Eli's escape wasn't lucky. Trust me, I know he's not Mr. Elusive. But in the biggest situations, shouldn't making plays you don't normally make be complimented instead of being dismissed as lucky? I think so.
One thing though....there did appear to be some offensive holds by the Giants on that play that weren't called. So if I'm gonna concede anything about that play as being "lucky", that's what I'll concede. But the worst are the people that say Eli should have been called "down in the grasp." FUCK THAT. Tackle the man. But yeah....there might have been some holds.
Dude, the juggler may be right. EVERYTHING about Eli/David Tyree was lucky.

Whoa I never thought about it like that! See I thought it was a great play. Like the ball was in the air and Tyree could have made play and so could have Harrison....and it was Tyree that made it. But the way you capitalized "EVERYTHING" makes me rethink the way I've thought about this play over the last seven years.
Eli/Tyree in my opinion is certainly a lucky play. (Not as lucky however as that catch last night!) They showed the Giants play over and over yesterday and there was not 1 time where I didn't feel it was lucky as could be. Makes me want to capitalize it too.

Well to each their own I guess. It's totally subjective. I can see the elements of the play that some might call "lucky". But the actual catch? I'd call it "hard" or "difficult" before I'd call it "lucky." But enough about Tyree's catch. Let's get back to that disastrous final sequence for Seattle. It was like a bad play I'd make in Madden. "I bet a slant will work here!" And then I get picked off. Also, that was a great play by Butler. Not every DB, even one that knew the play was coming, would have reacted fast enough to make a play. And ya gotta catch it. He he collides with the receiver and doesn't make the catch. Then it's third down and things could have been very different.

Agree and like the comparison to a bad play call made by a gamer.
Yes, it was a great play. But is Eli known for his elusiveness? He should have been sacked but NE made him look like Randall Cunningham on that play. Is Tyree even in the league anymore? He was, at the time, the unknown hero like NE cb Butler was last night. Right?

Funny I didnt know what play that was going to be but a few seconds in I remembered it. That was Brucie he was escaping from to make it even more impressive. Nice!

I remember that game. The Bills had a 24 point 1st quarter and sacked Cunningham like 7 times. That play was like half their passing yards. That play is all anyone will remember from that though. Fantastic play.

Bonami Jones? On around the horn made a good point. I'm paraphrasing: "you can't confuse a calculated risk like throwing with 6 seconds left in the first half with just plain stupidity like not running the ball at the end of the game."

You're right. Those involved a lot of skill on the part of the receivers. The Kearse catch was dumb luck. Butler broke up the play and then the ball dropped down right onto Kearse.
You see me empty, Sir, do not pause and inquire, simply assume and refill.

It really was an incredible catch by that kid butler. Defensive backs are defensive backs because they are either to short and/or they can't catch a cold, let alone a pass.
9 times out of 10 that is an incomplete pass and it's 3rd and goal from the 1. Play of a lifetime for that kid. I doubt we ever really hear his name again.

Dude, the juggler may be right. EVERYTHING about Eli/David Tyree was lucky.
I think his problem is more of an attitude issue than addiction, but it can't hurt.

This game used to be nothing but blow outs. 6 of the last 8 have been decided by less than 7 points. The game is actually good.
9 times out of 10 that is an incomplete pass and it's 3rd and goal from the 1. Play of a lifetime for that kid. I doubt we ever really hear his name again.
