[@ronaldisrow8055]

The Brady killer if I’m not mistaken

[@irar4665]

@RomanoLemm Eli did raise his game playoff time, but THIS was NOT 1 of those times! I hate to use luck as an explanation for anything, but when you get lucky 6 times on the same drive, then thats where I'll use it! He could/should have been picked off on the drive 4 times, the Asante Samuel drop being the closest. And this Tyree play has the luck of him escaping the rush-not 1 of Mannings strengths - and then the improbable catch (do give some credit to Tyree for holding on , but hes not catching that 8 out of 10 times ) If you want to point to Eli raising his game playoff time, Super Bowl 46 is a better example. (and I like both Mannings- both are credits to the game, and are fun to listen to)

I was in a sports book when that play happened. That place literally EXPLODED with cheers. Great memory. Watching the replays here, if Tyree had tried to catch it with just his hands, the defender likely would have knocked it loose. I hadn't realized he was able to get a hand on the ball. Truly one of the best plays in NFL history.

Also seeing the hits they took and how fast they play even though it looks so slow sometimes. I just really appreciate what the Manning's were and are still able to contribute to this sport.

[@mig50cc]

I've been a NYG fan since 1985. The fact that I have to constantly hang my hat on "yeah but we got two SB's against Brady" whenever I get together with family and friends (who are either Cowboys, Eagles, Packers or 49ers fans) is one of many things that speak to Brady's greatness. As much as I want to deny it, Brady is the GOAT......even though we're 2-0 against him in Super Bowls 😉

[@df6148]

I just remember feeling bad for Junior Seau. He was the heart and soul of the chargers for so long. He retired, came back out of retirement to play with the pats and reunite with Rodney Harrison, a Former Charger and fan favorite for his hard hits. For chargers fans, the saving grace of losing the AFC CHAMPIONSHIP game vs the Patriots prior to this game… was that Junior would FINALLY get his ring after 20 years. But in one play…the game changed and it was on nine other than Rodney Harrison himself. It stung because they were great friends. And to make it worse, Junior was the one who decided to stay with the Call in man defense with no coverage over the top on the final TD. Rodney wanted to audible out and Junior…who’s known for going with instincts like Troy Polamalu…decided to stay with the play that coach called. In the End the Chargers lost. The Patriots lost. Rodney Lost. Junior lost. And then we lost Junior (RIP) 😢 and eventually even the Chargers themselves (To La).

[@greenmirror5555]

this is huge part of the story!

[@pianoman9421]

Look, Eli's escape was miraculous, and Tyree's catch was unspeakably incredible. Even as a Patriots fan, I deeply appreciated the play in the moment. The determination, the grit--that Giants team was special, and they deserved the win. But the O-line absolutely mugged the Patriots defenders on that play. There are at least four flagrant holding calls; they were actually choking out defenders as they pursued Eli. I get letting the players play in the SB and most people will just call this bellyaching, but that absolutely should have been called back. Just look at 2:13; #60 is actually choking Richard Seymour, #69 manhandles Green from behind, #96 (I think that's Adalius Thomas but not sure) is clearly getting held...in that second, I think the only Pats defender who isn't held is Vrabel (#50). Then look at 2:16. Seymour is getting choked out and facemasked (#93). At 2:19, the same is true for Thomas. It's an amazing play by Eli and Tyree, but as much as people complain about the Tuck Rule--that was a correct interpretation of the rule at the time, even if the rule was BS (I agree that it was). This was a bad no-call on the same order as the non-interference calls against the Saints in recent years.

[@jturner2577]

Objectively it should have been a booth review.

[@pianoman9421]

So at the time--and now--you would've have a booth review for a lack of a penalty flag. But I agree with you that the NFL should institute that for flagrant situations like this. This play determined a championship and unfortunately it should have been called back.@@jturner2577

The Giants dodged several bullets in that game: 4th down conversion, near interception by Samuel, near sack and near whistle from the ref in the helmet-catch play, Tyree's ball nearly touching the ground which might've knocked the ball loose, and two Brady hail marys at the end that were barely incomplete.

There's no way the sports press doesn't coin that catch the Hat Trick." I even sent letters to ESPN and ABC Sports but no one bit, so I'm left to keep that gem to myself.

[@donsolos]

You say helmet catch and every true fan knows what you are talking about. You say hat trick and I think of soccer/hockey. Helmet catch is much better

[@a1superfantastic]

@@donsolos Of course everyone knows it by helmet catch now because it's been used for 15 years. I just dislike it because it lacks imagination. Most of the time, the sports press likes to use alliteration or irony to coin a new term for a play or drive, and like the Immaculate Reception, it's often a play on words. Hat Trick works in the same vein: in the context of the Super Bowl no one is going to think of hockey any more than Immaculate Reception is going to make anyone think of the Bible.
