Was this the greatest catch in superb owl history?

Not even top 5

Vs. 3 defenders, has to adjust his arms to go between the legs of one of them, and make the catch from the ground with a guy on top of him: Greatest catch but not the most important. This came on 1st down.

>>74110838
yup flag checks out

stay irrelevant

santonio holmes catch steelers-cardinals

>>74110838
Let's hear them faggot

Depends on definition of great

>>74110906
Helmet catch
Holmes catch to win the sb
Kearses catch
Manningham
He'll even Julios catch ytd was better

Julio had a better catch the drive before

>>74110838
*Leans into mic*

WRONG

>>74110845
Not to mention it was tipped up by a falcon so it was supposed to be an interception.

>>74110819

Not even the best catch in the game.

>>74110819
yes, beats helmet-stickum even

>>74110952
1. Only possible competition
2. Not as difficult to make
3. Lost the game, so bfd
4. Not as difficult to make
5. Lost the game
LEAF BTFO

Definitely one of the most amazing catches

it was a scrappy play and it's amazing he had the presence of mind and mental speed to locate the ball and snatch it as it was lying in anti-gravity for a split second, while getting dragged under

Julio's catch was more of a freak athlete straightforward play, indicative of his incredible athleticism but not necessarily as reality-defying

what a game though

>>74110819
It may be one of the greatest catches in NFL history, and I hate the fucking pats

>>74110819
it was one of the worst challenges in superb owl history.

>>74110819
I've only watched one super bowl, but yeah it was pretty fkn good.

>>74111152
Literally what the fuck were they thinking moment

Shoulda saved that TO for the last drive desu

>>74111305
throw+catch helmet is probably better, but only catch part Edelgod is better

>>74110819
Julio's catch was more impressive

>>74111119
"Lost the game" shouldn't matter, that doesn't make a great catch suddenly a not great catch.

>tfw had to work and missed the game and /spee/'s reaction to it

Honestly fuck the game, I just wish I could have been here with you guys when it happened.

>>74111100
It's a toss up between helmet & this one, both from difficulty, unpredictable and outcome on the game.

However for me "The Catch" refers to the winning touchdown pass caught by San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Dwight Clark and thrown by quarterback Joe Montana. The play occurred late in the 1982 National Football Conference (NFC) Championship Game between the Dallas Cowboys and San Francisco 49ers, and enabled the 49ers to defeat the Cowboys 28–27 and win the NFC Championship. The Catch is widely regarded as one of the most memorable events in National Football League (NFL) history. The game represented the end of the Cowboys' domination in the NFC since the conference's inception in 1970, and the beginning of the 49ers' rise as an NFL dynasty in the 1980s.

I would imagine most folks are too young to know this?

>>74110819
I dont know man, that Julio catch made me slap my dick when they said he wasnt out of bounds.

>>74111424
Nice ctrl+v skills bro

>>74111451
better than linking to wikipedia, no?

thought that tall black man catch looked more impressive while this one looked more like luck than anything

t. absolutely clueless about the sport

The knee jerk overreactions to this owl are pants on head retarded.

>First ever sb that went to ot
>19 points scored in last qtr to tie the game

Get the fuck outta here. It was an instant classic and will be remembered as one of the greatest sbs ever. How mad are you at the patriots right now? I want you to tell me. I dont think im ever gonna get tired of these tears

>>74111119
>lost the game
Retarded argument to be honest

>>74111512
if the ref would have made the right call on the horse collar tackle by the 49er's player on the Cowboys

the catch would have been forgotten

>>74111492

Eh

I've watched NFL football my whole life and this was unironically the greatest comeback of all time

given the context too, I was just in awe, felt religious, went into it hoping the Falcons would topple the Pats but by the 4th quarter I knew the Pats needed to win

Nope. This is the greatest catch in history, it was the game winning catch

>>74111543
>Two halfs of each team dominating the other makes for a great game
>anyone who is objective about this game and isn't a pats dickrider gets told "hurr durr how mad are you"

>>74111577
nice feelings post bro. it was a good comeback but it's really not even the best Patriots super bowl, let alone the best owl of all time.

>>74111317
exactly.

fucking poor coaching, with like 100 different cameras everywhere you'd think a coach would be able to see a replay. and it wasn't a god damn throwaway of a timeout. those things matter

2nd but damn close

>>74110819
It was a good catch, but it came about due to a bad play (that ball should have either been picked or knocked down), which eliminates it from contention imo.

>>74111353
It does matter though. Otherwise Endy Chavez would have the greatest catch in baseball history

>>74112642
eli did most of the work

and tyree was out of the league a year later

probably the most overrated catch of all time

that and the 1 handed odell catch

not the greatest catch but a great catch in an unbroken chain of improbable plays that brought about an improbable win

Helmet catch was on 3rd and 5, it was pretty much as dire as you could get.

It beat the post season comeback by 6, it beat the previous SB record by 15 (was 10)

1. Helmet catch
2. Edelman catch
3. Santonio holmes
4. Max Mcgee superbowl 1
5. Lynn Swann

Ignoring the fact that they lost, the Julio catch is better than the Holmes catch

>>74116451

Jones and Beckham devalue their own ridiculous catches because they're expected of them.

>>74111424

The Catch was truly a great play but OP was asking about receptions that occurred in the Super Bowl.

>>74114276
Swann was falling but he didn't have three other defenders arms and legs in the way. From a degree of difficulty, Edelman's catch was much higher since it was also a reception off a tipped-by-the-DB pass.

>>74115646
Sports have no historical significance beyond shit like black gloves '68.
