The catch that saved the Super Bowl.

Tied for most clutch catch in Super Bowl history with the Tyree helmet catch. As much as that pains me to say.. pats fan here. Objectively they are equivalent

>Edelman gets all this praise for a luck catch.
>Jones doesn't get shit for what is possibly the most truly skilled sideline grab of the NFL.

>>74138922
The pats actually had a lot of catches they needed to save their Super Bowl.

>1st and 10 versus a 3rd and 5th in the final drive of the super bowl
sorry but tyree's always wins

>>74138995
Giants would have just converted on the next play anyway, the Pats defense was determined to choke that drive

>>74138944
Jones made a Superbowl winning catch then the coaching staff pissed it away with horrible play calling

>>74138941
Tyree is better because of the Eli autism it took just to get the throw off

>>74138922
But not really, it was on a first down, it wasn't a do-or-die play like Trey Flowers sack on Ryan. He could have dropped it, the clock would have stopped, and Brady still had two or three more tries.

It was still an incredible catch, but other plays that game were more clutch because they simply had to happen or it was game over.

>>74138941
Coming from a Pats fan, the Tyree catch was the greater catch. Edelman's catch may have been a crazier catch, but the Tyree catch meant more.That was the play that broke the back of the undefeated patriots. Someone wins the superbowl ever year, but there has only ever been 1 team with the chance of going 19-0, and that catch stopped it.

To me, the 4th and 1 where Brandon Jacobs (I think, it's been a long time) was able to keep the drive going with a second effort push was also big. The Pats defense had a shot at ending the game right there and sealing the 19-0 record but ended up being unable to get off the field...it came back to bite them.

Gimme a quick rundown

>>74138922
How boss were those refs to get that call right in real time also.... It was the falcunts challenging that and wasting their final timeout that very well may have cost them the game

>>74138922
Edelman never had full control of the ball at any point, so not a football move. Pass is incomplete.

coming from a pats fan

>>74138922
this only proves that brady is nothing without his receivers.

So amazing that even Joe Buck sounded enthusiastic.

>>74138944
Wasn't really any different than Santonio Holmes' catch to win SB43

>>74147491
You mean he's not as good as the other QB's that throw AND catch the ball?

Thank you, John Madden.

If he didn't make that catch the game was basically over. Either way that catch was the turning point

>>74138944

no one gives a shit about teams that lose super bowls

The Pats had two do-or-die plays, and that was the two two-point conversions. Had either of those failed, there wouldn't have been a comeback.

In total, it took a lot of things to come together for the comeback to happen, including the turn-over. It's not possible to give one or two players the credit for the comeback; it was a team effort and every player played their part in it.

If he doesn't make that catch then it's 2nd and 10 from NE 35 with 2:30 to go and 2 timeouts.

Hightower strip sack was the turning point

If we're going to go that far

You now remember the dropped Asante Samuel interception that would have sealed the game.

You now remember the four fucking defenders that had a chance to sack Eli big on the helmet catch play.

I thought the momentum shift happened on Hightower's strip sack on 3rd and 1. A more important play IMO.

The *catch

that saved the Super Bowl

>>74149025
why have you circled his hand, friend?

>>74149025
He had control of the before it touched the ground. You do not know the catch rule.

>>74149025
Regardless of the rule, his hand is under the ball and a non-autist would consider it a catch.
