Hes arguing for the sake of arguement. CLEARLY it was a great catch to everyone besides him.

[delatlanta1281]

The catch was great, and the throw was probably better. It was thrown where only his man could get it, and no one else. Just over the finger tips of the defender, and just in reach of Holmes. That was one of the best game ending catches (if not the best) in superbowl history.... And I hate pitt.

Wait.... isn't that what flip said? The catch was great (it was a great catch) the throw was probably better (it was).
Where is the arguement?

[joshh]

You just obviously have a deap hatred for the steelers. And are denying the fact that the throw and catch was amazing. Steelers are a great franchise in football.

Get off your high horse.

No Philly boy, I said the catch would have been made by any reciever and wasn't all that impressive. Which is true.
I said nothing about the throw. It was a perfect throw.
Yes they are.
Sucking yet?

Watch it or my tool will wined up in your mouth.

Oh yes, let's add in more qualifiers. Add enough and it will be the best catch of any superbowl, under 1 minute, right side of the endzone, white shoes on the reciever...

No it wasn't. Any reciever would have made that catch. And he wasn't hardly moving.
Luck...LMFAO...you have never played the game obviously. The Harris catch required much more skill. At his feet going about 3/4 full speed.

Oh yeah.... Funny thing is, those werent Superbowl catches. So what do YOU know about football? Next time PIttsburgh plays Oakland, or SF plays dallas in the Superbowl, let me know. K? Thanks. The immaculate reception wasnt even that nice of a catch. It was illegal, and it was lucky. This was a skillful catch.

Easy...
Immaculate reception
Franco Harris on the run at his feet. For the winner....
There's always the the catch as well.

I cant view it at work, but thanks for the link.
1) That ball was thrown beautifully. Did you see #20 jump to swat the ball, with it barely out of fingers reach?
2) Did you see the extension?
3) Did you see him keep his toes down, while starting to be pushed?

Seems like good proof of a catch to me. I defy you to find me a link of another superbowl winning catch, better than that.

Here's the video so you that think that was such a special catch can review it and see that any reciever caould have done the same.

[jflip2002]

Explain please.

That proves you don't know football...

Exactly. What made it even better was the switch to the right corner of the end-zone from the prior down.
Perfect pass, perfect catch.
