yup that was a bad ass catch! Being a Cardinals fan for many years I've seen Fitz make some amazing one handed catches but that was like a ONCE IN A LIFETIME CATCH :thumbsup

Totally crazy! I went back and watched it 4-5 times last night.

It was freakin' amazing!
I agree also about Fitz (Larry, not me!)...he's made many bad ass receptions!

shame i dont understand what is going on in this game with the egg, going to watch soccer

That guy practices making those kind of catches almost constantly, and in this instance it paid off for him and the Giants, in spades.

One helluva catch, no question.

He caught the ball. What don't you understand?

Its good but the Giants still need to step their game up IMO

Im saying definitely yes its

some guy caught a ball some other guy threw? That's pretty fucking amazing. where can I learn this skill?

I assume the flag was pass interference and the TD stood ??

yep

8chars

Was pretty sick!!

Even Cowboy fans were: "Damn! That was sick!!"

Twitter blew up seconds after that.


Just Dave

so that is the point of the game, to catch the egg? cool, congrats on the win, what a great catch! :thumbsup :winkwink:

He went all back, and stood on leg to finish td, crazy

Not to take anything away from his catch, but can we get an investigation into the amount of glue on his gloves?!

Hahaha, I was thinking this last night too! But really, an amazing catch.

Its a great catch, but most people don't know that receivers gloves have a special coating on the palm, making them extremely tacky. Thats what allowed him to snatch it out of the air and not lose it in spite of how fast its spinning. I see some people using them for weight lifting sometimes as fingerless gloves are a bitch when using straps.

Over on BloggingTheBoys, a lot of Cowgirls fans were saying Beckham should have been flagged for offensive pass interference.

They claim it was obvious he "pulled" Carr down. And I'm like, "with what, the back of his forearm?"

Shame the Giants couldn't hold on. As an Eagles fan, it would have been nice to be a game up on Dallas heading into their Turkey Day match up.

caught it with THREE fingers!

Too bad the giants took a shit in the 2nd half

There was another great one handed catch tonight by Buffalo's Robert Woods.

Receivers do wear gloves that have some chemical 'stickiness' on the surface but been that way for a long time - that catch is phenomenal, and photos do show he caught it with only 3 fingers on the ball.

that guy is super man!

now this is the right moment.Great catch for sure

wow, thats crazy!

Great catch... definitely not the best ever.
You can't make the best catch of all time in a regular season game.

almost like he had illegal substance on his gloves... but even if he had, thats still an amazing play...

Is the best I've seen

If you're judging just the catch itself, without context, it can be made at any point during the season.

As a Cowboy fan I'll agree it was a great catch. That would have sucked if it was "the winning" catch. Luckily we still squeaked by with a win.

The best play on super bowl XLII - YouTube

second best catch ever.

Beckhams is the best

Awesome, the other guy got OWNED

That's pretty much the only good thing the giants had in this game

+1

From ESPN:

"today's high-tech football gloves are engineered with a tremendous amount of tack in the palm and fingers. When you stick up your gloved hand and the ball hits it, it's almost like a fly hitting flypaper. That's why one-handed catches were mostly unheard of a generation ago and are semi-routine now."


Not saying the man doesn't have skills, but take the glove out of the equation and there's no catch.

Tyree was better. Holmes to win the Super Bowl was better. Dwight Clark's was better. Lynn Swann's was better. The moment matters. Otherwise we ought to include amazing things people do at scrimmages and practices.

Beckham's catch was the best regular season catch I've ever seen. It'll go down with the flip Jerome Simpson did to get in the end zone for the Bengals as an amazingly athletic move.

Marshawn Lynch's beastmode run won a wildcard game, it would have mattered less if it was done in week 11 on a team with a losing record that also lost the game anyway. If Beckham made that catch in the Super Bowl or in the 4th quarter of a close playoff game that helped his team go on to become champs, it would be talked about for generations.

that was fantastic!

OMG... :) It really could be one of the greatest catches ever... :)

Steve Young's run against the Vikings and Bo Jackson's run against the Seahawks were both in the regular season and both are considered to be among the greatest runs of all time.

Nothing Bo or Barry Sanders ever did during any single run can match the Marcus Allen run in the Super Bowl. That's not Barry's fault, or Bo's fault... Marcus won his team a world championship. Bo and Barry showed the world what they *might* have been able to do if they ever got to the Super Bowl. Doing it with everything on the line is not the same as doing it in week eleven.

That's why Scott Norwood's miss will be talked about forever and countless other misses are forgotten only a few weeks later. It's why Marty Schottenheimer is not a great coach, even though his career win total is higher than many other coaches who are great. Desmond Howard is an all time immortal because he single-handedly won a super bowl by returning kicks for his team. The patriots went 18-1 a few years ago... but the Giants won that Super Bowl. Would you rather have the 18 wins, or the championship ring on your finger? Ask Rodney Harrison.

This was the greatest regular season catch I've ever seen (and Ive watched a huge number of games). That doesn't make it the best of all time because it's harder to catch a 3 yard screen pass with your heart in your throat and history on the line than it is to make an amazing catch in a regular season loss or a trick catch during a training camp scrimmage.

It's the difference between Derek Jeter and Tony Romo.

There are a lot of terrific poker players when you play for points in a friendly game. Start playing for their paychecks and car titles, and suddenly most don't play nearly as well. :2 cents:
