What's your pick for the best regular season play of all time?
I'll go with Bavaro vs. the Niners based on the effect it had on the game and the season. Although the Giants were still losing the game when Bavaro's knee hit the ground I was completely convinced then that they would go on to the Superbowl and win it.
Bavaro carries the 49ers - (

I remember being so hyped after that play. We'd eventually go on to win that game.

I was at that game vs Ravens. Never seen anyone in my life cut and run as fast as OBJ did that day.

We're talking greatest regular season plays all time, right? They have to be game changers?
that was in the playoffs.
Amani Toomer catches 82 yard flea flicker TD vs Colts in 2002 - ( New Window )

JPP Blocked FG of Dan Bailey
Bradshaw in Buffalo
Shockey vs Dawkins
Tiki vs Chiefs on the sideline TD
What I had in the mid -late 90’s?
Chris Calloway from Kanell vs the lions in OT
Kent Graham to Toomer vs Denver
Cary Blanchard kick in Buffalo
Imo, Eric for the win, although the other choices are great.
That LT pick 6 was the start of a great era.

Was that the OBJ play right after Darnell did not get the 1st down b/c he was afraid of contact?
I remember OBJ grabbing a short pass and juking his way to a TD. That play was absolutely amazing!
First and last.

That would be illegal now I assume but god what a shot.
I don't think so. Looks like Reasons uses hit helmet to strike the runner in the shoulder pads. Amazing hit.
You’ve got my vote.
God, that was a great kick.

That makes the 3rd and 33 this year a little less vomit inducing.
It was a great winning play.
Loved watching the Giants win that night. It was an amazing and well deserved win.
Love all the winning that year.
Beckham's spiderman catch has to lose points, just based on the fact that we were in the midst of a bad season, and we didn't even win that specific game.
Bavaro's catch and run with half the 49er defense on his back should definitely rate pretty highly.
Bradshaw in the snow - ( New Window )
Bradshaw has claimed he said in the huddle that he would score on that play
This one crossed my mind when I saw the thread title. It might not have had that much significance in a season, but that was one of the most beautifully executed plays I have ever seen. Glad someone else remembered it too.

Loved that play. I was going to suggest this one. I loved how Ahmad ran. Each footfall is so deliberate. One writer described Bradshaw's style of running as if he was angry with the ground.
Has to be in the Top 5. Also, that hit was the inspiration for one of the best handles on BBI - BobHumphreysEarPad.
The Toomer catch to beat Denver. The Broncos were 13-0 and on their way to back-to-back Super Bowl titles. They had won 18 straight games.

When Kerry Collins was on he could throw passes like that. that was on a rope and hit the Toomer in stride. Beautiful pass.
But when he was off....he was off.
