in the most peculiar ways.
The hand-off to Csonka's hip against Philly comes to mind.
McConkey snaring the Bavaro drop in the end zone.
A pretty exciting bunch, aren't they?
I was so keyed up for the drive, just standing and bouncing on my heels. When it happened I walked up to the TV leaned down, saw the space between the ball and ground and just said "that's a catch, lets keep moving lets go, keep moving." I didn't care about the insanity or gravitas of the play, I just wanted the momentum to keep moving and get in the end zone.
The Plaxico touchdown play was much more amplified to me. When they lined up, I screamed to everyone "They left Plaxico one on one!!!" and I ran up to the screen and was pointing at the defender and Plax. Moments later I was doing a handstand kicking my feet in the air in absolute insane celebration.
appalls me that any NFL receiver would NOT know how far it is to move the chains. Most of these guys have been playing football for 8-10 years, are getting paid thousands of dollars PER SNAP, and yet many do not seem to understand they need to catch the ball somewhere beyond the marker. Insane.
To me, it's like commending a new high school English teacher on knowing basic punctuation.
Who was our TE who stepped out of bounds a yard short on 3rd down? If memory holds, next play...4th & 1...Eli hits Odell on a slant & Beckham takes it to the house. I think it was '16 vs. Ravens.

Was that Donnell?
I tend to block these memories. Life's too short...
The famous call is “…avoids the rush, gonna fight out of it, still fights out of it, now throws it deep downfield, wide open Tyree who makes the catch…”
Tyree is anything but wide open. Rodney Harrison was on his back, draped all over him.
I know it is petty, but it is all I can hear for some reason.
Am I alone with this?
Even so, Papa is still the best in the business. No knock on him whatsoever.

Vin, did you see the video from the fan that was recording in the stands? It shows pretty clearly what Papa probably saw. For a portion of time Tyree appeared to be wide open in the middle of the field.
It's not too much help, and I'm having trouble finding it in the Archives as well. Still, I think the below is a link to the video, but it's in Facebook - still it's something.
And here's the thread I pulled it from - I imagine the other post is from around the same time. facebook fan video - ( New Window )

Too bad, TB.
one of the most exciting plays i've ever seen. I knew we were going to win after that play.

Its' funny, my brother who's a die hard washington fan said the same thing. Except he said it from a position of disappointment. ha
