Was that the greatest catch in the history of football?

[slacker00]

You are bringing in extra factors that have nothing to do with the catches themselves. Beckham did exactly what he intended to do, something that most mere mortals cannot do. Did Tyree say to himself "Hmm, I think I'll trap the ball against my helmet on this play" when he went for the catch?

Wow, LT. Having a defender with bad intentions on your back has nothing to do with catching a football?

You guys need to watch jugs machine practice until you get over this.

My favorite catch in that SB was burgess catching the winner right by the patriots logo ending the perfect season

I was merely pointing out the amount of luck involved with Tyree's catch, Beckham's was simply super-human.

in a 100 attempts he wouldn't be able to do that again against his helmet = LUCK, not skill .....But that fool last night that made that catch will make many more like that watch , and the degree of difficulty imo was way way higher .....

[Petey Wheatstraw]

It was LOSING catch.

[Sam Odom]

Odell might get arrested then suspended before next game

[LT Profits]

It was LOSING catch.

Which has absolutely nothing to do with the debate.

[Petey Wheatstraw]

Which has absolutely nothing to do with the debate.

But turns out to be the bottom line.

[zizoudane10]

No fukkin idea who that was, but I like that one

[keel44]

I remember on MNF Wayne Chrebet was running full speed one way and turned and dove the opposite way to catch a low line drive around a standing defender. I don't think he could even see the ball it was so quick.

[LT Profits]

But turns out to be the bottom line.

Not when we are debating which was the better catch, winning/losing has nothing to do with it.

[opie1988]

It was LOSING catch.

Bingo.

So some clown made a good catch in a Giants loss at home??

Cool, man.

[House]

It was LOSING catch.

I doesn't matter ..... were talking degree of difficulty of a catch not who won the game ...... kinda like " who hit the furthest homerun in baseball ....or the best slam-dunk in basketball ...... Im saying Beckams catch is " The Catch "

[House]

We're simply talking about a catch not who won the game ..... see the thing is , theres been lots of CLUTCH catches when times running out , or to keep a drive alive, but that doesn't mean they are are difficult as the catch that was made last night ....

[slacker00]

Gimmicky stuff, but worth a laugh.

Do you guys remember the Pro Throw catch? He played for Alabama. It was the play of the year in sports. I still think that was the best catch, ever! A great catch to me has to be unique and with a high degree of difficulty. Last nights catch had both of those. Great catch! Awesome. Look up the Pro thro catch on YouTube, if you have time.

Great heads up, that's sick. This catch is 100X tougher because there's a defender, trumps all these fancy ones.

[chaka]

If u see the tyree catch from the camera angle looking from his left unobstructed shoulder it's not even in same ballpark as beckhams catch

jumps straight up and holds on..

sans the helmet trap , catches like this with safetys draped on receivers happens frequently

the video is on YouTube. Nyg final drive this means war

someone should post side by side each catch tyrees without manning scramble portion.
Whittled down side by side it won't even be close which is better

Great point. NBA has the slam dunk contest, MLB has home run derby, bring back the NFL skills challenge.

[jjgold]

Would of not been possible if he did not push off

Unreal catch though

[House]

4:45 in .... check out how the ball is stuck to his hand even when going down..... he's got great hands for football

He does have great hands, check out that Jugs machine practice I posted earlier.

But now days, any elite NFL WR makes catches like this routinely. Fitz can do it standing on his head:

[BriGuy]

The modern day sports world always wants to assign "greatest such-and-such EVER" to every play, player, game, season, whatever that comes along.

So sure, this was the greatest catch ever and it will continue to be the greatest catch ever for a couple of weeks until someone else makes the next greatest catch ever.

[TheMoneyShot]

Considering the following....

1. He almost stepped out of bounds.

2. It was a Touchdown play.

3. There was a defensive pass interference on the play.

4. It was a one handed grab

5. The ball was literally over his head

You have to consider this the best catch of all time.

YES

I question number 3. The defender fell down out if bounds because he was pushed.

How do you question number 3 when "IN FACT" a flag was thrown by an official and there was clearly a penalty on the play. It was called defensive pass interference.

[ManOfValue]

Beckham rehearses catches like that one in warm ups quite a bit I think. I've seen him a few times.

[jsmithj88]

how does the giants losing the game have any bearing on the catch?
that was one of, if not the most amazing catches of all times
MANY nfl players present and past have already agreed

[opie1988]

Because, in the grand scheme of things, he's a LOSER.

Everyone remembers Dwight Clark's "The Catch" because it was THE defining moment that propelled those bitch-ass 49ers to the win in the NFC championship game. If that had only been a play in a game that the Niners lost, I seriously doubt it would still be known as "The Catch".

So again, Beckham made a good catch at home in a game his team lost.

Wake me up when it counts for something.

Check this one-hander by Donald Driver, the DB had his right arm in an arm lock, he just uses his left hand.

[tony_come]

Greatest catch in history was last Thursday kc/Oakland game.Derek Carr pass to the middle to James jones for 9 yards for a touchdown with 1:46 in the first quarter

I couldn't find that one, but I found the one-hander against the Jets with the DB all over his catching arm.


Plus he had to get his feet down with the DB pulling him out of bounds.
