One of the all time greatest catches in NFL history deserves its own thread.
Thank you Gary Barnidge.

The best part of that catch was when the db tried to smack it out of his hands and he did the "psyche" move.

Truly it was an amazing catch. I remember watching it real-time and when he stuck the ball in the air, looking directly at the ref, I knew we had it.
Huge play for us too... BIG PLAY GARY!

the one frame with the ball between his legs with it touching nothing but air at the time is pretty cool

I think this play was really the turning point for us. I think it actually being a catch for a TD really demoralized the Ravens after that point. Their defense started looking really tired after that, which worked out great cuz our offense was getting stronger the longer the game went on!

It was an amazing catch and showed great awareness and reflexes... but let's be honest, a lot of it was luck.. it's hard to say it was one of the greatest catches of all time. But I enjoyed the crap out of it.

Watching it live, I thought for sure it hit the ground. Guess not. Good for us

It would be called that if the play happened in WFA.

Intoducing for The Cleveland Browns, Quarterback Deshawn "The Predator" Watson. He will also be the one to choose your next head coach.

But I enjoyed the crap out of it. It was dumb luck that the ball never hit the ground, like winning the lottery. But great job by Barnidge staying with it and never giving up.

But I enjoyed the crap out of it. Most great looking plays in football are luck. Every week the ball bounces your way or it doesn't. The key is to be ready to catch the bounce when it comes to you. BPG was ready!
