[QUOTE="PFanCan, post: 557509, member: 1989"] This play isn't just a "favorite". It's iconic. For the fans. For the team. For the NFL. For the sport. ThxJack, you missed an entire era! How about the decades in between the era above and era below? The losing period of the 70s and 80s... Not a happy era for us fans, but an era never-the-less. IMO, the highlight of this era would be the 1980 famous blocked FG that Chester Marcol caught and ran in for the winning TD against the Bears in OT. My most memorable play during this era is unfortunately the opposite of my favorite. But, it's a play that caused me to be a very grumpy person for months. It's a play that we all know as 4th and 28. Sorry to bring that up. As for a favorite play, it comes in the SB victory. Desmond Howard's TD return was simply electrifying. The Patriots had all the momentum just moments before and the Packer lead was dwindling in the 3rd quarter. But, that 99 yard kick-off return just deflated Drew Bledsoe and his offensive mates. You could see it in their posture on the sidelines. My 2nd favorite play (or, in this case "series" of plays) were Reggie White's back-to-back sacks of Drew Bledsoe on the Patriot's series immediately following Howards heroics above. It was Reggie's way of saying, "Don' even think 'bout it!" It was then, still in the 3rd quarter, that we all knew this was Reggie's and the Packers day... Of course, Reggie got another sack on their last series late in the game, just to cap it off. Thanks, Reggie, for that great memory! RIP. Another similar play in this game was the TD pass from Rodgers to Jennings where he hung on to the ball despite it being deflected marginally by the "outstretched fingertip" of Troy Polamalu. Another millimeter in the wrong direction and Polamalu blocks that ball entirely. However, I agree- the best play of the game was the strike to Jennings as you describe above. That was critical and came at a time that momentum was shifting to Pittsburgh. Rodgers had gotten sacked and a penalty made it 3rd and long. That was a great play. However, another of my favorite plays goes to Kevin Greene's statement to Matthews of "Now is the time" comment caught on audio during a commercial break. One play later, Matthews forces a Mendenhall fumble and the rest is history. Note that my vote goes towards Kevin Greene's comment-- not the actual play. That is the stuff of legends. [/QUOTE]
