And i mean took them down hard. Yesterday Favre was running away when he was sacked not so in the Pitt game,it was head on.
Man this made me laugh! I'm going to have to find it on youtube or something to see if it could possibly be as wonderful as you describe it.

Other noteworthy plays:

IIRC, one of them wasn't a drop so much as uncalled DPI.

Quote:
9. Welker anytime he has the ball
In particular: Welker going in reverse on Tim Dobbins.

Second best run move of the Brady era, after Brady faking out Brian Urlacher.

One of my favorites was back in the 1970's when Steve King nailed John Hadl of The Rams in the pit of his back and knocked Him out cold ! Half of the old stadium could see it coming and anticipated the hit..It was a thing of beauty !

I believe the sack you're referring to was actually by Willie McGinest, making for a long potential-game-tying field goal, which the Indy kicker (forget-his-name-lost-in-obscurity) proceed to miss, having kicked a google in a row.

Exactly! This one was more about putting a smile on my face than being critically important. Seeing Lord Favre and a teammate both being essentially tied together, taken for a ride, and pitched off the dock by a Patriot using at most 5 fingers made it super memorable.

Oh wait, that's not a toilet seat, it's a horseshoe.

I have seen the Thomas sack at least 50 times so far...and I'm still laughing histerically every time I see it.

PS...Thanks to all the posters here who have brought back some great memories.....
