This thread is to see what fans on this website view as their favorite ONE Offensive play and their favorite ONE Defensive play thus far in the Belichick era.

I know this is a tough idea to choose just one play from both sides since there have been about a million snaps since 2000 , but I know that each of you remembers a special play on both sides that you loved the most so far,so lets hear what those are ...

The two plays on both sides of the ball that stick in my mind as great plays and are my favorites would be....

OFFENSIVE PLAY - The 2007 regular season game at Miami where Brady threw a long bomb to Moss in between two Miami defenders who had Moss blanketed well but Moss seemed to leap high enough between the two Dolphin defenders to have the ball softly tap from his right shoulder and safely into his arms to score the TD - Thats my favorite this decade.

DEFENSIVE PLAY - The game against the Jets in Giants stadium last season (2008) when Adalius Thomas pass rushed Favre back to inside of the 10 and sacked him but the special part of that was the way Adalius took RB Washington along for the ride and actually tackled 2 players at once for the loss - Thats my favorite on defense.

Yours?

Offensive Play- taking the intentional saftey against Denver on MNF back in '03.

Defensive Play- Gotta be Big Willie stuffing Edge.

maverick named my two favorites, but these rank a close second:


After guaranteeing his Steelers would beat the Pats Anthony Smith bites on a play-action fake to Maroney, leading to a sixty yard bomb from Brady to Moss.

Willie McGinest sacks Peyton Manning near the end of the game that appeared headed to overtime in 2004; Vandrjagt misses the long FG on the next play and the Pats win by 3.

Offense: 2007 vs Pittsburgh Brady to Moss, Moss slips, throws back to Brady, to Gaffney for a TD

Defense: 2004 vs Philly in SB 39. Rodney Harrison intercepts the pass to seal the SB victory

PatsSox363804

Offensive Play: The entire final drive of Superbowl 36. J.R. and Troy getting out of bounds, Adams kick, all on the biggest stage, it was the greatest drive as a Patriots fan, ever.

Defensive play: Toss up between McGinest stuffing Edge in Indy and Bruschi ripping the ball out of (was it rhodes?) the Indy RB in the playoffs.

The Favre sack might be the funnest memory. But the Willie stop was one for the ages since it cleared a path to another Lombardi, and it did it in Manning's house. Tebucky's recovery and run might have topped that had Willie not been caught hugging Marshall in the EZ.

Lots of runners up for the offense, too. Vrabel as a TE in back to back SB's - somehow becoming a failsafe goal line playcall. Ditto the Brady over the top version of the statue of liberty. But I gotta go with Brady to Bingo for FG range in XXXVI.

Troy keyed my favorite ever ST play, too. The recovered blocked punt lateraled to Harris for a TD that was the key to cancelling all those Steeler SB reservations...
