:eat1:
I've got you beat. I'm pathetic. Each time I see it again (around 25-30), I STILL get goosebumps - - especially when I relive how I felt at that moment - -from despair at the prior play's missed opportunity, to the "Oh no he's not doing the very same play call on a 3rd and 10!" immediate thought, to utterly losing it with my 7 year old son (who we let stay up late due to his first-time enthusiasm about hanging in there with the Pats). We all jumped around the living room in hushed giddiness, not to wake our 4 year old daughter.
Great memories not even 24 hours old.
P.S. - You're right on target - - one has to play the prior drop/underthrown play with it to get the full experience.

Absolutely, I also like the "Oh..my.. god" from Collingsworth as a reaction to the drop soon to be followed by his "Wow" statement in reaction to the 50 Tds. Classic!
For the record, it WAS NOT the same play twice.
The dropped underthrown pass was a play action.
The next play was a totally different play, and who knows if Brady audibled for Moss to run a fly pattern.
Belichick confirmed post-game that it was not the same play twice.
right, it was supposed to go to Welker, but the Giants D played it such that it left Moss open down the sidelines....
i thought i was the only sick one, ive watched that thing about 12 times already..
Just watched it again just now :rocker:i thought i was the only sick one, ive watched that thing about 12 times already..

You're 100% right. But, at the time - -live, it seemed like the same play. Afterward, upon seeing the replays, yes, there was no play action in the second play. Belichick or Moss mentioned in the postgame presser that the play was originally set up for an underneath to Welker, but the Giants DBs/LBs were jumping it. Kudos to Moss for 110% on a route where he knew he wasn't the prime target.
Great example of how incredibly fast and complex NFL football is. What we see and ingest during a live game is about 3% of what is going on at the moment.
.....I wish you all could have been in the stadium because as soon as Brady went back to pass and let it go, you could hear the air go out of the stadium and it went dead quiet as he ran into the end zone, other than the Pats fans cheering...
Funny you say that because after re-watching it a few times yesterday, one thing I noticed that I didn't when it happened live, because we were all going crazy in my living room, was that it sounded like the whole stadium erupted when Moss made the catch. Made me thing there must have been a boatload of Pats fans at the game. Maybe it was just the way they had the crowd miked.
