Question about 45 yard TD throw?
 
the one from Brady to Moss vs the Bills.....

what was better the throw or the catch?

I say the throw because of how perfectly it was placed on the sideline where the DB had no chance and it led Moss right into the endzone.

IMO the play was one of the most perfect connections I have seen.

Perfect throw. Perfect catch.

I honestly can't decide. I think they're about on par. I also don't think people have given Brady enough credit for that throw. It reallly was perfect.

Moss baited the d-back to jump too soon, making him think that the ball was going to be a little shorter than it actually was, knowing full well that with his 6-5 frame he was easily going to be able to reel it in. I say catch, but nothing against the throw.

Hard choice! Brady put the ball exactly where it needed to be but Moss did a good job getting position and made a great catch

I saw a post earlier this week about this catch and I agree with that poster:

Moss could have positioned himself closer to the sideline and made a more natural over the shoulder catch. The fact that he had to reach to the side and forward but still had room by the sideline leads me to believe that he set himself up so only he would have a play on the ball. I'm not sure but it seems like most receivers would just run right under the ball, making it easier for them to catch.

Moss literally may be the only WR in the NFL that would have made that catch. There's a handful of QBs who could've made that throw.

2 superstar players that are in their early 30's and understand the game. Who cares what Moss' 40 time is? He has the best hands of any WR I've ever seen. When the ball is in the air, he goes and gets it.

Randy might run a 4.5 in practice, but in the game he's running 4.2-3.With his hands and veteren awareness, he's the perfect compliment to a QB with an injured shoulder.

Who needs Stickum when you've got Moss' hands?!

And who cares which of the two between throw and catch were better. It's a play I'll not get tired of watching any time soon. The more I watch it, the more amazed I am by both the throw and the catch.

:agree: It's like deciding between the cheese or the sauce on a perfect slice of pizza. You gotta have 'em both.

Harmonic convergence of perfect throw and catch. We will see many of these.
