Favorite catches of all time
 
Truthfully, I forget whatever Stanley Morgan catches I thought were the greatest ever at that time. About as far back as I go for "great" catches with this team would be these (not ordered):

Turner's catch against the Vikings.
Moss's catch over the middle against the Colts.
Moss's catch the other night.
Troy's catch on his back against the Giants in '96.

I also liked Glenn's catch against the Steelers to open the playoff game in our first SB run, and his circus catch against the Steelers when he broke his collarbone.

I don't know how I'd rank them but for pure athleticism I can watch Randy's catch against the Colts a hundred times and never get tired of it. It didn't win a game, and it didn't produce points, but for athleticism, all I can say is that catch says it all.

Bledsoe to Brisby(?) to end the '93 season against the Fish. The play that really got me into the Pats.

In addition to lots of the ones already mentioned, I add:

long TD pass Brady to Brown to win an OT road game against the Fins (02? - I don't remember which year it was)

Brady completing a pass from his knees (also against the Fins, I believe)

Brady to Branch in 4th Q of Super Bowl 39 - kept game winning drive alive

I get them confused, I either say Brisby or Timpson.

Brady to Patten TD in SB36

Bledsoe to Terry Glenn, Divisional Playoff vs Pitt @ Foxboro in 96

Bledsoe to Sean Jefferson in Miami game @ Foxboro, the play after breaking his finger.

No that was against the Bengals. The next pass from the knees was against the Phins and was an INT in that 2004 debacle game.
