I remember that game vividly, as well. I watched the game at a condo I was renting in Ft. Myers Beach. My sister and her husband, who's in the End Zone Militia, were at the game dressed in NE gear sitting among loads of Dolphins fans and called me after the game with a couple of good items. They told me that, at one point during the Brady/Moss show, a Dolphin fan turned to them, shook his head in admiration and said," This isn't even fair.". Then, after the game as they were filing out of their seats, another Dolphin fan said to them, "Well, at least we don't cheat!" My smart-ass sister immediately retorted to him, "Take a look at the scoreboard. If I were you, I'd be rooting for my team to start considering it..."
Revis also left the game after that. At that point in their respective careers, Revis had owned Moss. It's doubtful that catch happens had Revis been healthy.
No, Moss flat-out beat him and Revis "apparently" pulled his hamstring on that play trying to catch up. People speculated whether Revis was embellishing the injury because he got thoroughly embarrassed by Randy.
Yeah the MRI post-game showed a hamstring strain and he was uncertain for the following game. Further, it was very public in the week leading up to Pats/Jets that Revis was complaining about tightness in that hamstring but still insisted on playing on Sunday. At what point, leading up to that game, had Randy thoroughly embarrassed Revis since 2008? He had been owned. Revis came up lame, which was obvious watching the film and was seen on an MRI, and was beat. That's the only reason that catch happened because, outside of that, Revis had dominated Moss physically at that point in their careers. That said, that was not Moss anywhere near his prime, either.
I was at that game. Revis grabbed his hammy AFTER Moss made the catch. "See, fans? He beat me because I'm injured!" I'm not saying Revis didn't usually get the best of Moss, but Randy got inside leverage and beat him on that play.
Tune, Revis was complaining about the hamstring all week leading up to the game, was limited in practice the following week, and his availability in the following game was in question. Unless you think he was setting himself up to save face on that one play in the week leading up to the game (and I don't know why he would do that since, as even you admit, he usually got the best of Moss at that point), it doesn't make sense to outright ignore the fact that he came in to the contest with a tweaked hammy. The MRI afterward backed that up. And yes, people typically grab the injured body part after they pull up lame. In other news, water is wet. When the two were healthy, Moss routinely got *****-made by Revis in every facet. That's hardly a slight. Moss was no longer in his prime and Revis, one of the best man CBs ever to play the game, was.
