That Edelman catch was the greatest catch I've ever seen.

[RelocatedPatFan]

The Edelman catch needs a catchy name

 

[ctpatsfan77]

Edelman is the greatest Patriot receiver of all time. He's Tom Brady as a receiver. Heart of a lion, 7th round draft pick, never die attitude. He's a legend.

I've said this before, and I'll say it again: if you could put together a 53-man roster where every player had Edelman's spirit, they would beat the 2007 Patriots 59–0.

The part that gets me is that Edelman actually tossed the ball up 2cm and then recatches it. A ballsy move to ensure he had the catch and no one was taking it from him.

And FYI .. The Catch already made history .. just look at this footage:

That's "shadow lion" to you, civilian.

Julian Edelman is Mr. Clutch. What a fantastic grab! 4 people in a traffic jam, and Edelman plucks that ball with Fingers of Steel! Fantastic concentration and an Epic catch on the greatest stage!

That's back to back superbowls that Edelman made a HUGE championship level catch.

We don't win against Seattle if he doesn't hold onto that ball after taking a bone crushing hit on that 4th quarter 3rd down play.

He's a CHAMP!

we finally get a "ridiculous" catch to call our own!

That was exactly what I said. Easily top 5 SB catch all time, I think Montana, Kearse and Tyree were all better

Hm, I agree except for the part where I totally disagree. Montana? NO. Kearse? They lost. Tyree comes close but this one was better because....uhhh, we won.

 

[patriot1136]

Amazing catch. I feel like I'm dreaming.

 

[AtomicDawg]

In motion the catch is sick...but frame-by-frame....

 

[pencilneckgeek]

I will never get tired of that replay. I can even enjoy listening to Joe Buck and Troy Aikman ("My god!") over and over again.

Edelman is the epitome of Bostonian grit - the quintessential New Englander. Even looks like a grizzled fisherman come playoffs time.

True little warrior.

All this from a former quarterback. My brain is melting and I like it

 

[patman12]

Edelman' catch seemed like karma for the Tyree catch but let's not forget Marty snagging the ball after it had popped into the air. Not an amazing catch or game changer but those types of things had typically gone against the Pats in past SBs.

 

[bormio]

At some point we will get the inevitable Welker vs Edelman thread. JE11's hands are not perfect, but there is something about Edelman and "winning time". When it is "winning time" he will make the play. His last catch on the GW-drive was not easy either.

 

[PatsBoy12]

No, it really, really was.

That play will go underrated because there were so many key moments and plays. How can there not be in the biggest comeback in SB history? But that play, to me anyway, meant more than the Tyree catch. I know that could be debated, and rightfully so, but I feel it was just because of how the game played out and everything that was on the line. Five championships (six had they win in 2007) will be more significant overall in history than 19-0 would have been.

Best SB Catch I certainly think is a valid observation.but best football catch i've seen in a long time was the OBJ catch in the end zone a few years back
