View Full Version : Top 5 moments in the Super Bowl Era. . .

Hey all,
I have been mulling over a new top 5 category. I was thinking about doing a linebacker one, but there was a thread regarding some sort of autograped helmet project, which really sounds awesome by the way, but it totally took care of the linebacking thread. So the thread will be this time is. . .

Top 5 moments in the super bowl era (this limits wibubba so that he isn't pullng out some sort of 1942 championship moment when the redskins beat the bears to win their NFL championship.Sorry about that Wibubba.)



The catch- Dwight Clark in the back of the endzone to beat Dallas. That was actually one of the first moments that I remember watching football. Just it was an out of nowhere play that really propelled the 49ers to the Super Bowl.

Darrell Green Takes down Tony Dorsett, Eric ****erson and other backs from behind- I remember that Tony Dorsett run and I am telling I thought Dorsett was going to score and then all of the sudden Darrell Green came up from behind and it looked like Dorsett was in slow motion. I don't think that I have ever seen someone run so fast.

Joe Montana to John Taylor to win in the Super Bowl- I had never seen a Super Bowl winning drive, until that moment. Montana delivered and I couldn't believe that they had started all the way on the 49er 8 yard line? Rediculous.

Tony Dorsett runs 99 yards- I really don't think that this record will ever be broken. The single game record has been broken twice since OJ originally set it and I don't think that anyone is going to come close to.it. When Dorsett hit that line and there was no defensive backfield, it was an incredible sight to see.


"The immaculate reception"- Who would have thought that catch that the Steelers dynasty would start? I wasn't alive back then to enjoy it in person, but I can say that is one of the best plays ever because the Raiders seem to have the game in hand and all of the sudden it was taken away like that.

"70 Chip"- I had to have my obligatory Redskins moment. It certainly as a fan was the greatest moment in Redskins history to me. Probably one of the more dramatic runs in Super Bowl History because if the Redskins didn't convert that play, they probably would have lost the game and there might not have been two other Super Bowls after that.


Those are my Top 5 moments. . .


Honorable mention


Daryl Grant intercepts Gary Hogeboom- That play was just so electric for me as a redskins fan. I couldn't believe that the redskins were able to get to the Super Bowl and that really sparked run of Super Bowls that was to come. This play would definitely make my top 10 for certain.

And now for a very painful memory. . .

Marcus Allen in the Super Bowl. . . I can tell you that play as a kid made me cry. I couldn't believe that Marcus Allen looked like Jim Brown and reversed his field and took it back like 68 yards the other way. It is still hard to think about because that team could have been one of the best ever and they frittered it all away the night before partying! UGGGGGHHH!


Music City Miracle- That play regarless if you think that it was a forward lateral or legal backward pass was just a great concept and to win that game that way was utterly rediculous. It was hard to believe that the Titans could get that lucky. I guess you need that sometimes.


Green Bay Monday night against the Vikings- This has some Fantasy football related value. I had Antonio Freeman on my fantasy team and to watch him make a catch off the DB's back on the ground and get up and run in for a Touchdown was just a sick play. Not to mention the fact that I won that game by a fantasy point.

Mark Clayton Catches a ricochet to beat the bears- The only bears loss that season and I couldn't believe that Mark Clayton caught that ball and ran it in. Probably kept the bears from being considered the best team of all time because of that loss.

Jerry Rice fumbles in the Meadowlands- I think about what might have been had Jerry Rice not fumbled that ball on his way to an easy touchdown inthe NFC championship game. I tell you the Giants probably wouldn't have went to the Super Bowl had Jerry Rice not fumbled that ball. The Giants did recover that ball and then subsequently beat the tar out of the 49ers.

I have many more NFL moments, but those are just a couple what are your all's memories of the modern super bowl era.

Yeah I had enough painful memories with helicopter spin of Elway. He is definitely one of the greatest of all time, but I just had enough of the painful memory thing. I wanted Favre to win that Super Bowl. Favre is probably my favorite non-redskins player. You are right though, it does deserve honorable mention.

MY 5 most amazing plays

1. Music City Miracle - 1999 AFC Divisional Playoffs; Titans 22 Bills 16 - insanity...just pure insanity: to this day Bills fans are still in denial, despite the fact it has been shown to be a lateral from every possible angle.

2. Elways Helicopter - Superbowl 32; Broncos 31 Packers 24 - Elway showed the epitome of toughness and determination, going airbourne for over 3 seconds upon colliding with two Packer defenders - enroute to a TD that would seal SB32 for the Broncos.

3. Montana to Taylor - Superbowl 23; 49ers 20 Bengals 16 - Joe Cool to Taylor in a miraculous drive led by Montana...all this while the Bengals were doing to the Icky Shuffle on the sideline, celebrating their "win".

4. Larry Brown's 2nd INT of Neil O'Donnel - Superbowl 30; Cowboys 27 Steelers 17 - the play that sunk the Steelers and allowed Dallas to become the 1st NFL team to win 5 Superbowls.

5. Brady Gets STOMPED - Superbowl 42; Giants 17 Patriots 14 - 2 and 10 with 28 secs remaining, Jay Alford basically molests Tom Brady in a bone crushing sack....a collective cheer is heard around the world...only a whimper is heard in Boston.

yeah that tuck rule was crazy, because it really should have been a fumble. What is amazing to me is that a heisman winner @ michigan made that play and his career, while it's been good, hasn't been what Tom Brady's career was after that play. Brady Skyrocketed and Woodson who was supposed to be like the next Deion never made it. It was very memorable play.

Of course he could have known what his father would have wanted. He grew up with him. He was his high school coach. Don't you think you would know how someone close to you would want you to react in a similar unfortunate situation? Of course you do.

Sounds like you are more of a hater than anyone here is a worshiper....
I'm far from a Favre worshiper. Just calling it as I see it. He did what he felt he needed to do and that was to not bail on his team and play the game his Dad taught him.

At least I'm not bashing him for honoring his Dad with one of his best games ever...but hey, if you are Hopeless Raiders fan, what else do you have.

The fact is that he played the game. He played the game of his life, and it's a memory he will have the rest of his life. I'm so sorry if the fact of the matter didn't fit your agenda.

Speaking of that Oakland-Green Bay game. Did anyone else get the impression that the Raiders gave Favre all those TDs? I mean he was just heaving hail marys into triple coverage and it seemed like the Raider DBs weren't making much of an effort to go after the ball. Am I the only one that saw it that way?

Who is better? He never missed a game. I can't say that there are too many players out there who are tougher. Sure back in the day you could say the Butkus or Ray Nitchke, guys like that, but in today's game there really isn't a player as tough as Favre. Riggins is my favorite redskins player and I tend to think that he was pretty tough for his time. Favre is of that same mold IMO.

dumb ass comment...I believe Favre was handling his business as A MAN that night...and also handling Oakland's as well. But then again, who doesn't handle Oakland's business these days...oh thats right, the only ones not handling Oakland's business are the Raiders themselves.

That said, I've given my 4 greatest moments, now for the most depressing

1) The Tackle - need I explain...ask any Titans fan how much one yard is worth...the Al Pacino "Peace with Inches" speech never held more truer.

2) The Tuck (Job) Rule - fumble, fumble, fumble.

3) The Winborne Job - with the Ravens up 24-20 against the 11-0 Pats, and the Brady-led Pats offense 4th and 6 on the Raven's 12 yard line (with under a minute in the 4th), Brady throws an incomplete pass into the endzone only for Raven DB Jamaine Winborne to be called for holding, giving the Pats 1st and goal on the 8 yard line...total BS.

4) Norwood Misses

I said I wouldn't comment further on TheFavre and his selfishness that night and I wont.

However...The Tackle. I hear ya on that one. I was really pulling for the Titans in that game. That was one hell of a second half though. ONE YARD! Just killed me that day.

Here's my question to you: Would you rather lose the Super Bowl like that, or get blown out by 30+ points?

4. Larry Brown's 2nd INT of Neil O'Donnel - Superbowl 30; Cowboys 27 Steelers 17 - the play that sunk the Steelers and allowed Dallas to become the 1st NFL team to win 5 Superbowls.

The 49ers beat the Chargers the year before this to become the first team to win 5 Super Bowls.

01-19-2009, 08:19 PM
A little bias here but I think you left off 2 field goals from the list. Not top 5 moments but I'd say honorable mention....

1. Wide Right - An absolutely amazing Superbowl that gets defined by this one moment. But the game in it's entirety was one of the best of all time. It also featured the greatest rendition of the National Anthem ever.

2. The Comeback - The Bills are down 35-3 in the 3rd quarter with HOFers Jim Kelly and Thurman Thomas riding the pine due to injuries. I think if you put that exact team in that exact same position a thousand times in a row I don't know if they'd ever be able to accomplish it again. But on that one day absolutely everything clicked. When Steve Christie booted the game winner through the uprights it was like I was watching the impossible become possible with my own eyes.

Also Devin Hesters amazing 06 season ranks up there for me. Him capping off that ridiculous season by actually returning the opening kickoff for a TD in that superbowl was amazing to me.

The Catch and Giants vs. Patriots are some classics but two moments always stick out for me even if they were made by my favorite team, the Cowboys and the infamous LEON LETT

Super Bowl XXVII

Late in the fourth quarter, Lett made a play by recovering a fumble on Buffalo's 45 yard line and proceeded to run it back towards the endzone. When he reached the 10 yard line, he started to slow, and held the ball out as he approached the goal line. However, he didn't see a hustling Don Beebe, who was chasing him down from behind. Beebe knocked the ball out of Lett's outstretched hand just before he crossed the goal line, which sent the ball through the endzone, and resulted in a touchback that cost Lett his touchdown. Lett later said he was watching the Jumbotron, and trying to do a "Michael Irvin", where he put the ball out across the goal line.


1993 Thanksgiving Classic
On Thanksgiving Day in 1993, during a rare snow and sleet storm in Dallas, the Cowboys were leading the Miami Dolphins 14-13 with mere seconds remaining in the game. The Dolphins attempted a 41-yard field goal to take the lead but the kick was blocked. While most of his teammates began celebrating, Lett attempted to recover the ball. He slipped on the ice as he tried to pick up the football, and Miami recovered the "muff" on the Dallas one yard line. Had Lett simply done nothing, the Cowboys would have automatically received possession and could have run out the clock. By touching the ball and then failing to hold onto it, Lett enabled the Dolphins to take possession and then try another field goal. This second attempt was successful and the Dolphins won the game 16-14.

As much as I hated the outcome of that game, a huge moment of that Giants/Bills super bowl came when Hostetler was sacked in the endzone for a safety but it was amazing he held on to that ball. Most quarterbacks fumble and TD for the Bills. Amazing the Giants fans thought their season was over when Simms gets hurt that year but they may not have even gone to the super bowl if he hadnt.

Titans falling a half yard short to win the SB against the Rams


I don't understand why A LOT of people say the Titans were a yard short of "winning" the game??? Last I checked, the Rams were up 7. Were the Titans going for 2 if they scored a TD, and were they guaranteed of converting it? Were they even guaranteed OT with a TD and the PAT pending? We saw Akers miss one yesterday, so OT wasn't even a guarantee. Or was that last play worth 8 points, and I just didn't know about it? Hence, they would have won if they weren't stopped at the 1.

I'm not going to participate because all 5 of mine come from the same SB. :)

You know that is RIGHT, picking Rich Gannon apart was a beautiful thing to see... :D

I don't understand why A LOT of people say the Titans were a yard short of "winning" the game??? Last I checked, the Rams were up 7. Were the Titans going for 2 if they scored a TD, and were they guaranteed of converting it? Were they even guaranteed OT with a TD and the PAT pending? We saw Akers miss one yesterday, so OT wasn't even a guarantee. Or was that last play worth 8 points, and I just didn't know about it? Hence, they would have won if they weren't stopped at the 1.

I think people take into account the momentum Tennessee would have had. A tie is almost a certainty regardless of who missed when, so either way we would have had overtime or the Titans going for two and the win. The Rams were gassed and McNair inside the five would have found a way to get into the endzone. Momentum is the biggest reason I think people say that.

This memory could be more infamous than famous is when the Fridge got the goaline carry in the 86 super bowl and he basically took any chance that Walter Payton had in scoring a touchdown. I know a lot of Bears fans to this day hate Ditka for that fact.

The Rest of the League:

Jets 2000 MNF OT Win

- Easily one of the craziest games I have ever watched. The Jets could have lost that game like many other teams would have being down 30-7 going into the 4th quarter. I was glued to that game, and I still can't believe what I saw.

Any playoff game Vinatieri won with A FG
