I think it was Holmes catch. Simply amazing. that was the difference between a 6 point lead and a 10 point lead. If it was a 6 point lead we all knew Brady was going to march down the field. I believe that was a 3rd down pass to. So what do you feel was the play of the game?
J-Co's catch and run right before that. That turned the momentum back when the Pats looked like they were getting ready to roll downhill after that TD and two-pointer. Even a FG there if Holmes didn't make the catch wouldn't have been killer cause with the way we were moving we could have scored again but not going three and out on that drive AND scoring was huge in itself.
Have to agree. I said to myself "we have to answer here or we're screwed" and we did. Really changed the feel of the game. Holmes is a close second though, and despite not turning it into points the Harris pick stopping the Patriots drive was huge too.
Even though it didn't amount to any points, I'd say the Harris pick changed everything. Brady was rattled from then on. On offense, I can't decide between the Holmes TD, the Braylon player-drag TD or the J-Co catch and run. So so happy right now!
To me, it would definitely have to be the Holmes TD catch because of its impact at the time. It was incredible, and the Pats were just completely deflated after it. However, I loved the Braylon TD with him dragging those defenders into the endzone. I mean that play was insane. I never thought he would punch it in considering how tight the coverage was on him. The play basically ignited the offense IMO (that and of course his big catch down the field earlier).
I'll give them in order of importance, IMO: 1) The Harris Pick 2) Cotchery's catch and run 3) Holmes TD catch
I have to nominate the botched fake punt right before half time. Im pretty sure we would have just run the clock out if they simply punted. Huge difference going into the half up 14-3 v. 7-3.
J-Co catch. Pats scored a TD and 2 point conversion before that. That catch shut the crowd up and punched a hole in the Pats momentum.
I agree - the Harris Pick was a very important confidence enhancer for our team and I think it really shook the pats.
I agree with the two most popular. The Harris int made the statement that this was not going to be like last game...and the Cotch play was a huge answer to the only real drive the Pats had.
