    Still get chills. Was at a sports bar. My phone blew up when from Steeler-haters when Fitz scored saying it was the best SB in history.......I waited and then replied "AGREE, OMG!!!" after Holmes hauled it in. Crickets.

    I was still nervous until Lamar Woodley strip sacked Kurt Warner to end the game.

    I was on a plane for business when this happened, the crew and a lot of passengers got the news in the air and erupted,

    Because I didn’t see this live my mind goes to this when talking about the greatest throw and catch

    Never gets old. Along with 92's Int TD, the IR and Maz's blast. City of Champs (a long long time ago). :rolleyes:

    Not many QB would even just attempts this pass over 3 defenders with the game on the line!

    I don’t have fond memories of that game and couldn’t even enjoy the win

    I had the flu badly and spent the entire game in a chair right next to the bathroom door and far away from the TV

    Aside from that catch, I believe we have the top 3.... The other 2 being made by Lynn Swan

    That would come in at #5 for me, right behind Julian Edelman's against the Falcons

    By far the best catch other than Immaculate Reception!

    Although not thrown by a Steeler this is one of the greatest catches I have ever seen

    Hold on there with a long long time ago, I understand the 70's produced 7 Burgh Championships (don't forget PITT) but we did hold two Championships in 2009. Steelers and Penguins. And if the damn BUCS could have came through in the early 90's we'd have had two then.

    "A long long time ago" is a relative concept. For the few of us who witnessed/experienced the 70's (1900's, not 1800's like JEH), we've enjoyed several winning times and probably complain far less than those youngsters in these parts who haven't sniffed a Championship or it was half their life ago. Unfortunately, while I savored every single SB, WS, Stanley, I took many of those big wins for granted thinking it will just keep on happening. I'm probably not alone. Would be great if the Bucs could pull off a deja vu with the Brooklyn Dodgers like that huge surprise last year. Was really hoping for a series win against the Brewfarts.

    Crazy thing is Holmes dropped a way easier TD right before that on the other side of the end zone.

    Yup. He had to reach for it, but was in a much easier position to keep his feet in bounds on that one.

    Right.
    92 catch has to be in the top 2. 1 or 2 of all time.

    I lost my voice twice in that game... once during the interception and the 40 second run back, and then on that final TD pass.

    Such great memories! Nothing better than winning! Woooooooooo.............

    I lost My voice the biggest in the playoffs against Indy in 2005...when Troy P intercepts Manning for the win, and then they took it from us , and then add when the Bus fumbled....I could hardly talk the next day. LoL

    Haha... That's awesome. That game had a ton of pent-up frustration in it left over from the 90s that came rushing out! The sack after sack of Manning was very loud at my place. :)
