Looking back at these 2 plays.

not sure that it was the best play of the game? are you kidding .. it was a 14 point swing before the end fo the half.. what other play was close to that ... lol .. one of the top plays in ANY SB... damn

HINES

 

I go with Harrison. He should have got MVP. Greatest play I've ever seen. Probably why GODell hates him. That play should be on a loop 24/7 at the Hall of Fame.

 

It always gets under my skin when people say something would have happened if this did/didnt happen. That pass if not intercepted, could have been been incomplete/dropped. Please dont give me the excuse of Fitz(intended receiver) would have caught it or they would have scored on the next play.... Since it never happen.. no one will ever know.

 

The immaculate reception

 

For me it has alot to do with personnal experience.
I was 6 years old when the IR happened but I can vaguely remember playing neighborhood football in my front yard and then all of a sudden the houses all around went nuts and us kids went running in to see what just happened. Obviously I didn't see it live.

FF to Superbowl XIV when I was a few years older and wiser I watched John Stallworth catch that over head grab for the TD and I can remember it like it just happened yesterday. I saw it live and really lived the moment.

Now onto JH's INT and I had a house full of people and when he picked that ball off I leapt to my feet jumping up and down frantically like I was running right with him trying to get him to score and man when Silverback crossed the endzone you could probably hear me like I could hear my family and neighbors back in 72'. I saw it live and that is something that I will never ever forget.

People who saw the IR live are very lucky to have it in their memory bank but for me the bigger play is the INT which resulted in a SB victory.

 

So sorry TE but you are wrong......Was 3-0 STEELERS after 3 ....Gerela kicked a 29 yarder in the fourth......Stabler ran in a TD from 30 Yards late Blandas kick made it 7-6....Than THE PLAY.....Final 13-7......And what does Miami have to do with this game think you are confussed....The IM was against the Raiders.

 

From what I remember and remember I was only 12.....STEELERS fought hard in that game...was close....lost by 3 or 6.....Fins killed us with Csonka and Kick all game.....We couldnt stop run.

 

nobody could that year myron. i saw the IR in person. i was 13. it was this teams first step into taking down the bully on the block that was the raiders. it meant so much to steeler football and the city. the interception was just a great play by a great player. it wasen't a turning point in the league for a perenial loser as the IR was. that play was a culture changer.

 

I just remember watching it on TV......What was it like to be there?

 

Besides the 'we have to sign...over-the-hill vet' and the 'if we don't draft ...., I will just die', this has to be the silliest post ever.

The greatest play ever, as cited by everyone, vs. 'one of' the greatest plays in Super Bowl history ('one of'... Swanny has at least 2 Super Bowl plays as good, not to take anything away from James).

I'm just assuming the age card has a bit to do with people's votes, though.

 

the waiting for them to make the call seemed like an hour. then chaos ensued, they stormed the field, people were hugging and screaming and i think some shed a few tears of joy after that. the raiders were hated here. i still lothe them to this day. i miss 3 rivers.

 

SO SO cool!!!......But I for one do not miss 3 Rivers......It was a dump. But it was OUR dump. 4 rings in dat house,,,Cant change dat!!!!!

 

really, you think it was a dump? i loved the place. back in 72 though it was near state of the art. it also looked like several others in that day. cinci, philly come to mind. and baseball, forgeddaboudit. that ball came off the concrete like a rocket. LOL just falling on that surface was like the hardest hit allowed today. hehe.

 

LOL.....All I will say is it was OUR dump and we won a **** load of SBs playing in that house!!! Just thank the good Lord we dont have to play any more games there......

 

TRS was a huge advantage for the Steelers. I went to many of games there where the place literally shook from all the noise. TRS on it quietest days was still louder than Heinz Field on it's loudest days (an exaggeration of coarse but I still don't see how fans didn't like the place). My seats when I went there were great though. 35 yard line lower level, steelers sideline, just under the deck with a TV for replays above our heads 5 rows in front of me.

 

Games against the Raiders in the 70's were all good games.
