How many receivers make that catch? i can name a bunch off the top of my head that are in the league right now.

How many QB's get that throw off let alone put it where it needed to be?

I agree though. The receiver isnt getting enough credit.

Roethlisberger's TD throw to Holmes in last years Super Bowl is LIGHT YEARS better than Favre's latest prayer.

Really? Why? Favre was almost forty yards away. How would Roethlisberger's throw have been more difficult? And how can it be "light years" better? I understand you are trying to use hyperbole but in this case it doesnt seem fitting. If you want to call Favre's play luck, I can see how you could think that. Any way you cut it though it is still a fabulous play.

Ted Ginn absolutely couldnt have made that catch. Or just about any catch really.

True. Ted Ginn would have dropped it. T.O at this point couldnt have gotten open.

Nah, T.O. would have been open. Edwards would have just checked down to the TE or RB who would have been tackled in bounds to run out the clock.

There are plenty that are capable of making that catch, how many times out of 100 do they actually make it though? Being capable, and actually doing it are completely different. Maybe 3 times out of 100 Lewis actually makes that catch and keeps both feet in bounds, it just happened that he made the catch at that key moment. In theory, every NFL receiver could make the catch Tyree did in the Super Bowl if you gave them enough opportunities to try it. It doesn't detract from the fact that he did make the catch at the big moment.
