Who chose that to be our play. ಠ_ಠ

I'm with you. This gets a lot of cool points but what the hell.

It's more just luck than anything. I'm sure any football player could have scored in Edelman's position.

I'd like to know that as well

This thread was created before voting started, highest voted play per team was chosen. A couple teams had to have a thread made in their subreddit, I'm assuming because no play was submitted to the main thread.

That thread looks so disorganized...

1
tfoustSeahawks•

I guess the sub-reddits dedicated to each team voted for the play.

1
bluthbanana2049ers•

There's more than one round...

1
Adrenaline_FluxJaguars•

I didn't think that'd be the Jags nominee. Figured it'd be the TD catch against the Vikings with 20-30 seconds left or the TD catch to win the game against the Colts. All are Cecil Shorts TDs though so whatevs.

tl;dr All hail Cecil Shorts.

eirinn312Patriots•

Can't we just string those three touchdowns together as one play, seeing as how that's how long a regular play would normally take?

Whoever chose this play for the Patriots does not want them to win this. The McCourty tackle was even better...

12
qwert_trewqPatriots•

Hmm, our best play wasn't something spectacular or skilful, just something that fucked the Jets over...

Actually, I'm okay with that.

kckolbeTexans•

That whole game should have been "the play"

bambadingoJets•

Pretty sure I wanted to cry during the three minutes the Pats scored all those damn TDs...

SP5021Bears•

Let's see, a guy recovering a ball practically thrown into his hands and taking it for a touchdown, or a guy who caught a ball, stiff-armed the defender, ran and juked a guy for a touchdown? Going with Cecil. Also I'm a little disappointed at that Pats play, I would've tried to look for something more spectacular.

8
john7071Patriots•

We had spectacular plays, but this?

This 80-something TD catch and run by Shane Vereen is better.

This catch by Vereen is better, too.

The Edelman Punt Return vs Colts

Brady to Lloyd vs Texans

Aqib Talib's first INT an pick six as a Patriot. This one is recorded from a TV, but it's somewhat decent

There are many to choose from, but they went with a fumble recovery, even when the tackle that forced it was better ಠ_ಠ

SP5021Bears•

It's clips like these where I wonder why didn't they have a vote on each teams respective subreddit for the top play.

8
MrFace1Patriots•

We should have and should do this next year.

6
AzirthPatriots•

The play for the patriots should have been that 1:03 second span(or however long it was, fairly sure it was around that timeframe) during this game in which they scored 3 times. Completely ridiculous.

[deleted]•

Can we start posting /where/ in the video the play is when the video is several minutes long? I know it's the offseason, but I'm still not desperate enough to watch 10 minutes of pats highlights.

ApexeSeahawks•

I thought the link autoloads where it is?

That would make sense. I'm on mobile, though, so I haven't been seeing that.

You can look at the URL, and then manually navigate there.

That's what I do on mobile.

WestcoastWonderRaiders•

Can't see full URL on AlienBlue.

I haven't voted in the last few due to this.. A quick time stamp in the post would resolve this easily.

1
branchnessPatriots•

Another way to look at it is 10 minutes of Jets lowlights.

3
Riggs909Patriots•

I don't get the hate for this play, or how people can't see how pretty damn amazing it was. Look at the amount of time Edelmen has to react to the Mccourty forced fumble. Its almost like he anticipated Mccourty knocking the ball loose and its as if he is running a route to score the instant he catches a ball. Thats pretty impressive presence of mind, at least in my opinion.

alien13ufoPackers•

im with you. I thought it was an amazing play.

3
denvertebows15Patriots•

Although it was amazing it wasn't the best one we had all season.

zipperooooPatriots•

I choked on a turkey leg and almost died during the McCourty play. Thank you Mike Westhoff, special teams guru.

yangarChargers•

Well that's the worst 2 seed since the Chargers of...oh and now I'm crying again.

GuruTheChampPatriots•

Cecil Shorts wins this one. Very good wide receiver.

2
[deleted]•

Cecil Shorts is a beast.

giraffaclopsChiefs•

I was thinking, hell with that pats play, the Jags should have this locked up...Then the jags have possibly the most boring touchdown pass ever.

2
EvilanCardinals•

Unfortunately the best play by the Patriots came against the Jets, got to dock points for that. And then you have a receiver on the Jags who stiff arms a player and jukes another scoring a TD against Houston's tough defense. Going Cecil.

1
KapitanRedbeardPatriots•

As much as I love Edelman, it was more a case of right place at the right time. Shorts' play required skill and moves. Gotta give it to Cecil

BUSeanPatriots•

There's another fumble from this game I much prefer.
