Round 3: Vote for Marshawn Lynch on the NFL Films Blog

It's now round 3 and Marshawn's BeastQuake is up against The Catch. I'm not going to tell you how to vote since we're not talking a historical catch, but I think we'd all prefer to vote for the history we all saw real-time.

The Catch

Is completely overrated. Understand the circumstances, but the play itsself, weak.

Disagree.

It’s a crappy highlight because you can’t see how high Clark goes up to get that ball. Montana was just throwing the ball away out the back of the end zone, it’s a great play by Clark.

here's a perfectly good shot here

yeah…good play, nice little stretch to grab it but really, a top 5 catch ever like it’s usually regarded? Nah. It’s good, not really all that great.

Hell, Tate’s catch was better than that:

Voted for Lynch until the poll blocked me.

I will be unblocked “after a cooling off period”

Which makes sense, because when I started voting it was 55/45 Lynch, and now it’s 75/25 Lynch.

Heh, we were working together.

It was at 60 when I started, and I just broke 76. From 74-76 took a whole lot longer on my own.

Funny thing I just noticed looking over the bracket,

“Remember, this is not the best touchdown, but the best shot. So look at the framing (can you see everything you need to see?), the composition (is it too dark? too light?), and the movement (is it too shaky?) as opposed to how memorable the play was.”

Under these parameters Beast Mode is hands down better.

That's a point that I've completely overlooked

I simply saw Marshawn’s run and a severe lack of bounding the poll’s respondents and decided to really take action. At this point it would take about 900 votes for The Catch to overtake BeastQuake.
