muffmonster Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 Did anybody see the Geico Play of the Day yesterday? They announced it after the Jets/Pats game. Yes the most amazing play of yesterday afternoon was a 5 yard TD pass from Drew Brees to Meacham. Can anyone explain to me why that play was so amazing? It wasn't even a game winning play. How about a 98 yard TO TD, Jamal Charles Kick off TD, or any other myriad of plays? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Vader Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 I was flabbergasted by that too. There were two Overtime games yesterday, none of them had big plays? What about the Colts getting a late INT to seal the deal against the Ravens? How about the Raiders scoring 10 points in 8 seconds to upset the Bengals?

bladiebla Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 Isnt Geico all about cheap? Surprised they didn't choose a 0.5 yard gain... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Avenger Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 I would have nominated Devin Hester getting pantsed on slow motion replay - that was pretty damn funny...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Avenger Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 I am going to have to look that up, I didn't watch much of the late game. The funny part was you didn't see it on the original play, but they showed the slow motion replay from another angle and there was Devin, mooning millions of viewers (not his fault) - so bad that the guys in the booth didn't say anything - they just let it slide.

CodeMonkey Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 If you listened to the entire thing, they also said "to get the Saints to 10-0 for the first time in their history" or words to that affect. I'm assuming that was the "game winning" TD. What did you expect, the 98 yard TO score in a fairly meaningless game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow spectacular. The game wasn't close or down to the wire. I am not questioning this because Owens wasn't selected, there had to be 15 other exciting plays, as stated before 2 games went to OT...how about the chambers reception to stun the Steelers? It just seems like they jumped the Saints stroking bandwagon. To me a play of the day is either extraordinary (pass, catch, run) or actually wins a close game. That pass was neither.

Wilson from Gamehendge Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 I would have nominated Devin Hester getting pantsed on slow motion replay - that was pretty damn funny...... Because this board is highly regarded when it comes to grammer and punctuation...I thought I would let you know that Devin Hester was "DE-pantsed."

Think outside the single-game box. This win got them to 10-0 for the first time ever. This play (presumably, I didn't see the game) was the game winner for them. So in their mind this play produced something 'extraordinary'. Why else would they show that little dink pass in a ass-kick game? It doesn't necessarily have to be restricted to a "extraordinary (pass, catch, run) or actually wins a close game" to them I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LewPort71 Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 Play of the day on Sunday was the "Hail Mary" scramble by the Detroit QB. PI on the play allows Detroit to score the tying TD, then kick the game winning Extra Point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
