|
|
|
Hi guys,
Some of you may remember a couple of years ago, I ran an 'Elimination' style tournament which culminated in Footballs Future selecting it's consensus 'Favorite Play Of The Year'
For those that don't remember, here's a link
With the season soon to be over, there's not going to me much to talk about on FF, so hopefully, this tournament can provide some discussion, some competition and provide some great memories, and perhaps show us some great plays that we missed too.
Anyway here's whats going to happen.
a) I will create a thread in each of the 32 NFL team's sub-forums, asking them to nominate a consensus 'Favorite Play' from their team.
b) Once I have collated all 32 sub-forums' nominations I will use a list randomizer to determine which teams will face each other in the tournament.
c) I will then create a thread in NFL General for each match-up, where the FF community can determine which play is their favorite until eventually we end up with 2 remaining plays,
OK, so now that's sorted. Let's get down to the fun part, time for the your sub forum to nominate their favorite play of the 2012 NFL season!
There is literally no criteria for selecting a favorite play. It could be an Offensive, Defensive or Special Teams play, the first play of the game, or the last play of the game or anything in between, it could come in a win, a loss (or a tie) it could be a scoring play, or a non scoring play.
You can select literally anything, in the 2010 tournament there was an OG returning a kick-off 70 yards, a Pick-6 by a Defensive End, Touchdown celebrations or trick plays by Punters. Literally anything!
Ah, there is one rule. You must post a video link (preferably to Youtube (those 30 second adverts on NFL.com are annoying after a while) or even better, post a GIF.
So go ahead guys, nominate your favorite play of the year!
I'll be back in a few days to see if you've come to a concensus nomination, if not, I will start a Run-Off thread between the 2 or 3 most popular selections until we have a winner!
Thanks. _________________

I'd say Nelson's INT against the Steelers off the top of my head.
But did the OP seriously suggest that there isn't much to talk about in the offseason? On this site? _________________

I did the last one (2010) after the draft, so I made a boo boo there...
I suppose it's easier to remember these top plays whilst the past season is is still recent. _________________

| I think the AJ Green catch against the Chiefs has to be it. But I did really love the Mo Sanu pass to A.J. Green for a TD even if it wasn't as "spectacular". |

Sanu to AJ TD pass. Really saw what this offense could be if we had a QB who could throw the ball 50+ yards downfield accurately. I would think AJ could set the record for TDs if he had a good QB throwing to him. _________________

And if the coverage is blown every play?
EDIT: That's my favorite play of the year too. _________________

There is no defense for a perfectly thrown ball. AJ gets behind the defense every game and Sanu was the only one to take advantage of it. _________________

| My favorite is Sanu to AJ on the opening snap vs the Skins. |

The thing I love about that play was AJ, our star, blocking downfield.
Chad would never have blocked like that. _________________ 2013 Draft Needs: RB, Safety. Maybe RT and backup LBs |
