Favorite Play Of The Year Nominations

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.

inb4 someone posts the play where Cassel got knocked out.

Let me think about it and I'll post one, it will probably be something from Jamaal Charles

It's JC's TD run of 91 yards in New Orleans.

That was what feels like the only hopefully moment we had this season. We were already in a hole (0-2) and things looked grim in that game.. then boom.. in a 91 yard dash Charles gives us a moment of hope. It lasted through that game to an OT victory.. and then tailed back off for the dismal 2-14 season ahead.

It's the 91 yard run.

That's the first play that came to mind AH86.

For the league play I instantly think of the Sanchez butt fumble although it should be on the blooper list Laughing

That was a great play. The entire OL got blocks, but Brandon Albert clearing the way like a paving truck is a thing of beauty. Phenomenal, All-Pro type of run block right there.

I love the run play, but this is my favorite play of the year with the dance after.
