Celebrating 40 Years Since The Immaculate Reception

If Tatum had simply broken down and tried to make the tackle instead of going for the kill shot, the game would have been over.

 

Now that is true.

 

Yeah, but he was a dirty player, so he couldn't resist.

Kidding aside, I understand it. He didn't have much time to think it through and played it like he normally would in that situation.

And Ben, you are entitled to your incorrect opinion.

 

And in 40 years...

Three coaches
33 winning seasons

 

I've seen enough. Can we lock this thread before the Steelgasm goes Charlie's Angels 2?

 

Gutless. Officiating.

Have a greeeeeeat day.

 

I've always wondered why the official NFL Films version of the play doesn't show Harris actually catching the ball.

 

I remember watching it live on a 12" B/W TV in a K-Mart appliance department with about 20 people gathered around.

 

Stanley Kubrick staged it, faked it.

 

K- Mart did not have color tv's on display?

 

Sabol has mentioned that it was one of the few shots they ever missed.

The pinball nature of the play made it too tough to follow.

I'm surprised no one is saying he stepped out of bounds.

 

So I guess NBC didn't get him actually catching the ball too?
