I was re-watching the game last night, and found it was a much easier watch the second time around than I thought it would be. There were plenty of positives to take from the game, the least of which was the great moves that Brandon Marshall put on the Seattle defenders to get into the endzone.
It got me to thinking about the season and what the most exciting play all season has been. I think that up to this point, that was it. Taking nothing away from Javon Walker's TD during the Pat's game, which was very exciting in it's own right, I don't remember jumping around the room and being nearly as excited about it as I was during the Marshall touchdown. I think a lot of that had to do with the game situation. I can't remember the last time we were facing a loss square in the face, and we saw a little bit of Mile High Magic to put us right back into the game.
What do you think? Was that the most exciting play of the year?

Any of Champ's picks. He is a man among boys.
Walker's 71 yard run.

Great moves? What moves exactly? All Marshall did was run straight up the field and break a few of piss poor arm tackles.

Yeah I just re-watched it too and it was better than people think. Cutler missed some reads and didn't check down on a few throws but on many others he made the right read. On the play where he threw the int for a touch he though he had broken the tackle and was ready to hit the tight end and the defender pulled his foott out from underneath him at the last second.
One thing that pissed me off is they were taking a lot of shots at his knees in that game and they never called it. Also, the Seattle D-line was killing us. Ben Hamilton gets absolutely destroyed on this one play and he struggled most of the night.
It would have been nice to see less bootleg and more pocket and shotgun. I understand that the boot was there because we were running the ball well, but how about a PA pass and then step up into the pocket?
Anyway, plenty of time to figure things out.

It doesnt take a genius to figure out why that would have been your favorite play.
The obvious answer is Javon's reverse TD.
Champ's endzone pick vs. Baltimore is another.

Darrent Williams' interception on Thanksgiving put us in great position to take the lead. Unfortunately, we responded by going three and out. HOWEVER, it was exciting when it happened...:thumbsup:

A few more games left and then Cutler will have some time off to get ready.

I noticed that too. One in particular when Jay had his knee locked the DE came around from his left side and seemed to aim his contact point for Jay's shin. I thought for sure he was going to bend the knee back blow up his knee.

Actually I agree, that was the first time this season that I lost control and jumped around yelling. It's been a while since such a huge play was made at such the perfect time. Most of the big plays this year happened in games where we had some control. Marshalls TD came at a point where I had pracically given up on the game.

Williams' interception on the Monday night win against the Ravens was pretty exciting as well. It pretty much sealed the game and took away any and all momentum from McNair.

Cutler to Marshall. Just too bad we couldnt finish the game but it did bring excitement back that is for sure.

That's a great way to put it... I can't remember the last time I lost control like that, jumping around and hollering. My wife was pissed because I woke up the baby.
It felt great!

A good question would be when was the last game we were down late that you felt Jake could make something special happen.

I was in Honolulu on vacation and of course when I should have been at the beach I was stuck in my room watching the game and had almost given up when he made the throw the B Marsh, I was screaming and jumping up and down. The front desk had to check and see if everything was OK.

Same order with me first JW then Champ then Brandon.

Champs pick at the end of the First half vs B More easily.
With that TD, we lose that game.

My vote is for Marshall's TD. Regarding Champs interception on Sunday, I called it when the ball was half way there. Champ looked like the intended receiver on that play.

I think most of you are voting for Marshall's play b/c it's fresh in your minds
Champ's INT against Bmore was huge b/c Bmore is a playoff team and Champ made the game changing play

i voted for marshall because it took so much from him to break those 3-4 tackles. plus it was cutlers first real big play so i was really pumped by it

I disagree. This isnt about which play was the most important, its about which was the most exciting. Champ was simply doing what Champ does. But NO ONE saw Brandon pulling that off.

That was definitely a very special play that Champ made.

I think it has more to do with Cutler than Marshall
people love them some Cutler right now and it's fresh in their minds
but hey
it's subjective, I can't argue with that :thumbs:

Just a note on Champ his biggest play IMO in a Bronco uni was against the Chuggers maybe lighting strikes twice.

I choose other. Javons catch in OT against KC pretty much won that game for us.
Could have been 0-2 without it.

I thought that play was important for Cutler, and I honestly don't know that Plummer would have checked down that far the way he's been playing this year... But the crux of that play was Marshall turning his hips and busting through the Seahawk defenders. I was excited for Cutler, to be sure, but in retrospect, I'm more excited about Marshall's potential to be a legitimate WR threat.
