The tip vs Kearse Td

[drummerseahawkboy]

Its very simple what did you guys think was better ? They were both monumental plays to send us to the Super Bowl

You can't just ask this question. Add a poll.

 

[Cyrus12]

wow this comparing apples to apples! might be too soon....

 

[Zebulon Dak]

I couldn't possibly pick right now.

The tip showed our identity as a defense.

The catch showed our will to fight and never give up.


Both, a statement to who we are.

I voted Kearse's catch, but it's really hard to compare. The tip is the most significant individual play in 'Hawks history in my opinion. On the other hand, having been at both games, I felt way more of a rush from the comeback as a whole, capped by Kearse's TD.

Totally This!!!

I voted "The Tip" over "The Kearse Of Death". Yesterday was a miracle, but the 55 minutes that proceeded it were so gut wrenching. At least last year it always felt that a match of equals during the game. The entire game you didn't know who was going to seal the deal. "The Tip" did that, and was more symbolic of the team as the game was won on defense.

As a play the Tip wins.
However, overall nfc championship game( last year/this year)?
This year's game gave me more stress than last year's nfc by far.However, the end result gave me more euphoria than any other hawk game I ever saw. SB victory last year was how to put it? Tempered because once Percy Harvin drove the nail into the coffin with that return. The out come was never in doubt.

 

[The Outfield]

The tip because it was the 49ers and Kaepernick throwing to Sherman which was lols.

 

[Seahawk Sailor]

The tip, but by just a little bit. I think that's tempered in part by the fact it came against the division rival 49ers and in part by the fact that Kearse had an almost identical catch in that NFC Championship game just before that, and one that came on 4th and 7. Both were monumental plays that sent our team to the Super Bowl.

 

[HawkFan72]

I voted for the Tip just because it was against the hated Niners on the way to our (so far) only SB win, but these two are incredibly close in my heart.

 

[ZagHawk]

As of now, tied. Will depend if Hawks come out on top in the SB for this one too, otherwise the game getting there suddenly loses a lot of its value (sadly).

 

[Hawkfan77]

I went with Kearse. Just after the day he had, 4 INTs all his way, battling back and coming up with the most redeeming of catches to send us to the SB...just crazy

 

[Seahawk Sailor]

In deference to the Kearse TD, Kearse had the defender draped all over him as he made that catch and fell into the end zone. Borderline pass interference. Definitely some unwanted groping. Amazing skill and concentration by Kearse to haul that one in.

Well said. I can't decide between the two to be honest. And I'm a defensive guy.

 

[Msfann]

The Kearse TD was to win the game for us, the tip while damn sick was only to stop us from losing a game we were already ahead in.

Both plays helped put us into the super bowl but I'm going to have to go with the Kearse TD since we had a lot of ground to make and I believe GB would have probably won if we only scored a FG in OT.

 

[Rob12]

Surprised to see the poll so lopsided in favor of The Tip.

Both were great plays. But the sheer improbability of yesterday's comeback puts Kearse's touchdown on top for me. To see what a terrible game he had up to that point, and the tears that flowed when the reality of the situation hit him after making the biggest catch in team history was one of the greatest moments in Seahawks history. Then, to see Russell's post game interview... I lost my dad in 2013, and he is my best friend, so I felt like I knew the source of those tears and it was confirmed in his press conference an hour later... On perhaps his toughest day as a pro, and a game where the naysayers were pointing their finger at him and puffing out their chest - and to come back, with ice water in his veins, and make that throw to cap one of the greatest comebacks in playoff history? I mean last year's game was awesome, but I see the match up of Sherman vs. Kaepernick/Crabtree and you know who wins that one 10 out of 10 times... But for the Seahawks to be down 19-7 with minutes left and to pull that off? On a play like that?

That play was the biggest kick to the junk that could ever be delivered to the rapidly growing bandwagon of Seahawks haters. Russell and Jermaine both struggled, but in the biggest moment of the season, they were absolutely perfect.

Yesterday gets the nod from me. Cementing greatness. I don't know how it gets much better than that.

The tip as a single play I think is probably a more impactful play than "The Turnaround", where any one single play breaking down would have lost it for us.

The third down conversion on our first scoring drive. The fake FG TD pass by the punter. The drive to come within 1 score. The onside kick. The 2pt conversion. The third down tackle by a one-armed Sherman. The 3rd down conversion to Baldwin. The TD.

No one play was more important than the tip. All of those combined though? There's not a single play that could ever match the magnitude of how incredible they were.

 

[UK_Seahawk]

For me recovering the onside kick trumps both. That's when I truly believed.
