MCM Play of the Week (Week 12)

Please excuse the delay. No excuses. I'm just lazy. Anyways, I still don't think I've been able to comprehend what I witnessed last Sunday. I really hadn't been paying attention to VY's stats until FOX put them up on the screen before the final drive. When I saw that he was almost to 300 yards, I already knew something special was happening. However, I had no idea how special this was going to be.
The obvious winner and other videos after the jump.
A. Chris Johnson runs for an 85-yard TD. Buy these men some cars, CJ. Awesome blocking by the entire line on this run. Not really sure why Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie was trash-talking CJ at the end of this run, unless it was just some friendly banter. Not only did CJ start further back than him, he passed him and everybody else. The only reason he tackles him into the endzone is because he lets up. Anyways, Chris Johnson is the best running back in the NFL. It's not even a competition anymore.
B. Vince Young throws a 10-yard pass to Kenny Britt.(1st 4th down conversion) Not sure if I can change anybody's mind on the outcome of this vote, but I think this was the most important play of the game. Without this play, the rest don't even happen and we're all arguing about the draft. When VY first threw the pass, I thought, "Golly Jeepers, that's a pick 6." He actually made a really nice read, however. He waited for the CB to turn his head and then threw a bullet right where Britt needed it to catch it.
C. Vince Young throws a 19-yard pass to Bo Scaife. If, you're going to make a 99-yard game-winning drive, you're going to need some luck, if not a lot of it. Not really another "Music City Miracle" as the announcer idiotically proclaims, but it sure did help. Maybe there was someone special, wearing a 9 jersey, that made sure that ball was caught by a Titan.
D. Vince Young throws a 13-yard pass to Lavelle Hawkins. Has The Hawk finally taken off? I sure hope so. This is one of four huge catches by Lavelle in this game. Amazing what can happen when you stop taking your career for granted and start working your ass off in the film room.
E. Vince Young throws a 10-yard TD pass to Kenny Britt.(the final play) I was at Buffalo Wild Wing's watching this game (which by the way is a pretty fun experience if you like to interact with other fans) and you couldn't hear a pin drop during the play. The place erupted. I ran around hugging people that I didn't know, (and not just a little arm around the neck. Full out bear hugs.) including waiters, waitresses, or anything else that got in my way. Young threw an absolutely perfect pass and Kenny Britt took one hell of a hit while making that amazing catch. Even if we don't finish this miracle run and make the playoffs, that drive alone made my year.

Hey guys...
Any tips on centering the picture? No big deal, but little thing like that annoy me.
Christie kicks it high and short...Gonna be fielded by Lorenzo Neal at the 25...He dishes it back to Wycheck...He throws it across the field to Dyson...

I just did it for you
but you have to go into the HTML editor and change the part that says “class=photo” to “class=center”

Damn. In a hurry I chose the 1st 10 yard pass to Britt..
When I meant to check the last 10 yard pass to Britt. The game winner. Oh well…
I think I've watched the game winning play 150 times since it happened
VUNCE YOUNG!!!
I'M DISRESPECTFUL TO DIRT!! CAN YOU SEE THAT I AM SERIOUS?
GET OUT OF MY WAY, ALL OF YOU. THIS IS NO PLACE FOR LOAFERS. JOIN ME OR DIE. CAN YOU DO ANY LESS?
I'm pretty sure we could have done without a poll
Or a poll with just one answer, the game winner, cause nothing was better than that.
That drive is an instant classic..
I think I aged a little watching but the final play made feel Young again. I don’t get tire of watching it. The pass was unbelievable (VY was drifting one way and threw to another) and the catch was something out of this world(Kenny took a very hard hit and still held on to the ball), Britt is especial. Listening to the crowd going wild, I still feel pumped up.
I agree that the first 4th down pass was the most important...
But it was in no way more awesome than the final play. That final throw is the play that this game will be remembered for long after VY and Britt have retired.
THE REASON CROMARTIE WAS TALKING TO CJ
Both came out of the 2008 draft. I read in another article that Rodgers-Cromartie still thinks he is faster than CJ. He couldn’t catch CJ though (although he got pretty close) and so they were joking about it after the touchdown.
They are both from Orlando....
They practically stayed a couple of streets away from each other. My cousin played football at Edgewater High in Orlando and he played aganist them both and they used to run in the same circles….so probably some of that going on too…

I voted for E.......
but there is an argument that without those other plays, that one wouldn’t have been possible.
