MUST WATCH video of Rocky Mountain Rainbow... Greatest throw in NFL history?

[Hammerhead]

That was an instant NFL classic -- and I can't remember a better Ravens game.

I liked that first video but felt terrible for the kids in the second video. I remember last year's pain all too well.

[RavensInBrazil]

It was definitely the greatest game I've ever seen. The only game where I remember being remotely as nervous (wins, of course, I pretty much had a breakdown in last year's AFCCG) was the Seattle game with Anthony Wright - but the stakes then were much lower

I think the big thing is how absolutely unlikely that TD was...it was at that moment I knew this was a team of destiny, and my faith never wavered - I was much calmer after the 9ers stormed back than I was last year in the POs

I'm sure 99% of us were thinking "here we go again" the second we turned the ball over on downs. Personally I was already in my "my ravens did it to me again" mode once it happened. The second Jones caught the ball, if any of you saw my reaction you'd think I was a deranged monkey or something. I was jumping all over my house like an idiot...I'm sure I wasn't the only one...I hope.

And to be honest, in the Super Bowl once Ray Rice fumbled the ball I had those same "here we go again" thoughts in my head but I trusted our red zone defense. They had been coming through all year long on the goal line and they did again when it mattered most.

Omg. You must watch this video too:

Why? That's just cruel. They're kids, for chrissake, & their heroes just took it on the chin. C'mon, cut 'em some slack, Jack.

OTOH, Oh shit...Oh shit...Are you fucking kidding me right now?... now that's funny!

[PurpleApocalypse37]

For anybody who likes to bathe themselves in emotion, good and bad, the video of the kids crying can be rewarding. You can listen to that all-out hysteria, sobbing past the point of no return, and imagine that they're sobbing because of something truly devastating happened, like their parents died. If this sounds flippant then don't be alarmed, we're just on different wavelengths. It would take a while to explain how such a thought could be "rewarding." But if you know what I mean, then you know what I mean. If you don't, don't judge, because it's not what you think it is.

It had to be rewarding to whoever felt it was more important to film it than console them. Ya mean?

[Real Fan Dan]

Funny.. I think I said the same thing as the woman in the video when Jacoby made the catch "Are you f*ing kidding me?". I was a bit more elated however.. lol

That's why the pass should be called the F BOMB.
Flacco threw it.
It definitely was a bomb.
And almost everybody yelled "f*ck" when it was caught.

As for the greatest game in NFL playoff history, this certainly merits strong consideration along with the Dolphins-Chargers 1982 game.

I think that Dolphins-Chargers game may be the single greatest playoff game I've ever watched. IIRC (presently too lazy to look up the finer details), the Dolphins were WAY behind but came back to tie, then the Chargers eventually won an exhausting marathon in double OT. Great game by Kellen Winslow (Sr.)

Honorable mention to the Packers-Cardinals playoff game in January 2010. High scoring affair that went right down to the wire.

But this year's Rocky Mtn Rainbow game ranks right up there --and has the added advantage that MY team is the one that came out on top!

[SykesvilleRavensFan]

I was there in the stadium and I can tell you that it was pretty damn quiet after that catch. After the Ravens won the game, it was absolutely the quietest walk out of a stadium I have ever experienced. Much like I would imagine a zombie apocalypse would be.

Dude you should have filmed that walk...that would've been a master card moment!

[Purpleguy]

My son is only three, but I hope I raise him in a fashion that would reserve that kind of emotional outpour for the death of a loved one, or possibly breaking your femur. This is a game. I think it's disturbing to see kids act that way over a game.

Maybe they're just Italian.

Dude... it's kids. Kid. Kids get upset at things.

I can't imagine how disturbed you must be by adults that get emotionally invested in their teams.

They were screaming like they were just told their mother died. You are right, I also get disturbed at how emotionally and financially invested adults get in sports teams. I wouldn't be surprised if there were some kid's college funds dropped in New Orleans last week. I love the Ravens, but life is about priorities and understanding what's really important.

Been there and done that as a Baltimore Colts fan in my own childhood. While I feel for them, it is nice to be on the cheering side this time.

[Beerracuda]

Haha!! Great video!!

God, what a magical season!! I still can't get over it! We should have known after converting 4th and 29 in San Diego that this was a team of destiny. And then to beat the Colts, Peyton Manning, and Tom Lady enroute to the Super Bowl! The only thing missing was beating the Squealers in the playoffs. But hey, it's almost as satisfying knowing they never made it there in the first place!

How I managed to make it through the games this season without having a heart attack is beyond me!

[Gatorman82]

I agree about the Dolphins-Chargers game. Unfortunately, I was a die-hard Dolphins fan at the time - that game STILL hurts when I see replays of it....

[goldenelite28]

Yep that game had everything. Always within 7 points, big offensive plays, big defensive plays, big special teams plays. Plus it was cold. I could go on and on, that game just felt different starting with the long TD to Torrey.

It really was amazing.

Also consider that three of the best players in NFL history were playing in it.
It was also part of a superbowl run.

When sifting through fan reactions, I saw this one. Pretty tame but this guys wife's reaction at :22 is freaking hilarious.

I can't watch the video, but last night I also went looking for videos. Let me guess, his wife is curled up on a couch and he puts the camera on her and she's like "WTF? WHAT'S THAT CAMERA DOING ON ME, MY HAIR ISN'T EVEN DONE."
