No, The pass from Staubach to Pearson against the Vikings is considered THE hail mary in the NFL.


The pass from Kramer to Rashad is labeled "The Miracle Catch" although when we were replicating it in our vacant lot football games as kids we always referred to it as "The Bomb"

I was refering to the Hail Mary or bomb in it's generic terms, not referencing the name it is known for. All those desperation bombs are refered to as Hail Mary's.

I understood that Singer, but isn't it customary to correct every little incorrect reference on this site? ;D

There have been so many great plays, but for me the ones that come against the cheesedicks are my favorite! Moss limping past Al Harris in the playoffs to score the clinching TD, Moss' first game in lamboo, etc. That video was great garland!

The late 80's Vikes were my formative years, so the Millard (especially Millard
;D)/Doleman/Thomas/Noga pass rush and their 71 sacks is my reference for defensive line goodness.
Likewise, Carl Lee and Reggie Rutland (aka Najee Mustafaa), and especially Joey Browner who tossed opposing wideouts around like rag dolls are the pinnacle of Vikings secondary defense in my mind.

But for individual performances nothing beats Anthony Carter and the Vikes upstaging the mighty 49er juggernaut in their prime and outplaying Jerry Rice in the playoffs back in 1987-88(?)
Anyone have his stats from that game?
I loved it when come playoff time they'd sneak him in on kickoffs and punt returns and strike fear into the hearts of their opponents


(Of course this was followed shortly thereafter by "the final piece to the puzzle" Herschel Walker and season after season of coaching blunders backing their way in to and out of the playoffs)

Moss' lateral over the top of his head is still one on the great plays by the Vikings.

I agree.

Didn't it get called "The Moss Toss" or something like that?

I believe it was 1993 when the Pack had us all but beaten.
Time was running out.
Somehow, who knows how?
Eric Guliford gets open for a
long pass down the sideline, and we win the game.
Just to beat the Pack like that is always great.

Against the Pack in 95 with the game knotted at 24 the
Packers had the ball 3rd and a foot at the Vikes 38.
Holmgren called a sneak.
T.J. Rubley, the third stringer pressed into duty because of injuries audibled at the line.
Jeff Brady picked it off and we went on to win that game too.

One of my Favorites was a couple of years ago, when I believe it was K Williams picked up the ball and busted like an 80+ yard return. Followed by load of oxygen on the bench.
