I've been a Hawks fans since '76, but to me the top three plays were all in this latest game.
1. Sherman's tip to Malcolm (Sealed the win).
2. Kearses catch for a TD (high degree of difficulty and gave us a lead that we wouldn't relinquish).
3. Beast's run to tie the score (major statement against a great run D)
I view this game as our crowning achievement. Sure, the 2005 team made it to the show, but this team did it against a much more worthy opponent on the tail end of a season that was a trial by fire. I could pull even more plays from this game that deserve consideration, especially from the defensive side of the ball. How about Kam's lights-out play? Not only did he get a pick off of V. Davis, but he gave him another good thumping and tagged Crabapple as well. The dude is a human wrecking ball, and his coverage skills have seemingly improved ten-fold. I've been arguing with Brock Huard about him off and on, because Brock questioned whether he was worth the contract we gave him. Brock finally admitted he was wrong today on the Pete Carroll show; a pretty stand-up move, IMO. Bobby Wagner was a man possessed.. I could go on and on.
Anyhow, I love to wax nostalgic about maybe what I would call the 'most enjoyable' plays at times too, but I have to consider the significance of the play before I'd call it 'the best.' There are so many amazing things Pete Carroll's boys have accomplished that I have to hand it to them.
