This lull we have between the end of the SB and the Draft in 2 months is a perfect time to do this. I will put together a bracket of 48 or 32, depending how many nominees we have. Then we will vote each round to determine THE play of the Dynasty era.

There are no sure ways to define "best" play. Most memorable, most goosebumps, most important. However you define it. Please recommend plays in this thread. She it's time to vote a bracket, I will include YouTube videos of the plays when available.

Below are the plays I already have listed when I posed this question on another forum. I am at 23. Let's see if we can get to 32 for an even bracket.

1. Bruschi INT 2003, snowballs
2. Brady OT TD to Troy Brown vs Miami
3. Floyd TD with brutal Edelman blindside block
4. Welker 99 yard TD vs Miami
5. Larry Izzo INT to preserve shutout vs Buffalo
6. Wilfork commits manslaughter on Buffalo screen pass
7. Patten knocked out with foot out of bounds
8. Butt fumble
9. Moss TD, Revis grabs hamstring
10. Mo Lewis hit
11. Roethlisberger INT in end zone to end game
12. Gronk shoestring catch and 2pt conversion (same game as above)
13. Gaffney TD 2007 vs Ravens after Red Ryan timeout
14. 4th and Goal stop vs Indy 2004
15. Gronk abuses Sergio Brown
16. Intentional Safety and late TD vs Broncos
17. Brady to Moss record TD vs Giants
18. Gronk breaks about 8 tackles vs Redskins
19. Dan Connelly KO return
20. Brady jukes Urlacher
21. Brady to Thompkins to beat Saints
22. Gronk TD vs Rams in England. Does nutcracker TD celebration
23. Vinatieri TD pass to Troy Brown vs Rams
 
This is a great idea! I can't wait to vote on the bracket you create. I'm surprised these supposed Patriots fans here haven't contributed anything.

How about the Gronkowski one handed catch against Denver? Best catch I've seen.

That's 24! Thank you, Finn.
 
it was a shitty season but what about the 09 td from tb to watson i think in ot to beat buffalo? the thing that makes it memorable is he struggled (for him) that year coming back from injury and that was a flash of what he'd be getting back to doing.
 
Onside kick comeback versus Browns

2015 gwd and long Gost FG to beat Giants

2011 Hernandez 4th down TD to beat Cowboys

2007 4Q comeback versus Colts (both historical juggernauts coming into game)

45-3 Jets game

Brady 5 TDs in quarter vs Ten

Brady gw TD dart to Patten vs Bears 2002

Are there any one plays from some of those games?

I'm trying to keep the brackets limited to individual plays. It's hard because some games exists as a singular moment in our minds.
 
Brady to Josh Gordon vs Packers 2018
I was there

Mahomes to Hardman Superbowl 58
 
Brady to Edelman in 2013 vs Broncos regular season he ducked under a tackler and scored a TD it was the 24pt comeback
 
IMHO, that's way too high. I'd have it in my top 10. How many other linemen had a run back like that?

If he finished it with a TD, I'd go top 10. Too many other dynasty era plays more impactful and memorable
