Seriously? A generational thing?
This isn't even a close contest. The Woodson interception was on a ball that was being THROWN AWAY. Woodson basiclaly Houdinied with on hand and somehow got a foot in.
Lewis on the other hand screwed up (self-admitted) and jumped too early, then managed to use his amazing athletic ability to still make an unbelievable interception. And honestly, we would have been better off if he had just dropped it. Fantastic play? Absolutely. Better than Woodson? Not even close.

If Lewis made that play on 1st through 3rd down we would have had to punt again. He caught the ball with the exact amount of time needed to run out the clock in three downs.
October 2nd, 2016 at 3:16 PM ^
You could tell Lewis timed his jump so that there would be just more time on the play clock than the game clock on 4th down. Incredible in-game thinking. High football IQ.
October 2nd, 2016 at 7:13 PM ^
Because incredible in-game thnking would have resulted in the ball being knocked away and not intercepted.
No issue wth the INT, but situational awareness is important.
Oh, and Woodson by a long shot.
October 2nd, 2016 at 7:18 PM ^
Usually I'd be in your camp but the catch was incredible and the one critique of his play last year was "wheres the picks?".
Theres the picks.
I'd rather have the intangible benefits of the incredible play than the benefit of field position that ended up irrelivent.
October 2nd, 2016 at 1:11 PM ^
If we go all the way this year too, Lewis' catch will be a big part of it. But so will every block, catch, kick, tackle, and run. This team is special.
Go Blue!

Yeah, hindsight is 20-20 and if we win it all then there is no saying which moments will be iconic in 20 years

Woodson's was like I wasn't really paying attention cause it looked like QB ws just throwing away and that was a wow that he could catch that pass. Lewis was like "oh shit the receiver is behind him, thank god he hung in the air an extra fraction of a second. Way more fear associated with the Lewis INT, Woodson's was a a little more spectacular.
October 2nd, 2016 at 2:39 PM ^
touch until the 43 at least, that is a 15 foot long jump.

It was discussed all day yesterday in the snowflake threads. Why does something that has already been debated ad nauseam need a new thread?
October 2nd, 2016 at 1:59 PM ^
October 2nd, 2016 at 2:45 PM ^
I think this one is a legitimate topic of discussion. To me Woodson's is definitely the best but talking about two of the greatest individual athletic plays we've seen is not a bad thing. It's not like starting a thread about the latest model of receiver gloves.

because he was 11 feet off the ground!
October 2nd, 2016 at 1:14 PM ^
And Baumgardner has the same question posted at his site, so it's not stupid, at least as a discussion
October 2nd, 2016 at 1:17 PM ^
Because Baumgardner is the barometer of what is an intelligent football debate? I'd argue almost the opposite.
October 2nd, 2016 at 1:15 PM ^
if he had showed up in the dark and left in the dark..... it would somehow be better

The Woodson INT occurred in the late 3rd quarter of a 13-7 game. We went on to score ten more points (and intercepted more passes) to put the game away but it was tight for a long time, including up to that moment.

I guess it could've ended up in the receiver's hands, but it seems unlikely. And I think there are two things that swing the debate easily to the Woodson catch. One, if Woodson had dropped it, Sparty would've still had the ball and the game would've still been in doubt, whereas if Lewis drops it, it's still a game-clinching play. And two, Woodson had to worry about the landing; Lewis did not.

Were you alive for Woodson's, WD? This is not even a question.
Woodson's was as spectacular of a catch, on the road, against a rival (coached by Saban), and had the added element of having to get a foot in bounds.
Lewis made an incredible catch, but it's not Woodson's.

2016-21=1995.
It was great enough to have conversation about it.

He asked me if I was alive. You weren't even born.
The cranky folks don't even know which one I think was a better play. I didn't say it.
I just want to hear opinions because it was a debate at our tailgate last night.
One of our tailgate pals (a young lady) got the gloves from the @JourdanJD interception. SIGNED.

I'm going to need twitter evidence that you are 21. Tweets with less than 21 retweets or fewer than 21 favorites are invalid. I'm also going to need proof that you could tweet at 2 years of age.

So you were at the game?
