G.O.A.T.* open thread

Last night, amongst family and friends and while watching the BCS championship game, we were discussing Marshawn Lynch's epic crunch, ramble and dash into the endzone against the New Orleans Saints in the Seattle Seahawks' upset victory over the Saints on Saturday and whether or not it was the greatest playoff run of all-time.

Someone brought up Steve Young's similar-looking run against the Vikings back in the early nineties but that was a regular season game so it does not count.

So whaddya think? Was it the greatest of all-time*?

For the sake of simplicity and memories, we will limit this to the Super Bowl era so people like Bronco Nagurski, Marion Motley and Deacon Dan Towler are not eligible (yes, those three players were the product of two decision gates: great NFL running backs with great NFL names).


Check it out.




We love how #22 Tracy Porter of the Saints wants no further part of Lynch after getting violently shucked-off by Lynch at the 35.

Wow I don't know what game that was from but pretty cool! I'm always amazed they still send players up the middle but I guess this shows sometimes it works!

I gotta give it to Marshawn Lynch over Steve Young. Steve almost lost the football a few times and stumbled and fell into the end zone. (not to take anything away from a spectacular run) But Lynch was in control the entire way, with a bully beatdown before he was through.

You got me thinking about Gayle Sayers so I Utubed him..started watching highlight of both Sayers and Barry Sanders. These guys were amazing...consistently.

Remember, playoffs only. Young doesn't qualify. I only linked him because it was such a great run.
