This Picture Deserves it’s Own Thread

Not only was that an elite career defining catch, the skill level in order to capture it is just as elite. Taken by Derek Gee of the Buffalo News.

Good thing he pulled it away from Fitzpatrick or it would have been an interception.

That would be a nice pic to get autographed for my game room.

Disagree. If you watch, they both had possession, which equals a catch for the WR

Looked like Fitzpatrick had much more of it for a few seconds.

I disagree, I think it looked like Fitzpatrick took near full possession. It wasn’t a tie until Davis wrestled it back.

I was actually worried they would go to replay and establish possession for Fitzpatrick and call it a touchback.

I think if Minka rips it, it’s an INT, but if they both go to the ground with hands on it, it’s Gabes because he had possession first. It was very close

I expected that also.

Re: This Picture Deserves it’s Own Thread

The speculation on what would have happened if Davis did not fight for the ball, and WIN is besides the point.

He DID. With Fitz blanketed all over him, Davis made an exceptional fingertip, one handed catch.

It’s so typical of long suffering Bills fans to find the dark side of such an amazing moment.

But I also posted it because it is such an amazing image. Talk about capturing the moment!!!

That’s not how the possession rule works. It doesnt matter who had possession first.

Yes he did ...... it just didn't look like it he possessed the ball.

Only a great play by Gabe to get it back period.

Re: This Picture Deserves it’s Own Thread

If you watch the replay it doesn’t seem possible Davis was able to wrestle it back. Looks like Fitz almost had total control

Correct me if I’m wrong, but just having possession in the endzone isn’t a touchback. He has to get tackled or give himself up. Otherwise, it’s still a live play where he could have potentially ran it out.


I had the same thought as you initially, but then I realized a defensive player having the ball in the endzone is a live play. Once the offensive player gets it, it’s a touchdown and the play is over.

That was actually my favorite play of that game.

Likewise. Could have easily been a touchback. I was surprised no long review.

Re: This Picture Deserves it’s Own Thread

I almost thought they would review it and rule it an interception, then a forced fumble and fumble recovery by Gabe.

The old Bills would've easily turned that amazing 1 handed catch into an interception. In my mind, I can easily see something like this happening with Stevie Johnson or something. So glad that era is over.

I don't see how they could call it a touchback when Minkah was never down or gave himself up. There wasn't enough time. I think whoever came out of it with the ball would've been the possessing team.
