Let us get it straight about this Hail Mary blllsht. A hail mary pass is when you send a crowd to the endzone and throw that mofo high and long toward it. HOPING your guy gets it. The last play was nothing like that. TC broke away from coverage and was wide open running past the guy that finally came over. FF set his feet and threw it as hard (the only HM part of it even) as any man could to a spot TC could run under it. It was in the air so long I went and took a pizzz and came back before it landed. By the time it got there a safety had closed in somewhat. I have seen many Hail Marys. This was not even within a mile of one. So forget that "lucky hail mary" crap. He spotted TC and did what a good QB does.

made famous by a famous Cowboy QB, Rodger DOdgerA Hail Mary pass is a very long forward pass in American football, made in desperation with only a small chance of success. In the Hail Mary pass all receivers run straight toward the end zone and the quarterback will make a long pass that is often "up for grabs".
