Both huge catches, both in the middle of the field, both players make a great catch in traffic, both players get hit and hang on to the ball, both gave the 49ers the vitory, both guys cried after. To dismiss all those similarities due to the amount of points we were down is rediculous.

Give me a break...

If Dwight Clark drops the Catch the Niners had another down also.

Who cares? Still the biggest play in recent team history and who knows where they go from here...

Obviously, the other two were more difficult but the circumstances (not so much the difficulty of the catch) make it worth of being called the Catch III IMO. Just those two drives and having someone that was drug through the gutter making that play and then Vernon on the receiving end who I know most 9er fans at one point had had enough of him. So yeah, the other two much more difficult and the 1st one was bigger, this might be bigger than TO's catch II but just you have to take into account it wasn't Rice, Young, pro bowl line all across the board, Owens, etc... think of what was accomplished and by who and what they have been through.
