The catch this past weekend by 49ers wide receiver Brandon Lloyd was a spectacular grab. He's a young receiver to watch for down the road. But his catch was not as great as my favorite Raiders catch by Ronald Curry last season.
Lloyd's catch didn't score a touchdown, he didn't have to adjust his body to the ball other than reaching with an outstretched hand, weather was not a factor and the game was not on the line at the time. And lest we forget, the 49ers didn't win the game.
But I'm no hater when it comes to the whiners, it was a highlight catch. But I'll never get tired of seeing the Ronald Curry catch against Denver on Sunday night in the snow. It was a thing of beauty and the Raiders were victorious that night.

One of the most thrilling games Ever played. Curry's snag in the snow was exactly what you said, "A thing of beauty"! Although this will always be known as "the catch" to me, it was over-shadowed by the snow, Jerry Porter Owning-and I mean OWNING Champ Bailey as well as the blocked field goal at the end. RRRAAAIIDERRRRRSSS!
