Kittle's catch was the play of the year, but Greenlaw's tackle was very consequential too.

Oops, thanks for catching that. Lame typo on my part.
I just want to vote for Kittle 5 times
If we win the super bowl, the Kittle and Greenlaw plays will play on a loop for yeaaars to come

Completely agree. 1981, The Catch and The Stop. Would love for Kittle and Greenlaw's plays to become immortalized in that manner. Especially since the latter came at Seattle's expense.

Edit: correcting more of my typos. Sheesh...still exhausted from New Years.

I vote for greenlaw and its not even close imo.

Kittles grab was very impressive but he had the 4th down when he caught the ball. What he did after the catch was super impressive and made the fg attempt that much easier BUT the niners still had a chance to drive the field after he caught the ball

Greenlaws play clinched the nfcw and a first round bye. If the seahawjs player gained two inches, that would have been game right there.


Kittles play was more impressive but greenlaws play was more crucial

Kittle's facemask play was the most awesome.
Greenlaw's play was the most important.

I'll go with Greenlaw's play because it directly determined the outcome of the game.
Both plays we're super impressive but I'd have to go with greenlaw Just because of the situation at the time and it was against the shehawks.
Hope the rookie wins it

The Bosa tip-pick vs. Carolina was a heck of a play as well.

I don't know. Kittle doesn't make that play and we lose to New Orleans, we end up with the #3 seed playing Minnesota this weekend. Also, the Week 17 match-up would still be big, but not as big.

Both plays were extremely important for our season and playoff positioning, but Kittle's play was more awesome and more impactful imo.

Gould still had to make the winning FG to win it in NO. Where as Dre pretty much end it there at the 4th&goal.

Minimal differences, but in deciding between the 2 plays, it's a deciding factor for me.
Greenlaw should be the no doubter, given the magnitude of the situation that night.
