Ok, I'm having a heated argument about "the Catch" was it lucky ( which is what i'm saying ) or was it skillful?

Not just the catch but the whole play.
 
Obviously it was both. Manning shedding those would-be tacklers to get the pass off was more impressive than the catch in my opinion. But the combination of both events in that single play makes it one of the greatest moments in sports history.

So technically, you're both wrong.
 
Being a Giants fan, I totally splooged when it happened.

Like KD said, it was both. Eli had to have some skill to get out of the pocket. But for Tyree to actually hold on to the ball, that was luck.
