New Catch of the Decade nominee
Not sure how many people saw it because it happened in the 49er game, but Brandon Lloyd made one of the best catches I have ever seen. Unfortunately it was called back on a penalty, but it was simple amazing. Here's a pic of him making the grab:
 And no, he wasn't standing still when he did it. It was at full speed. Amazing.

Re: New Catch of the Decade nominee
Marvin Harrison had a more impressive one sometime in the last 2 years.
Sprinting full speed, the only way he could catch the ball was by throwing himself forward and stretching out and catching it in one hand. Not only does he get the hand on the ball, but he then proceeds to twist his body IN MIDAIR so that he lands on his back instead of on his stomach, as the ball would certainly come out from him hitting his arm on the turf. Most impressive combination of physical prowess (which I think itself trumps Lloyd's catch) and presence of mind I have ever seen in a WR play.

Not to mention the pass was behind him, meaning his momentum was taking him the complete opposite direction. Harrision was awesome, Lloyd's was simply amazing.

Oronde Gadsden had a diving, one-handed catch a few years ago where he caught the cone of the ball in the crook of his wrist. I think that his and Lloyd's are probably the two best catches I've ever seen.

Re: New Catch of the Decade nominee
Lloyd had another excellent catch later on in this game. Plax Burress had an amazing catch as well he caught it with one hand and pinned it to his shoulder, he barely held on to it when the 49er corner was covering him.
