BayRaider Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 That was NOT the right call. Was across the goal line with nobody touching. Ball CAN move when crossing the goal line. It's dead as soon as it touches the first centimeter of the white line. If this was the playoffs IMO it'd go down as a Top 2-3 screwjob of all time.

Please tell me you think Brady didn't fumble that ball so I know you're literally the most biased person here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TD Same as the Dez incompletion. Lunging in the air is the same as falling. And once that process starts you need to maintain control all the way down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiei7 Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 The rule is bad, not the call. It's the same thing that happened to Dez. Complain about the rule all you want, but I don't see how people are arguing the call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodo Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 1 minute ago, Starless said: Here's Blandino. Do you personally agree that that should be the rule? If he had been touched immediately prior to getting up and stretching the ball out, would that not have been a catch and down by contact regardless if he was going to the ground? The officials basically determined that him catching it, willfully getting up and reaching out all constituted the one motion of him trying to catch the ball.

NS922 Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 He had possession and then made a "football move". It was two separate actions. It should have been a touchdown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once a player has the ball and makes a football move, it's a catch. The ball hitting the ground and subsequently moving happened after this. This was simply the incorrect call. Lunging while falling is not a football move.. and there is a precedent for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shady Slim Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 ftr if you're wondering why people think you're a **** and then turn around and comment "hurhur it is so funni 2 see all of the salteeeeee fans hurhurhurhur" then you shouldn't be questioning it much longer because regardless of what your opinion is here you should be able to agree IF the call was the correct call then that's a horrendous rule that makes precisely zero sense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodjahs12 Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 2 minutes ago, RedRider said: What about Rams fans? Vikings fans? You know a fan of every team out there is disagreeing with the call. What's the excuse you have for those fans? Or you know fans of other teams agreeing with the call even if we recognize New England is always on the right side of these things. Try again sweetie.

kramxel Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 2 minutes ago, Starless said: I saw no replay indicating that. He had the right hand underneath it, has the ball bobbled. But even if you consider the replay inconclusive, you have to go with the call on the field! The fact that they overturned it it's even more ridiculous.

Nodisrespect Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 3 minutes ago, tonyto36 said: Except he absolutely did not catch the ball then make a football rule. Like several ex NFL refs have explained, if you're coming down in the air, you have to complete it before you can make a football move. THe NFL has made it this way to take away risk of ref bias or judgment calls. It's black and white. He clearly did not catch the ball THEN make a football move. He tried to make a football move WHILE catching the ball and it came out in the process. Clear as day no catch. It's not even close.

hudson3010 Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 It is definately not a catch by rule, although this rule is a very stupid one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
