Complain about the rule all you want, but I don't see how people are arguing the call. It's nothing like the Dez call, here he had a hand underneath the ball.

Dez was tackled by Sam Shields, and reached as he was going down, if you willingly make a dive for the end zone after securing the ball for a catch with no defender influence, that's a catch.

And once that process starts you need to maintain control all the way down He did control it through the process. It bobbled after the process was complete and he made a football move Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lancerman Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 2 minutes ago, Dodo said: 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. Doesn't matter. It IS the rule. It's the exact same as the Dez catch. The refs are all defending it because they understand the rule and have went over this a million times. You're right it's an imperfect rule, but the truth is the only way to reverse it would essentially fundamentally change the entire definition of a catch and lead to a lot of incompletions being fumbles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Hitch Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 The call was right from what I understand What shocks me is that the Steelers still had the chance to win and a certain tie if they wanted it. And THAT happens. Just bounces up into the hands of a pat. Unbelievable. Can't see anyone else in the sb now that they almost certainly have hfa.

Quark3 Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 I missed this game, just looked at the stats. Looks like the Steelers outplayed New England. How'd they lose? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's clear as day that he didn't have control and then make a football rule. A lot of people like yourself seem to have the mistaken impression that a football move = catch. It has to be catch THEN football move. It's SEPARATE ACTIONS. This coming from the guy who whined because Brady's pocket presence doesn't get enough recognition. Shoo, shoo.

tom cody Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 They got to be more consistent in their play calling IMO. A great game was ruined by a very ? call. To me it's a catch and should have stood, shame to see a great game ruined like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It should have been a touchdown. He did not have possession, because he did not survive the ground, whether he made a football move or not doesn't matter.

Thelonebillsfan Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 2 minutes ago, tonyto36 said: If I was playing a backyard or rec game? No it's a catch. But the NFL has billions of dollars on the line and the NBA already went through a scandal that cost the owners tens of millions of dollars. The owners/league have legislated the game so it takes the judgment out of refs hands. Just like the tuck rule, in the "spirit of the game" it's a bad call, but by the letter of the law, it's black and white, not even close, no-catch. In what universe is this called consistently and has been legislated to take judgement out of refs hands? This rule does nothing but place untowards judgement into refs hands. And is called different ways every single game, even within the game itself it is called differently. And will you stop saying it's "not even close" obviously it is, the arrogance of Patriots fans is getting quite old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
43M Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 Patriots won....I respect the outcome....congrats. But you Patriots fans would be arguing against the ruling if it happened to you guys....so enough with the "you guys just salty" stuff. Again, I agree the call was right on the field......but its based on a completely stupid rule that has decided big games like it did here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
