it's magically resting against the side of his hand

Probably did, where is the picture that proves it?

 

To overturn the TD you would need to have indisputable evidence.. I'm still waiting..

[nzoner 937]

Everyone talking about the non TD call and nothing about the receiver getting mauled prior to the INT which was clearly a PI which also sealed the game.I didn't have a dog in the fight but I've seen a lot lesser contact in the NFL result in a PI call.

You're right on the indisputable part.

 

My guess is, they saw it move, like everyone else and assumed it hit the ground.

 

Not the 1st time a call has been overturned based on assuming.

Gronk never gets interfered with. how many PI calls on a defender covering him yesterday?

[Cruzer 1,995]

The ball hit the ground. Dumb rule though.

 

Seems to me once you break the plane it should be over. I suppose the problem is what if you never had possession before breaking the plane? But in this case he clearly did.

Exactly my thoughts on this......... He had possession and broke the plane well before the ground ever came into play - Touchdown.

 

Just another example of how the NFL is ruining their game.

It's all Calvin Johnson's fault.

 

All that bitching and moaning for a meaningless TD, for a meaningless team, has caused this

anyone with a brain knew it hit the ground, right??

 

still, the video didn't show it to be conclusive. I want to know how they could assume conclusiveness?

I thought the goal line view was very conclusive. I honestly can't even believe people are still bothering to argue it. The ball clearly came out of his control when he hit the ground and the league has been pretty consistent in this call for at least a couple years now.

Where was that angle from and did the refs have that picture when they reviewed it?

 

I believe the ball hit the ground, that doesn't matter..

 

I want to know how the refs made the determination that there was inconclusive evidence that forced them to overturn the call..

 

 

I thought that was needed, even with that picture, we can't see his other forearm. How it was up against the other side of the ball..

The video above is conclusive IMO. I would guess that's what the refs were looking at.

[Djgb13 2,339]

Well no use crying over spilled milk. Refs made the decision. Even gave an explanation on it. Time to move on

Yeah, that's the fun of being a sports fan. Let's talk about other stuff.

Hrmm, ok, strange that we didn't see that exact picture during the broadcast.

 

We'll have to agree to disagree on conclusiveness.

[parrot 789]

I'm still trying to figure out why they picked up the illegal man downfield flag on the Steelers' first TD. I guess they didn't know which of the multiple illegal men downfield to call it on?

[Djgb13 2,339]

Yeah, that's the fun of being a sports fan. Let's talk about other stuff.

Like Derek Carrs touchback? Or ref using paper to measure a first down? James brown tweeting out porn links? Panthers owner deciding to sell? Jesus Christ man theres so much more to talk about than well its not a catch and heres why or no it was a catch and heres why. Rinse and repeat. Thats all this thread has been since it happened. Jesus man get a hobby

Well, it's a thread about the game where this play decided it. How are you going to read your patients charts if you can't read that?

[listen2me 23 1,873]

No catch by the rule I guess.

 

I would maybe argue catching it and then reaching for teh GL is a "football move" and then the ground can't cause a fumble.

 

But other than that it isn't a catch by the rule. But yeah I agree the rules are blurred and dumb. Would help their product if they came up with a much easier formula for a catch next year.

Neither of you won anything besides showing you have little knowledge of the rule. The ground does come in to play since he was in the process of making the catch and going to the ground. The whole break the plane thing only applies when he has made the catch and is not falling to the ground, has control and is making his way to the goal line. This is not argueable or debateable. There is no rebuttal. The validity of the rule can be debated sure, but the result of the play cannot.

[mighty_thor 115]

Well the good thing about the Patriots benefiting from this call is that they will now finally change the catch rule. Anytime the pats win because of a controversial rule or by exploiting a rule, the NFL ends up changing the rule.

I know exactly what the rule is. And I also l know its one of the top 3 dumbest rules in the NFL.

You have to give credit to BB about this stuff. When Polian went crying and got the rule changed BB went out and got Moss and just started chucking it. Hasn't stopped. How did that work out Polian?

Exactly. Don't listen to him. He's poor and a Sandy Hook truther.

If you know the rule, you would not say it was a catch or fight for being one of the first to say what cruzer said, which is dead wrong. Your second statement is a perfectly valid opinion.
