THEIR RULE states a play will only be overturned on INDISPUTABLE VIDEO EVIDENCE. What part of that do you not understand? LOL. **** man, I'm just so ******* sick of this rigged ass game and that punk ass team getting every break. **** Brady. **** Kraft. **** Boston. **** Len Bias. **** Myra Kraft. And no Boston, your little bombing incident is not comparable with what happened on 9/11 so enough of the attempts at comparison. Good night. 3 minutes ago, FidelioJet said: He had possession - there's no argument there - but he has to complete the catch - meaning he can't then bobble it when he hits the ground. That's the rule... It was the right call - the rule is beyond stupid but it's the rule. Gets called pretty much every time that way. (honestly though - had that been Gronk the call stands) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BloodGreen Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 I’m done. So long NFL. NHL will get my viewership from now on. Pro Football has become a really stupid game and lacks all objectivity. It is controlled by an individual that is not even in the building.

Did he need to do the worm, cabbage patch, and the robot too? "football move" is for establishing yourself as a runner when not going to the ground. When going to the ground, you must maintain control throughout the catch. The ball is allowed to touch the ground IF you maintain control (i.e. it doesn't move). The rule doesn't care whether the player was touched or not. Here the runner was going to the ground, the ball hit the ground and moved. Ergo, not a catch. This is very consistently called most weeks. If he started the catch with both feet in the end zone and the same thing happened (dropping to one knee, untouched, ball hits the ground and moved) it would just as equally not been a catch. Similarly if it happened in the middle of the field, catch the ball, try to turn upfield but trip, fall to one knee untouched, then flop forward and ball hits the ground and moved, it also would not be a catch.

Sorry but that is bullsh*t. He had control when the ball broke the plane. It shifted when it hit the ground and I thought the ground could not cause a fumble? I am just so pissed off right now at what a once great game has become. This was pure and unadulterated horsesh*t plain and simple. I think it may be time to take a break from this game for a little bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he caught the ball at the 10, ran to the goal line, tripped over his own shoelaces and fell across the goal line, THEN lost the ball, it would be a TD. Here he was never established as a runner. That being said, the ground ABSOLUTELY CAN CAUSE A FUMBLE in certain situations. If a runner trips in the open field, untouched by an opponent, and loses the ball when he hits the ground, that is 100% a fumble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jared Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 You can argue about changing the rule if you want. I don't really care what the rule is, frankly. Every team plays with the same rulebook. The important part was that he was falling to the ground. When that occurs, you have to maintain control all the way to the ground. He decided to risk it by lunging to the end zone while falling, and paid the price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should definitely check out the books, I just don't read as much as I used to, and it seems like most of my favorite TV shows are comic book/novel adaptations. Ever read/watched Hap & Leonard on the Sundance channel? James Purefoy and Michael K. Williams have great chemistry in that, and I've always loved Williams since The Wire and Boardwalk Empire.

He clearly caught the ball, brought it in, was then a runner, who only had to go a foot and then his entire body was down when he then extended his arms out to break the plain. He made a Football move by lunging forward and extending the ball. It was a TD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right and I fully understand the point about the ball carrier and establishing yourself as a runner etc. He only had to go a couple extra feet.
