Should is not the same as was
By the current rules it wasn't a catch. If you want to change the rules and make it one then fine. |
How about when a player sacks the QB, who is standing still in the pocket, and he drops the ball. Will this be forward progress or a fumble?

Just in time for the washed up receiver.

How ****ing dumb is that they are just seeing it NOW?? What a joke.
|
"A source tells ESPN the chances of a revised pass interference rule being enacted this season is a long shot."
well, of course, easiest way to get a game competitive again if it's an early blowout. PI in the NFL is shady. |
|
I don't know what is so ****ing difficult about this issue. IF YOU CATCH THE BALL, IN YOUR HANDS OR AGAINST YOUR BODY, AND TWO FEET TOUCH THE GROUND, THEN IT'S A CATCH. IF YOU THEN LOSE THE BALL AGAINST THE GROUND, IT'S A FUMBLE.

Translates to. "Ok, you got us. It's rigged. But we will admit where we made a few of the wrong calls. Gonna keep rigging games and giving officials big payouts for playing along, so you guys can still **** off but we just wanted to let you all know we feel you. For those still demanding more of an appology call 1-800-OUR-BAD"
|
How can it be a catch in the future? It already happened. Hello, McFly!
|
Why is this so difficult to understand? The title means that a catch in the future that is "like" Dez Bryant's 2014 catch will now be ruled a catch.

Because chiefs, right? I mean we finally get a qb who can chuck it and donks and fade will just knock our receivers down evertime am I rite

If you are over thirty years of age, or have watched pro football for 15 plus years, and you still think it's not rigged, you're pretty gullible.
That or you're proudly raping your friends and family our of enough money in fantasy that it's in your best interest not to let the horrible truth out. |

Yeah, you are forgetting that in the NFL, the ground CAN ABSOLUTELY cause a fumble because you need to be touched down. If you fell to the ground without a defensive player causing that or touching you down, then the ground will cause that fumble. Saying the current rules suck is easy. FIXING them is hard. I can see it now -- guy grabs the ball, two feet touch down and a tenth of a second later before he secures the ball he gets blown up or the ball is stripped out. Expect to see ALOT more fumbles if they go that route. :shrug: |

If you have two feet (one knee, etc) down in the endzone and the ball secured for a moment, it is a TD. If you have the ball secure the moment you touch out of bounds (after getting two feet in bounds) it is a catch. A catch/non-catch in the open field stays the same. Fans may not realize it yet, but they don't want the new rules applied to the middle of the field because it will result in too many catch/fumbles. I don't think they want that and neither do I. Almost all of the issues are regarding TD's and out of bounds. So tweak the rules where the PR problem is. |

LMAO People complain about the rules but just with four people in this thread we’re 50/50 (I think it was a catch as well). |
The only way this is still not going to make people upset is that they implement the same rules as runners entering the end zone and if the rules are the same as when WR's are catching the ball not in the end zone.
|
James catch was a TD as was the one against the Jets. TWO gifted wins by a team on blown/stupid rules/ calls is inexcusable.
|
They typically admit they were wrong
Way after it ever matters or makes a difference The NFL is crooked as hell with their replay bullshit |

Lol it's a catch. He gained possession at the 5 yard line and had complete control of the ball after taking 2 steps and dove for the pylon. Only reason he lost it was because he dove at the end and the ground jarred it loose. He didn't bobble the ball.

How about Kelces (non)TD catch that was ripped out of his hands after he had both feet down in the end zone? Will anything change on that?

There is zero transparency in decisions as to why or what rule determined the outcome Inconsistent rulings although I don’t recall a specific example. How many times have they gotten it wrong on the field and forced a team to use a challenge to correct the call. Yes, that’s the point of replay etc but replay isn’t used as a tool to get the call correct in my opinion, it’s a gamble that costs teams timeouts if New York says so. Overall I think the officiating itself has made me think the worst of the NFL, replay is just one part of the overall problem of officiating and officiating bias |

But the most disgusting call was OP against our own WR near the end of the half. When the Ari. CB tried to bump him 5 yards in, fell down on purpose hoping to draw a flag, didn't get one, Smith scrambles long enough to keep the play alive and throw a easy TD to the wide open receivier - AS SOON AS THE REF SEES ITS GOING TO BE AN EASY TOUCHDOWN - FLAG!!!!!! You literally see him reach in and throw it in the same exact seconds the ball in landing in our WR's hands - 100 percent totally blatant bullshit. |

It was the TE, IIRC. I'm seeing Fasano in my head. |

How is that not crooked that the officials present do not actually make the calls themselves.. |
