He was going to the ground as part of the process of making the catch. He dives for it-- he HAS to maintain possession throughout. His hand is under the ball, but it moves and touches the ground slightly-- the ground has officially helped him control the ball, which invalidates the catch. It was the right call. Painful, but the right call. No, that's the not rule, or what happened. The ball can touch the ground, and it can still be a catch. Besides, he made a football move- reaching out over the goaline, making it a catch. 100% 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjt328 Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 Ball moved. But did it hit the ground? Not one replay showed the ball hitting the ground. Ask the replay official if he saw the ball hit the ground, and I guarantee he says no. There is supposed to be undisputed evidence to overturn a call on the field. But the refs decided to overthink it. The refs are the worst part of the NFL, and have been for a long time. The league thinks controversies like this are gold. But they ruined the premier game they have been hyping for months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avisan Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 1 minute ago, Real McCoy said: Well the Division title is gone on that BS Pats win. BS call man. full possession was there when the ball broke the plain. As soon as the ball broke the plain with possession it was a TD. Not until he completes the catch. Because he dove for it, he needs to maintain possession all the way through the catch. It's the exact same rule as if he caught the pass in the endzone. There's no magical exception for getting possession of the ball outside the endzone and bringing it inside-- he needs to maintain possession through the catch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Painful, but the right call. What part of plucking the ball out of the air, pulling it into his body then extending out, does not show possession of a ball. If he had t “caught” the ball he would not be able to do any of that. This is just silly. And stay with the call on the field. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nitro Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 This crap in Pittsburgh is why the lawyer attitude running the league is slowly killing it. The kid caught the ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mannc Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 Only question is whether it was a worse reply reversal than the one against the Jets earlier this year. Both are in the top three worst of all time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think that's a "football" move or something dumb like that. Bad rule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaBillsFanSince1973 Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 1 minute ago, Kelly the Dog said: That's really one of the worst calls ever. Because if you watch the replay the only reason he is able to reach out to try to make it to the endzone is because he has total possession. He brings it IN before he thrusts it out. That is indisputable proof he has possession of the ball. So it's a TD. my thought was he had possession, reached across the goal line (TD right there) with the ball in his hands and came down on he ball IN the end zone and it bobbled some from coming down on it? why is it that it was always my understanding that the ball crossing the goal line was a TD? is this a new rule or are pockets being laced once again for the cheaters**? some want to be snide about commenting on not watching anymore, but you have to admit, seeing **** like that has ruined the nfl. they suck for that call, big time.

RyanC883 Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 (edited) If it wasn't the Pats****, the Steelers easily win. Two reasons: (1) Gronk would have gotten a MULTIPLE game suspension for his hit on White; and (2) that TD call on the field stands. None of this micro analysis, which is NOT supposed to happen with a replay. Edited December 18, 2017 by RyanC883 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was going to the ground as part of making the catch, so he needs to hang onto the ball throughout the whole process. The moment the ball shifted, rocked, and the point touched the ground, the ground helped him control the ball. No catch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
