Now that the Patriots team will be blown up in the offseason (not to mention the Brandin Cooks no-catch in Tampa Bay game, Jets no catch, Steelers no catch and Bills no catch), yeah...we better figure this out now. 

Afraid of the lawsuit I want to file

Any rule change is utterly irrelevant unless enforced fairly. 

 

Most people actually don't mind the catch rule it's the way that a catch for some teams is a drop for others. It is currently used as a way of getting the Patriots* to the Superbowl swinging at least 3 games from losses to wins for them this year, sounds like it's working as intended?

Well, congratulations Rog. You built this mess, take some responsibility.

 

Edit...damm, he looks almost as saintly as Marrone in that top pic.

 

every sport is damaged by overuse of replay

 

football is the least of it

The rule is the problem, not replay. When everyone watching a game knows it's a catch, it's a catch. They have convoluted the rule so much that it has become embarassing. That's squarely on Rog's shoulders.

By now we should be used to it being a hassle over every alleged reception unless the man does a ten second chorus line dance with 5 teammates, gets a Sharpie to autograph the ball, never letting the ball go until he emulates crapping the ball onto the field after all that.

 

 

I don’t have a problem with hard enforcement on control for a reception.

 

 

I would accept that a receiver at some point becomes a runner with the ball, as they have deemed a QB becomes a runner under certain parameters.

The problem is Al Riveron looking for any reason to overturn a call. It's supposed to be clear and obvious, not the two hours micromanaging and greatly affecting games. That guy is an idiot. 

 

For the the most part the refs get it right. When they clearly get it wrong it's easy. What Riveron was doing this year is inexcuseable. Replay is the problem, not catches 

 

Not sure why every other sport can get this right but the NFL can't.
