Not what i am saying at all. The picture I cited with the hand showing was clear, at least to me. Blowing it up to the point where it lacks resolution only makes it a blur - akin to looking at a Monet painting close up. Regardless, I feel pretty strongly that he didn’t catch it, but I realize that’s hard to argue this on a homer board (not meant pejoratively, btw) after it gets celebrated on a lousy NFL network show.

Fair enough but it seems to me that this is exactly the type of play that the architects of “clear and convincing evidence” had in mind when considering overturning the on-the-field call. There are questions that can be answered both ways, the on the field guy made the call and onward. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChronicAndKnuckles Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 Gabe Davis was my break out player this year. It's truly a shame that he's not out there on the field more being utilized. We need someone out their w/ a little size. I do think going forward that he will end up a perennial thousand yard receiver. I think he makes some key plays in the post-season and it's possible (knock on wood) someone will get injured. In that case, I am more than comfortable having a fresh Gabe Davis in the starting line up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blacklabel Posted November 18, 2021 Share Posted November 18, 2021 If you tap one foot two times would that count? That’s technically two steps…I thought he caught it. I though Saleh was a big dummy for throwing the challenge flag after the teams already switched personnel and he had five minutes to look at it, and he couldn’t put it together that even if he would’ve won the challenge and the pass was incomplete it wouldn’t have mattered because of the PI call. I’m sure he’s a good dude and knows some stuff but as a head coach I don’t think he has a clue what he’s doing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patrick Duffy Posted November 18, 2021 Share Posted November 18, 2021 Great game by Davis. Sometimes when getting a decent look at him running, he looks kinda like he's still in some pain or something. Just doesn't look quite right to me. Or maybe that's just the way he runs and I just didn't notice it before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a fantastic non-catch by him, but it was a non-catch, plain and simple. It was called a catch on the field, but the Jets absolutely would have won that if they challenged it. Davis's right foot never touches in-bounds after he gets control of the ball. You can see that in both angles, but especially the EZ angle. When the ball initially hit his hands, his right foot AND left foot were down, but then the ball bounces in the air--this means he doesn't have control yet--and then before he catches the ball again his right foot comes off the ground and doesn't touch the ground again until it's out. Wouldn't have mattered in terms of the flow of the game or the result of the play... it only matters for stats. But it was not a catch. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me, the still image does not show his foot off the ground and he does not lose possession of the ball from that point forward.

machine gun kelly Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 I hope we seen him more. If Bease’s ribs are slowing him down, why not sit him and use the hell out of GD. That’s the point of having a deep WR group. Allow Bease to get to 100% as we’ll need him down the stretch. You never know who might get dinged up and will need Bease back in two weeks.

My zoom in is also of the picture you say his foot is off the ground. You are wrong. Get past it. So we're supposed to just take your word for it that a zoomed in image is after that bobble? Do you actually know which bobble I'm even talking about? Watch this video graciously posted by @billsfan1959 Watch beginning at second 44. At first you think he might have it at second 48... which is possibly when you take your still--we don't know... we apparently just have to take your word for it. But as you watch from that angle you can see the ball is still moving and actually almost jumps out of his hands and he doesn't regain full control until second 52/53, when his right foot is undeniably in the air and his left foot also probably is. Then go to 1:02 and from the back angle you can see his right foot is up in the air after he gains control. This is a stupid argument because it was inconsequential in terms of the game. If it was challenged, we would have ended up there anyway. It's also inconsequential because it's still a great representation of Davis's incredible concentration and talent. And we KNOW he's great at those sideline catches already. It's just that this one wasn't actually a catch. That's okay. Davis still needs more field time. It's just that it wasn't a catch. And you're weird obstinate obsession arguing that it was doesn't change that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
