grammer_police Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 Didn't it look like the ball hit the ground, and he just covered it up with this body? It was challenged, and perhaps the replay wasn't conclusive, but when they showed the replay I actually thought it had a decent chance of being overturned. Anyone else notice this?

Yeah I did notice that. Mabey if we petition the Roger Goodell, he'll just "give it to us" and we will be the win! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ball did hit the ground, but that doesn't make it incomplete ever since the rules were changed after the Tampa Bay/St. Louis NFC Championship game about 10 years ago. He kept complete control of the ball all the way to the ground and didn't trap it, so it was a catch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BEAST MODE BABY! Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 The Ben Watson "completion" looked eerily similar to the Oakland non-completion for a TD. IN fact , the officiating crew sited the same rule, but came to 2 different conclusions. Explain that one to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cmjoyce113 Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 The difference was that Watson didn't bobble the ball and the receiver in the Oakland game did. That is what made that not a catch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, I never even saw the ball move at all once Watson had it. It was really an excellent catch, as much as I hate to admit it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guava Kai Buffalo Soljahs Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 great throw, great catch and a good call. this one, not so much. http://touchdown.org/new-england-patriots/...-first-down.php I hadn't seen that screen shot yet but I felt like they were giving the patriots really good spots all game. It sucks when it feels like even the refs are against us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try everyone watching the game since it was reviewed and shown over and over again. He had control of the ball. The ball is allowed to touch the ground as long as you have possesion first or simultaneoulsy. It dates back to the Tampa Bay St. Louis Rams playoff game.
