Also to overturn a call it has to be conclusive. No way that was.

They mentioned this on the Ticket; and it is a little amusing; Dez thought they were reviewing as to whether he scored a TD not if it was a catch.

What does 'going to the ground' have anything to do to change the elements of what a catch is?

Years ago, a catch was 2 feet down.

Now, it's 2 feet down and a football move....well, unless the receiver was going to the ground. Then, maintaining possession through the fall, regardless of how many feet down, and after the completion of the fall until the receiver is 100% fallen and starting his post-fall move. THEN...it's a catch.

I dunno. Goodell makes 44 million a year but he isn't doing shit for me.

He makes lots of money for Jerry and his pals.

The game sucks. I don't care that the Cowboys lost today, I've hardly watched all year. I just hate the NFL.
 
When your Sunday Night TV lineup is headlined by Julianna Margiules and Tea Leoni, it's time to rebuild.
 

:lol
 
As an aside...props to Bishop. He showed up today and was decent.

“Although the receiver is possessiong the football, he must maintain possession of that football throughout the entire process of the catch,” Steratore told a pool reporter after the game. “In our judgment, he maintained possession but continued to fall and never had another act common to the game. We deemed that by our judgment to be the full process of the catch, and at the time he lands and the ball hits the ground, it comes loose as it hits the ground, which would make that incomplete; although he re-possesses it, it does not contact the ground when he reaches so the repossession is irrelevant because it was ruled an incomplete pass when we had the ball hit the ground.”

Asked whether Bryant was down (and the play over) when Bryant’s elbow hit the ground, Steratore said it doesn’t matter.

“When you’re still going through the process of the catch, elbows or knees or irrelevant, he must complete that entire process with the football, maintain possession throughout.”

Though not specifically asked whether the “indisputable visual evidence” standard was met, Steratore said it was clear both to him and to V.P. of officiating Dean Blandino in New York that the ball hit the ground.

“Yes, there were a couple of angles that show the ball actually hitting the ground and then the receiver losing possession of it as well,” Steratore said.

If it takes you that long to explain your call, it's wrong.

I can explain why it's a catch in one sentence: the receiver maintained possession until he took 2 steps, was touched, and his knee and elbow hit the ground.

The play wasn't that complicated. It was a massive fuck up.
 
I wonder if Peyton might retire. He has a lot going for him after football. Is another season worth the risk?

He does not look like he wants to be out there anymore.
 
I thought Luck would get his come upence today but the opposite happened. Just goes to show you.
 
So, Pats vs Hawks Super Bowl...much as I hate to say it think we are in for months more of Wilson being crammed down our throats after they win

I'll take that over another Brady/Belichick SB win.

I don't know, at least Brady acts like he's been there before. Wilson on the other hand will take every commercial gig there is and they will be replayed until next season.
