WOW! I have seen some bad calls today... one was as I said in the thread of the exact same play happening withing minutes of each other and going 2 seperate ways... Then the final play of the LIONS v BEARS. Add to that the Wes Welker TD in front of the goal line, the Spot in the GIANTS game that gave them a 1st down... Shit, I mean these guys are professionals?
process If I hear a commentator talk about process again I'll throw something. Any official or announcer who could not see that was a touchdown should get another job. Does the player have to take the ball into the locker room to have it count as a score? Is the officiating so poor that they have to create a rule that absolves the officials of making a decision on a play?
The call was correct. The rule was the problem just like with the Tom Brady fumble in the 2001 Raiders-Patriots divisional playoff game.
I recall the same exact call last year in the playoffs vs San Diego, Leonhard (iirc) picked Rivers, turned, and fell and lost the ball somehow. Everyone one here was shitting bricks
I don't think he picked him. Are you talking about the play where he tackled Legedu Naanee right after he caught the ball, forced a fumble and got the ball with his helmet off?
You know what I think that was it. Instead of a completion, it was ruled incomplete (but for the same reason), and he didn't get to "recover the fumble"
I still don't think it was called correctly. The rule is here: When does touching the ground end? His knee went down first and he clearly had possession. No time frame is specified. And where does this "process of making the catch" come from? It isn't in the rule unless it was tweaked in the offseason. And what's the difference between the Moore conversion in the SB and this play?
Agreeing with this. It almost looked in slow motion as if he were spiking it after a TD. Terrible call.
Yea my bad, both of you guys are right. I'm pretty sure it was Floyd, and Leonhard did pick Rivers which led to Keller's TD
