Once again a team Pittsnurgh got robbed by a poorly written/ undefinable rule. Seems in this situation once the ball crosses the plain it's over. But apparently not. Either way I'll take it we needed that

The ground can cause a fumble.The ground can't cause a fumble.
It can cause an incomplete pass, though.
i predicted over 100 yards and at least 1 TDI did
You should have
tomlin called that fake clockingBen tosses Todd Haley under the bus
tomlin called that fake clocking
pats saw it coming, just like seattle on their fuck up.
Ben tosses Todd Haley under the bus
Yup...I heard that. He's been a very good QB for his career....but I swear he just doesn't get it.
It's not poorly written, and it's very definable. If it were a running play, then crossing the line would end the play; however the rules for catching are different, and require the player maintain control all the way to the ground which he did not.
Now, it's a dumb rule, but it's the rule nonetheless.
same as the tuck rule
called right
blame tomlin for doing that dumbass fake clocking if the ball. pats saw it coming.
Yup
Whether he agrees with clocking it or not, Haley isn't telling him to force a throw into triple coverage to Eli Rogers
did you see how pissed off gronk looked?The fake spike was so dumb
Plenty of time to call a play there
Boomer this morning saying veteran QBs there run the offense, and he was surprised Ben was taking instruction from the sideline
I'm not exactly sure what happened as far as the action was concerned (game was on mute while I was watching SF/Tenn) but it looked like only one Pitt player ran a route while everyone just stood around. You're right that he shouldn't force that ball.
Him being touched or not is irrelevant on whether or not it's a catch though.I'm so fucking pissed. That was a fucking catch. He had possession of the ball, knee down, ball crosses the goal line. Play should be dead at that point. Even if it isn't, he wasn't touched. That was a mother fucking touchdown and we got fucking screwed. Typical Patriots win.
Dude... We aren't the first team to get the shaft in this scenario, and we won't be the last. Whichever way you want to see it, the rulebook states someway or another that the receiver has to maintain possession throughout contact with the ground. It is what it is.I'm so fucking pissed. That was a fucking catch. He had possession of the ball, knee down, ball crosses the goal line. Play should be dead at that point. Even if it isn't, he wasn't touched.
