If reaching the ball for the goal line isn't a football move they need to change the rules

[VikingsAD28]

That reversal of that catch is just the NFL's way to get the matchup they want.

 

[flyerhawk]

It was the the right call.

 

[bksballer89]

learn the rules

 

[geezer]

It was the the right call.

Exactly, they have made that call before and made it the same way. Ball touched the ground. He lost control.
Remember Calvin Johnson just a couple years ago?

100% correct rule enforcement.


That is the Calvin Johnson rule which has been seen before.


The rule might be a dumb rule like the Tuck rule, but it was 100% correctly enforced.

 

[podsox]

it is the correct call. blame the league not the officials.

 

[JMR]

1) the correct call was made by the current rule set


2) I think the rules for determining catch vs incomplete vs catch and fumble need to be re-looked.

 

[MrS]

Same exact reversal happened last night to earl thomas. Correct call both times.

 

[fordman84]

sheesh, it was the right call. I knew it in real time, and it sucked. I just got up and walked out of the room so I could curse about the playcall without my 3 year old learning new words.

You guys are missing the original poster's point: it may be the right CALL, but the RULES are bad and need to be changed.

Read the rest of what he wrote.

Ok by NFL standard Dez had the ball and was tangled up with the Green Bay defender as soon as Dez's elbow hit the ground he should be down by contact. Thats if you believe he had the ball and got both feet down in bounds.

The rule sucked, it sucked when Calvin Johnson had a TD taken away, and it still sucks today. The call could have been.... not enough to over rule the call on the field.

 

[Old Lion]

Its a suck rule. Along with the tuck rule and many others. The NFL is becoming a joke.

You are clearly the one that isn't paying attention.

 

[Lakers+USC=#1]

I will never get over the tuck rule.

 

[Tainthappening]

100% correct rule enforcement.

I agree on both points... hopefully rule thrown out.

Rather they give Dallas ball at 1 and Rodgers have 4 minutes to win the game.

 

[anotheridiot]

fuck this rule, I dont care which team you are a fan of, we are all football fans.

Its simple, if the ground cannot cause a fumble, then why the fuck can it cause an incomplete pass.

 

[bigdaddytorr]

I stand by the rule and don't think any rule changes should be made.

 

[Wazmankg]

I just watched it from dvr. I missed the 2nd half.... had something to do. The Boys got screwed big time. He took 2 steps and reached for the goal line all with the ball securely in his possession. If those aren't "football moves" I don't know what are. Pereira is an idiot. This was worse thatn the one that went against Megatron. Do I feel bad ? Hell no. Now if the Hawks clown the Pack next week the order of things will bve restored and all will be well with the football universe.

Calvin Johnson was a catch.

I'm a bears fan and I thought it was a catch then and it still is. The NFL needs to fix their rules.
