You know, I didn't have a dog in the fight in that New England vs. Pittsburgh game, but the Steelers got hosed. That was a fucking touchdown. Yes it bobbled a little in his hand, but he wasn't even contacted when he went to the ground and he had possession while breaking the plain. They need to just put a rule in place that as long as the ball stays in contact with the player and he ends up with possession it's a catch. This shit is getting ridiculous.

Yup. Ridiculous. Question...

If James gets touched when his knee hits, before his reach over the goal line. Would he be down by contact?

An obvious catch. Obvious control. The is the Dez catch on steroids. His knee down, moving the ball over the goal line. Once the plain is broken, it's over.

NFL has got to change this disgrace from their rule books.

 

[HaroldSeattle]

Yup.............AB pretty much seals my fate

IDK if I’m going to win, but I got a decent chance. Shady needs 27 with Freeman and Morris.

 

[TKOSpikes]

Must have taken a lot for Romo to hold his tongue on the rule.

Well regardless on whether or not you pull it off, you certainly picked the right opponent.

Welp... Rotten luck or epic collapse, whichever point of view you take... My season's over! Good win
@MilkSpiller22

bad luck there... but luckily for you that was NOT the reason(not sure if that will ease your pain or not).... i just had a great week from Gurley....

Yeah you got pretty lucky with the way the games ended this time around. No idea why Wilson was playing in a 40-0 game in the second half and that D Lewis TD was pretty weak on the Steelers defense.

Rogers did OK in garbage time, speaking of luck.

Yeah you probably would have lost already if 3 of my players didn't get knocked out of the games. But i'm the lucky one lol.

Hey you have a chance with two players left. Make it count, if not tough titties.

I have been out all day. Did NE win on another BS TD that the officials called a fumble?

 

[SoShady]

I think Harold just became a Raiders fan. Best OL in the NFL my butt.

Nope, this time they won on a Pittsburgh touchdown catch that was called not a catch upon further review. This is the part I really don't think makes any sense about the rule. If that exact same play happens and a defender comes up and puts his helmet right on the ball and dislodges it after it has crossed the plane, then it's a touchdown because the play is over as soon as the ball crosses the plane. But because he was going to the ground on his own accord without being forced to the ground by a defender and it wobbled it's not a touchdown even though he had complete control of the ball when he crossed the plane? How does that rule make any sense whatsoever?

I want to slap Carr.

That fumble and Morris somehow not scoring on the previous drive are gonna cost me the title in your league. (That and Olsen on my bench.)

So NE will get home field advantage because of two questionable calls. I have seen the play now. I can't say much because of the Calvin catch/ no catch against Chicago a few years ago. The rule was bad then and even after twicking it, the NFL could not get it right.

Damn thought it would be close but that's a heartbreaker for sure.

It's close.

Julio -11 vs Freeman tomorrow.

But Julio +1 woulda been nice. Lol

Yea he wasn't the only reason. Funchess was a complete failure. He had a great matchup and was projected to dominate. 19yds... Lovely. Also failed with my flex of Lamar Miller.

Oh well! Shame to fall flat on my face in the playoffs, but it was a great year!

Good luck to you & @Ram Tough !

 

[MilkSpiller22]

fun how things change so fast... Last season @Ram Tough and I were fighting NOT to get demoted to the B-League... Now we are in the finals...


I Blame @TREFF

Think PIT got robbed. Earlier in the day the packers had the same issue. The on air official said if you turn and make a football move up field it is a catch and fumble. Jesse caught, turned up field CROSSED THE GOALLINE, then fumbled hitting the ground. Whatever happened to "ground can't cause a fumble."

Must have taken a lot for Romo to hold his tongue on the rule.

I like Romo in the booth.
