NFL robs the Steelers

[RobBase]

A RB can jump the line, put the tip over the goal line - DROP THE BALL COMPLETELY - and it's a TD - but THAT is not.

Lol

I really hate that rule. He caught the damn ball, but somehow it’s not a catch.

It was moving. And then the ground helped him pull it in. It's not a catch.

I understand the rule, but he did catch the ball. It’s a shit rule.

 

[Edonidd]

At least they let them finish the game. When the Lions scored a winning TD that they overturned they just said the game was over.

 

[flyingelvis]

I understand the rule, but he did catch the ball. It’s a shit rule.

But he didn't maintain possession to the ground.

 

[williewilliejuan]

But he didn't maintain possession to the ground.

As I said, I understand the rule. Not sure why you’re having trouble with that part.

 

[DJ]

But he didn't maintain possession to the ground.

But, if it were a Pats player......you'd be bitching about it......right?

It was moving. And then the ground helped him pull it in. It's not a catch.

He caught it.....it started moving around when he was coming down and stretching out to reach across the goal line.

I'd be bitching. But it wouldn't change the fact that it was the right call.

 

[DJ]

I'd be bitching. But it wouldn't change the fact that it was the right call.

And you're failing to understand nobody is disputing we all know it's a rule.....SMH.

 

[flyingelvis]

He caught it.....it started moving around when he was coming down and stretching out to reach across the goal line.

On a pass, you need to maintain possession to the ground. If it was a run, you'd be right.

I understand the rule, but he did catch the ball. It’s a shit rule.

I agree it's a shit rule. But it is the rule. It's not a catch.....

 

[DirtDirtDirt]

No one wins more huge games on "it's a shit rule, but it's a rule" than the NE Patriots

Should be on a banner hanging outside Foxboro

 

[SJ76]

Yeah man that ball didn't move until after it crossed the goaline. Complete BS

 

[Dude]

It's a BS rule, if it was a runner would be TD no question. But the ball did twist a bit in his hands as he crossed the goal line.

 

[TKOSpikes]

It's a disgrace of a rule.

If James is touched when his knee hits, this would be a catch. There is no debate on that. The fact that he stretched the ball over the goal line only proves control. What happens after the TD is moot.

That was a touchdown.

 

[sonnyblack65]

HAHAHAHA

 

[Moab]

LOL @ the Pat's gomers on here...while his left hand came off the ball, his right hand didn't. and Goodell just got a yes extend vote from Kraft...

Honestly, when I saw the replay I knew they were going to call no catch, it is what it is...

 

[TKOSpikes]

On a pass, you need to maintain possession to the ground. If it was a run, you'd be right.

Knee down. That is ground. What happened after that is the player lunging to the end zone, which he crossed, with control.
