Question about the Dez call....

[Albatross]

If he could have extended it another foot breaking the plane would it have been a TD or an incomplete pass? It looked to me like he had possession but the rules are the rules. So if he would have been 1 foot closer to the goal line would it be deemed an incomplete pass?

 

[lewis]

he took 3 steps......how many does he need??? he was reaching the ball to score......is that a football move after 3 steps?

Td

Dallas got fucked. That was a catchh

en ven in the end zone, the key here is " maintain the foot ball"

 

[scottcarter]

This is the official rule on receptions in the NFL:

"If a player goes to the ground in the act of catching a pass (with or without contact by an opponent), he must maintain control of the ball after he touches the ground, whether in the field of play or the end zone. If he loses control of the ball, and the ball touches the ground before he regains control, the pass is incomplete. If he regains control prior to the ball touching the ground, the pass is complete."


Basically what that means is simple. If a player goes to the ground while in the process of making a catch, he must control the ball all the way through until his momentum from the fall ends. If at any point before his momentum stops he loses control of the ball and it touches the ground, the pass is incomplete.

This was karma for last week, Dallas deserved it

 

[Albatross]

Td

That's what I thought, which makes no sense.

if he hit the ground in the endzone it would still be incomplete. The ground hit the hall out of his hands = incomplete,

 

[memphis]

if he broke the plain td he looked as though he was lunging or reaching but i dont believe in karma like the neysayers are exclaimed. . whats next the game is fixed. for good or bad game is over. karma? nah... come on man lol

Once he has possession and it crosses the plane is that not a td?

Last Warning

It was a football move, the NFL can take their replays & shove them where the sun don't shine........

 

[bwhitey14]

the problem is that everyone is letting their bet cloud their vision, in general. I think an objective viewer would tell you--after reading the NFL rule--that it wasn't a catch. either way--crazy

 

[what-a-donk]

It is not a TD if he does not maintain possession after hitting the ground. Remember the Megatron catch (clear TD by the eye ball test) a couple years ago started all this mess (or at least brought it to the forefront for the ESPN talking heads)

 

[chonce]

I thought it was the right call, but I am viewing this (as many of us are) through ro$e colered glassed -- I had second half under and that cashed me in. Wonder what I would be saying if I had the Over

The refs shall giveth and the refs shall taketh it away

Once he has possession and it crosses the plane is that not a td?

yes, but he did not maintain possession. Because he was on the way to the ground and the the ground hit the ball out, it was not maintained. Hence, incomplete. Personally I needed GB -5.5 so I lost regardless. Had I been on Dallas my reaction would be the same. Much unlike last weeks PI call.

 

[slapshot]

Once he has possession and it crosses the plane is that not a td?

he never has possession as he didn't complete the catch


just like Megatron when he set the ball down
