NFL (2017 Season)

Whats the original sin for this nonsense? Got a feeling it started with something like the Brady Rule

I disagree with Pereira. Caught football. Made a "football move." Knee down. Stretch for goal line. Now it's incomplete?

i feel like the Calvin Johnson play was the one that started it all

Calvin Johnson, 2010.

To be sure, its a meteor game.
The ending was satisfying from a lol standpoint even with the officials making sure NE won.

If this was a college game he would have been down and the ball would have been on the 1 yard line. Common sense tells you he caught the ball but when his elbow hit the ball moved. But again this is the NFL and common sense does not apply. Going back to the ridiculous "tuck rule" NE has gotten more BS calls go their way than anybody. ......

At least their consistent.

If Calvin's wasn't a catch, Dez wasn't a catch, this shouldn't have been a catch either.

Be pissed at the rule, not the refs

Thanks! I seem to recall this existed before Dez Bryant incident but couldn't remember any. That just got most attention because playoffs.

Which is not even to mention the "call on the field" to overturn by replay!

Is it, though? Why isn’t it dead once he crosses the goal line? He had clear possession and made a football move. And if that’s not a catch, why is the one the next play a catch when the player didn’t get out of bounds? The ball came out after he hit the ground. What’s the difference?

Pittsburgh got fucked....and as usual it’s the Patriots who benefit.

Because you don't know the rule. When a receiver is going to go the ground he must maintain possession throughout the process, end zone or not. I don't like it either, but that's the rule.

As for Pittsburgh getting fucked, boo hoo hoo. The poor things have never benefitted from a call, ever. I'll shed a few tears for them.

Hyde, Zeke & Rod Smith was a pretty talented RB room

 

[kujirakira]

Lynch and Crabtree on same team...
Lynch gets 2yds leads with his helmet straight into defender's head ... talks trash ... Crabtree catches 3rd and 8 pass for 7yds

Is it me or does it look like the lights in Oakland are brighter than a million Suns?

 

[kujirakira]

These refs are going to need to be airlifted out of there before this is over

 

[buckeyesin07]

Against anybody else, I'd laugh at Tomlin and Roethlisberger taking one on the chin, but JFC I hate the Pats. From sanctimonious Bob Kraft to Tom "tough guy" Brady, they're the one team in the League that gets more calls than the Steelers. F them.

...and guess who benefited from that ridiculousness?
