2014 NFL Season

[LL!]

Its even more ridiculous when you consider that Cobb catch that clearly hit the ground, yet was still ruled a completion.

THIS.

[Timmoru Suzuki]

What's that Dallas? A bullshit call gone against you? Gee, can't imagine how that feels.

You guys by the tone of his post I think he CAN imagine how it feels

Do we need to recount the massive amount of missed penalties on both sides last week?

There's a huge difference, the Lions still had ample time to win the game and failed. This call just ended the game, that shouldn't happen to any team.

"If a player goes to the ground in the act of catching a pass (with or without contact with 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."

The ball come loose, didn't it?

[Your Mom]

Cobb took his helmet off on the field!

[HC]

I might be biased, but you see Dez lose control of the ball on the replay.

Just happy with the win. Worried about Seattle next week.

[Dan]

Seahawks vs Packers is gonna be a great game.

No, I just enjoy my bitter irony

[Your Mom]

That was a catch. It didn't come out until after he slid a couple yards into the endzone

The ball clearly moved when it hit the ground, that is why it was called.

Upon hitting the ground, Dez had control of the ball. It came loose on the slide. Anybody can plainly see that.

[The Buscher]

Woooooo a Super Bowl where I don't hate both teams!

Good game though. Can't see Green Bay/Seattle being the rout that it was on opening night.

Any movement whatsoever if the ball hits the ground makes it not 'in control'. On the replay, the ball initially moves upon the immediate impact with the ground. If the ball had not moved at all - ie Dez had it in a vice like grip or some such - then it is fine.

The rule is a bit naff (ground can't cause a fumble... but can cause an incomplete catch etc) but it is the rule.

[Dan]

Lions apologising.

[Mick]

Now you ALL know the feeling.

Its like you're a pundit on SKY or something

[Maxx]

This fucking team finally starts defying expectation and stops making stupid mistakes to cost themselves games, and then we get fucked over by bullshit like this. It's always fucking something.

[Schlitzbrille]

Bull shit he didn't, he caught the ball, secured it, switched possession to his other hand and reached out for the goal line.

How else are we gonna get our Brady/Rogers Super Bowl wankfest?

GO SEAHAWKS AND EITHER INDY OR DENVER.

[GoGo Yubari]

Yay Packers! Looking forward to the game next week. If we lose, then I root for Green Bay as an excuse to spam MST3K jokes when they win.
