The End Zone Catch

Post by ThatGuy »

The NFL needs to fix this BS rule of what they see as a catch in the end zone. If they have possession with 2 feet in bounds. It's a catch and a TD. If the ball wobbles out at the end or when they're out of bounds from hitting the ground, so be it. If a runner crosses the plain of the goal line, it's an instant TD. as it should. They need to get this figured out.

James made the catch, the ground can't cause a fumble. He crossed the goal line before the ball moved.

everybody and his or her mom who watches football knows that was a catch. tony romo and jim nantz had no idea that the play could be overturned for the longest time. i knew that that was what they were looking at and that it could. personally i didn't even think they had enough evidence that the ball hit the ground even under this silly rule. but they did.

i hope people heard tony dungy on the subject after. he said that that is a catch wherever they play football but in the nfl. it's past ridiculous. that guy made a football move to get that ball over the goal line-you'd have to be an idiot not to understand that.

There has to be a distinction between the forward pass and the handoff, because of the forward pass to James then an entirely different set of rules apply. I believe the NFL called it right, but the rule could theoretically be changed, not sure how I would just yet.
