![]() Bears Lions game clearly a touchdown by Detroit. Two feet down in the end zone, falls on his ass in the end zone and they call it incomplete? Total blown call by a ref who should be fired immediately!!!
Possibly a call worse than the Hockuli Charger Broncos call........ |
#2

![]() Way worse. Go down to the sports threads for the comments of a few folks.

![]() It's not the ref. It's the dumbass "process of the reception" rule. It's a serious problem in the rulebook and that was a travesty today.

![]() I say it again - the ball only ends up on the ground because Johnson got up to celebrate. I would think that with every catch Calvin makes the remainder of this season, he possesses the ball long enough to hand it to the referee.

![]() I missed the play at the time, only heard about it on the radio. I heared it was called a TD on the field and overturned upstairs, right? I have just seen it for the first time, and the call STUNK! The Rule STINKS! It was a DISGRACE to the game, the Bears were so horrible they didn't deserve this win, and Detroit was ROBBED!

![]() The part I don't get about this a day later is what constitutes a "second motion." Why is spiking the ball considered a second motion, but placing the ball on the ground to celebrate doesn't? I just don't get it.

![]() And I keep going back to the Lance Moore 2-point conversion from last year's Super Bowl. That was a TD - where the receiver literally had possession for .1 of a second - but this isn't?

![]() Quote:
But what I'm thinking is that Lance Moore caught the ball before the goaline. Then he reached over (made a slight move) and broke the plain of the goaline, such as when a RB carries the ball and breaks the plain. If a RB breaks the plain and fumbles it's still a TD, just like in the case of Moore. The play is over and it's a TD. Now there is the ridiculous ruling on the reception that cost the Lions the game yesterday, where you must have possesion all the way through the play/action. I though he established possesion and it was just a terrible interpertion of the rule by the zebras. That's my guess.

![]() Right, the Moore play was clearly a different situation - the possessing the ball before breaking the plane as opposed to catching the ball in the end zone. I get that they're different rules, but Moore literally possessed the ball with two feet on the ground for a fraction of a second, and that was (correctly) called a 2-point conversion. Meanwhile, Calvin Johnson possesses the ball for almost two full seconds, comes down and places the ball on the ground to celebrate, and it's not a touchdown?
THe other thing is that if you read this rule in its entirely, one could easily argue that Johnson made the catch.

![]() The tuck rule is just dumb. I still don't know why more guys don't just pump fake and then run around without touching the ball with their other hand. It's impossible to fumble in that situation.

![]() The only good part is that the NFL will probably make some sort of rule change. The bad part is that it takes a team to get screwed out of a game because of it.
Unfortunately for the Raiders it might have cost them a trip to the Super Bowl.
