The Calvin Johnson Incompletion

Drew Stanton = New Mike McMahon
4.8 speed, reckless abandon.

Glad the Lions stole Stanton in the 2nd round in 07. Nowadays in the NFL you have to a QB who can run, throw, and throw while running. Its the next evolution of football.

Even by the interpretation of the horrendous rule, the more I watch it, the more it looks like a catch anyway.

How long do you need to hold onto the ball? Do you need to wrap it in silk and carry it to the sideline? Take it on the plane home with you?

Two feet down, fell on his ass, rolled over, had coffee, ate dinner, fucked his baby mama, then let go of the ball.

All that matters is that.

Garbo.

Sometimes, we just need common sense. He made the catch.

What about when they spike the ball? How far do you take it? He had the ball in his hands for like 4 seconds.

What about Bert Emmanual rule? So now, the ball can hit the ground and be a catch, but if you let the ball go after you clearly make a catch, it doesnt count? How is that fair or consistant?

Rule needs to be tweaked. Needs to be a judgement call. Any reasonable person thought that was a catch. Let players decide games, not silly rule interpretation loopholes.

This.

They need to add an addendum to all NFL rules.

"Yeah theses are the rules, but if logically something makes sense, then it fucking overrides this shit."

Tuck rule, this shit, whatever.

Just fucking get it right, isn't that point of adding things like replay challenges? To get it right? Clearly the issue is defining how to decide what's right.

Doesn't really apply to this rule though as there was no "interpretation" to really be had. It was called correctly according to the letter of the rule. It was pretty cut and dried.

[Buzzman]

Thats the thing that annoys me most was if this happen at say the 25 yard line, they would rule that a fumble, but because ti was in the endzone it was an incompletion.

The rules are wrong.

You don't know that..and according to the rule...it wouldn't be.

The rules are wrong.

Ok. Glad you feel that way I guess?

But the refs didn't have to "interpret" anything. It was a cut and dry call. That was my point.

Refs didn't do anything wrong, never said they did.

Rule is still wrong. What happened there should count as a TD.

Wouldnt have even been a fumble, he'd have been ruled down by contact.

Rule is severly flawed.

you see that happen all the time and its ruled a fumble.

[killgod]

You guess?

Either you agree or you don't, stop letting NFL rules dictate your brain and decide what the fuck you think it was.

Such as?
