turn on NBC I'm sure they will go indepth

basically Pitt guy caught ball on 1, down on his knees but not touched. He pivots on his knees and lunges over the goal line for a TD to win game. Ball hits ground IN THE ENDZONE.
The refs review and call it incomplete.
Pitt throws an INT on the next play to lose game.

Pitt player starts to pull the ball into his chest, then realized he needs to extend it to reach the endzone. To say he doesn't have control/possession is simply wrong!

before you read anything about it, find a clip of the overturned touchdown by Pittsburgh at the end of the game. Then listen to some of the Pat fans try to explain it.

Receiver possession is different in the NFL
Dec 17, 2017, 8:09 PM
|
|
He either needed to catch the ball and make a "football move" with the ball under his control or catch it and control it all the way to the ground. The football move means landing on his feet and taking two or three steps. He caught the ball while going to the ground, reached out but lost control when it hit the ground. He never had possession, so it wasn't a case of the ground causing a fumble.
The bigger problem is they gotta find somebody who can cover Gronk before the playoffs, because this was a preview of the AFC championship, but now it will be in Boston unless Steelers finish a game ahead of Pats.

Actually it will. Used to watch for years but didnt even make it through last years Super Bowl. Maybe thats because the only football team I pull for is one where I have a real connection to, 2 degrees.

So the league is a disgrace and you’re done with it because the refs made a bad call? Which happens multiple times every time a game is played....
I’m actually relieved though. I thought someone new had done took a knee....

New England more than likely won the super bowl today. Steelers will not beat them in Foxboro.

I hate NE as much as anyone, but it was the right call based on the current rule. If you want to argue whether the rule makes sense I might agree with you...but the crew made the right call today.

Lol. This one call is your hill to die on?

Not this one call. Like I said, I have watched very little over the last year. This has only re-enforced why I've stopped caring. Just tired of the kneeling, domestic abuse, drug use etc. I'll stick with college ball. Thats just me, u do what u want.

So do you think the NFL players who came from college football only started doing drugs, domestic violence, and having the views that lead to them "kneeling" once they make the NFL? We see players busted for drugs all the time in college football, and see crimes against women by college players(Mixon and Winston come to mind) often as well. And of course the college game has its own share of bad calls.
If you don't like the pro game as much as the college game that's one thing, but don't try and act like it's out of some moral outrage.

It was the right call

Here's how it appears in the NFL rulebook:
"A player who goes to the ground in the process of attempting to secure possession of a loose ball (with or without contact by an opponent) must maintain control of the ball until after his initial contact with 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, there is no possession.

Was the initial contact not his knee?
Dec 18, 2017, 6:55 AM
|
|
Then, after showing clearly maintained possession through the initial contact with the ground, he reached across the goal line and there on his second contact with the ground, he dropped the ball.
