I've given up trying to make sense of it. That's a TD with total control of the ball and both feet in.....but it's against NE so of course the officials arms won't be raised until the WR escapes the mugging in the end zone with the ball.

Kinda weird that it wasn't reviewed either. It was under 2 minutes, so everything that's "questionable" has to immediately go to a booth review. It's as if it was the one play all year that was so incredibly obvious, that it didn't have to be looked at again.
Yeah...... or not.
Yeah...... or not.
It's been a decade of this with NE. Have to wonder when will it stop?

No.
Like the Calvin Johnson TD, he's gotta finish the process. He had it, and he dropped it. The ball was punched out as the second foot was coming down, if he had another step then yes, I'd say a TD.

Maybe it was a catch, but why wasn't it reviewed? It's not like anything there was obvious. Evans had it, it was punched out ...bluecoconuts said:
Again, the real question is would this call have been made against NE?
In Super Bowl 12 ('77), Cowboys against the Broncos, Golden Richards was credited with a TD catch in which he rolled on the ground and came up without the ball. It's one of those highlight reel plays I've seen a dozen times. The enduring image is of him standing over the ball he left on the ground. Long before review ever came up, or this narrow interpretation of the rule, but it still shows how wrong-headed the current rule is.
As soon as he caught that ball it should have been a TD. The defender knocking it out of his hands after is almost like a do-over. "Yeah. I meant to knock it out his hands all along."

Typical shit. Someone with balls needs to stand up to this shit and get it to stop. These douche bags are constantly getting preferential treatment. You touch Tom Brady you get a flag while on the next series, your QB gets hammered with a helmet to helmet long after the play and no call. The fucking ground helps you catch a ball in the endzone and you get the TD. Your score keeper "accidentally" puts up the wrong down and... oops. You get caught video taping your opponents and you get a slap on the wrist.
That team and the dickheads making sure they get away with it make me sick.

Is there any wonder the Ravens' STs were rushed getting the FG set up? In addition to the clock snafu, they expected a review of the previous play.interference said:
