So, PI is now reviewable

[kurtfaulk]

It's absurd to suggest that a player going to make a two handed grab that has one arm pulled down would make that catch rather easily.

His arm was held before it came up. He still tried to catch it with both hands even though he felt his arm being held. Go for the one arm grab.

It's crazy to think they don't practice those type of catches. So many wrs can do it. You can't rely on the ref to throw a flag, especially against the cheats.

Name them.

And I doubt if WR's are practicing having an arm pulled down while trying to catch the ball.

Too many to name and they made those catches because their other arm was being held.

Antonio Brown, OBJ, Julio Jones....that’s all I got

They could just suck it up and take their losses like men....

OK name some.

With their arm being grabbed and pulled the way Cooks was?

We can hope that if a PI non-call is challenged that the entire play is reviewed for any penalties that may have occurred prior to the potential PI. If it is, then I'm not against it. Each team is limited to 3 challenges a game so it can't slow the game down too much more than it already is. I can see challenges for missed OPI as well on large chunk pass plays. As long as they're fair about calling penalties for missed OPI and DPI, then it might be a good thing.

While that sounds absolutely fair that they review and make sure no infractions were made. . . That is 22 players, with changing outcomes throughout the play.

The more commercial time they find to shove down my throat the less and less I will watch.

Just Google one handed catches. I'm sure you will find some there.

Yes, it was not impossible for Cooks to come down with that ball, even with the penalty. It would have been a great catch, and given the context would have been brought up in the greatest plays in Rams' history thread. Nobody with one arm being held and being brought down would have certainly caught that pass. Listing as players who would possibly have caught that as Brown, OBJ and Jones is to compliment Cooks, since those are the three best receivers playing today - and nobody can honestly say they would always come down with the ball in that situation.

How many great catches have we seen that have won teams the superbowl over the years? We will not list cooks attempt with those.

Yes, the great catches against the odds get remembered. The others are forgotten. Nobody is saying that a picture of Cooks being fouled and not making the catch should be on the wall of Canton. However, you seem to be implying that it was a catch that would have been easy to make. I suggest you rewatch the play, and notice his arm being pulled as he was going down. All of us would have liked for him to make the catch - that is far different than pretending it was something that was easy to make. All receivers in identical circumstances would have not held on the majority of the time.

OK name three.

If you can't remember them that's your problem. If you want to be paid $16m per year you should come down with the hard catches. He had two chances to catch a td in the superbowl and he couldn't come down with one of them.

You’re the one who claims others have made these so called great one handed catches while being interfered with in big games. To make such claims the burden of proof is on you, not upon those whom you say needs to prove you wrong. You said it, now prove it. If you can’t back it up, quit making such claims.

 

[Akrasian]

Those are all great catches. All with two hands.

Oh I wasn't aware it had to be one handed catches. Tough crowd.

They were great catches, and I always appreciate video of great plays. But the argument was whether one handed great catches were common, since the Cooks play in contention had one arm held by a defender.
