CHALLENGE IT!!

They can, but he still needs to control it all the way through.

[Hall7810]

Carey won't overturn that.

[Magnetic Curses]

somehow i think this is going to be just like the calvin johnson catch last week. for no explicable reason, they're going to rule it an incompletion.

[Guest]

What's the rule on this? He caught it with possession, but I think the rule is you have to maintain possession through the fall.

 

Which he did.

The rule is fairly simple, iirc: Possession must be maintained *through* hitting the ground.

Which he did.

 

Then when did it pop loose?

[cubswin2009]

How is that not a catch?

[Outshined_One]

What the hell is Collinsworth going on about? That's a freaking catch.

if the ground causes him to drop it, it's no catch. if he gets tackled and falls to the ground and is then stripped, it's a catch.

[Soul]

I don't think they'll rule it a catch, though I think it should be.

When his elbow hit the ground.

[17 Seconds]

no matter what happens, that call was stupid as hell (fake punt)

[cubswin2009]

That's a catch

[Hairyducked Idiot]

I think no catch under the rule as written. The rule as written is stupid, though.

[CDBears1259]

I'm wondering the same thing. He's an idiot. Seems like he's contradicting himself.

When his elbow hit the ground.

 

That's part of the fall.

[wekse]

what a [expletive] play...a fake punt, really? get outta here.

[Guest]

Bull.

[Outshined_One]

Crap.

[cubswin2009]

bulls***

[CDBears1259]

WHAT A LOAD OF BS!

[Careless]

saying that the receiver did not have control when he came to the ground was the lie, but it sounds like the decision was correct based on the rule as explained

[Derwood]

This Ref is the biggest cuckold i've ever seen

[Magnetic Curses]

and that is exactly what bear/cub luck is all about.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Right call, dumb rule.

 

Defense needs to step up or shut up.
