coastiemike Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 How can Freeman's catch and crossing the goal line be ruled an incomplete pass a few weeks ago, and then the same exact play for Jacksonville just now is ruled a TD? The NFL needs to get their **** together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Door Gunner Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 I saw that. Was wondering if it would get a thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MACK4ttACK Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 I wish I could see the jaguar play, can you post a gif?Freeman's "not a td" was more of "not a catch" and if you don't catch it, it's not a TD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atlfanstckndenver Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 There has been numerous examples that contradict eachother when it comes to this rule. I think it's only a matter of time before it is somehow adjusted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm watching it through Xbox One. But, he literally crossed the goal line, fell down, and the ball came out, and then another Jag jumped on the ball for a TD. He barely took a second step.

Falcanuck Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 The Golden Tate "TD" was the most ridiculous thing I've ever seen. Freeman controlled the ball longer, made a football move and covered more ground than Golden. I have no idea what the refs are doing.

I agree, that Golden Tate play was ridiculous and I couldn't believe it when they ruled it a touchdown. I'm surprised it wasn't talked about more.

Falconsfan567 Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 NFL has no flipping clue what the heIl a catch is anymore. Calvin Johnson against the Bears years ago. Dez Bryant against the Packers last year. Devonta Freeman this year. Golden Tate last week. That play today. What in the heIl is a catch and what isn't? It's a coin flip.

HeIl I still remember the Bert Emanuel play when he was playing for the Bucs against the Rams in the playoffs in 1999. Was that a catch? Who in the heIl knows?

brewman Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 Exactly. HeIl I still remember the Bert Emanuel play when he was playing for the Bucs against the Rams in the playoffs in 1999. Was that a catch? Who in the heIl knows?The Bert Emanuel play is what led to this FUBAR'd "what is a catch" situation. I think the play was actually ruled incomplete because the ball touched the ground, and led to the rule allowing a ball to touch the ground on a catch as long as the receiver had firm control of the ball and did not use the ground to aid the catch (trap).That play started the whole "control the ball to the ground" garbage.

Guest Dirty Bird Nation ® Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 Or maybe you can realize these refs are not machines? They're going to be influenced by the players and coaches during the game. They're going to be influenced by the tempo and what they've seen in past games and in training. They're going to make mistakes. It is what it is. Move on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
