He did initially...but once he went to the ground the ground caused the ball to move... making it incomplete by NFL rules.

Rule? Nope. Obvious answer
Stupid rule? Yep. Obvious answer

I knew it wasn’t a catch immediately

Rule is still dumb

88horsepower · 12-17-2017, 07:56 PM

The rule is ridiculous, but it was the right call considering what the rule is.

blackbears86 · 12-17-2017, 07:57 PM

Steelers still had a chance to tie the game and force OT with a field goal attempt.

Terrible decision to throw for the TD.

RogerGodahell · 12-17-2017, 07:58 PM

No catch...watch the ball and his left hand

nera20 · 12-17-2017, 07:58 PM

what about the guys that jump in the end zone and hit the orange marker and the ball falls out i always thought the ball just needed to cross the line i thought it was a touchdown

GOWIFB · 12-17-2017, 07:58 PM

Initially he caught the ball, but then that pesky thing known as a rule reared its ugly head. Rule says its not a catch, so its not a catch, period.

Runner vs receiver, different rule

Siberian13 · 12-17-2017, 08:01 PM

Per the rules, he didn’t catch anything. And the panthers player scored a touchdown. Don’t be salty like the packers fan.

brianshaft · 12-17-2017, 08:02 PM

Ball hit the ground and rotated 180 degrees. How could anyone think that’s a catch?

Boo · 12-17-2017, 08:02 PM

OP is at that point when you are the only one that thinks the opposite of everyone else...

RogerGodahell · 12-17-2017, 08:03 PM

Tony Romo....ohhhh!

Steelers fans are a rare breed like that

Cyphon25 · 12-17-2017, 08:04 PM

I am a Steelers fan so call me bias if you want but I would say this for any team and truth is I don't even blame the game on that call. I blame it more on Sean Davis. With that being said, lets talk about why this should be a catch even with the rule.

Jesse James catches the ball and pulls it into his chest (secured) as his knee goes down. Realizing he wasn't in he then reaches for the goal line (a football move) to score. So he was already 'down' and had completed the catch and then proceeds to reach in to score.

So I am confused on what part of the rule would deem that not a catch? I understand the controlling it through the ground part but he demonstrated that. He pulled it in to his chest as his knee hit and then reached out to score.

KhalDrogo · 12-17-2017, 08:04 PM

Waaaaaah. Steelers and Seahwaks. The two franchises with the most insufferable fanbases.

Quoted for truth.

It's this part. I'm not defending the rule because I don't care for it, but getting a knee or two feet down is not the end of the process. If he goes to the ground, he has to 'survive' the ground, and he didn't. Again, most people would probably be fine if the rule went away, but it was called correctly based on the current rule.

Wolves4Life · 12-17-2017, 08:08 PM

Ball CLEARLY hit the ground in the endzone. James' left hand even ended up ontop of the ball resulting in no TD.

yankeesfan24 · 12-17-2017, 08:10 PM

Did Dez catch it?

Actually shovel pass and dive with ball coming loose after crossing the goal line is a TD which is odd.

Ah Well not losing sleep. Playoffs are a whole diff game. Saw a ton of improvement today.

Astros19 · 12-17-2017, 08:12 PM

It's one of the worst rules in football, but let's be honest it effects every team the exact same way.
Real world = TD
NFL rules = incomplete

End of story.

Word... except... are there any Seahawks fans anymore? I feel like they’re “here for the party” like 90% of Blackhawks fans.
