Moiraine Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 Carolina got screwed on that challenge but you gotta hold onto the ball CamBall moved, wasn't a catch.It's not relevant whether the ball moved. This wasn't an out of bounds play. It was in the middle of the field. The only thing that matters is whether the ball touches the field sometime before the completion of the play. It didn't, therefore it was a catch. The only reason it could have stood is they weren't certain whether it touched the ground or not. 1 Quote Link to comment
I AM FOOT FOOT Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 I knew a Coldplay ht show would be boring as hell and I don't even dislike them. Paul McCarney's sucked too. Got way better when Bruno and Beyonce showed up. I thought the entire thing was lame.alot of production . Beyoncé needs to hang it up.shes looking sloppy. 1 Quote Link to comment

BTW, if you're going to the ground, you have to maintain control. Whether you're in bounds or out of bounds has no bearing. Quote Link to comment

zoogs Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 What'd he do? I'm assuming it was much worse than glorifying alcohol and stumping the Budweiser brand. I'd be ticked if I were a dad with a 7-year old kid who idolized his favorite team's QB., watching that. The NFL has a lot of stupid rules, but prohibiting endorsement of alcohol products is not one of them. Not to get too serious for a moment; I still think Peyton's one of the best ever, but that lost some respect from me. Quote Link to comment

BTW, if you're going to the ground, you have to maintain control. Whether you're in bounds or out of bounds has no bearing. Maintaining control when you're catching the ball in the middle of the field means keeping the ball from touching the ground. That is all there is to it. Therefore it's important to distinguish between in bounds and out of bounds catches. If you're falling/running out of bounds and juggle it, you are not maintaining control. If you're juggling it and still in bounds and the ball never touches the ground, you are maintaining control. Rule wording: "If he loses control of the ball, and the ball touches the ground before he regains control, the pass is incomplete. If he regains control prior to the ball touching the ground, the pass is complete." If a player is laying on his back and the ball falls down to him and he catches it, it's still a catch, even though he didn't even touch (or "control") the ball before he was on the ground. If there's an example of any other play where the player caught it within bounds and it did not hit the ground and they say he didn't control it, please enlighten me. I remember the infamous Calvin Johnson TD but it's a different argument because he slammed the ball to the turf. Again, the reason this call stood is because they thought it touched the ground at some point - because that's the only way you can lose "control" while still in the field of play. (Unless of course you're not done completing the catch and decide to toss the ball to the referee or the sideline.) 1 Quote Link to comment
adc7236 Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 I use to look forward to the Super Bowl commercials as many were very funny.....not any more. I think they sucked overall this year with the Prius commercial being the best of the bunch. Quote Link to comment

Admittedly a Broncos fan but I said this before they announced the decision: If they had called it complete, they may have been able to overturn it. As they called it incomplete I don't think there was conclusive evidence that it didn't touch the ground/was controlled before it hit the ground. Because it definitely touched the ground.

He's 39 years old and after winning probably the most emotional game of his career, he simply said he was going to sit down and have a couple Bud Lights and think about if he wants to retire or come back. If you're pissed at that.....well......you have some amazingly high standards. 1 Quote Link to comment
