OT: NFL Open Thread

Both feet and his motherfucking knee was down.  What more should you need?

with the NFL this season, i cant support bullshit like that, i hope they fucking lock out.

Might as well burn the whole fucking rulebook if there really is a rule about "process of the catch" and that's how you're supposed to apply it.  What the fuck is the point of having things like "end zones" and "possession" if you can just invent new fucking ways to define a catch?

I swear if I were Schwartz I'd have just pulled my team off the field after fourth down.

i dont care what the rule is, he had both feet in bounce, landed, then put the ball on the ground.  Fuck the NFL, GO BLUE

Bears fan here. That was total bullshit. That was an obvious catch. The Bears didn't deserve to win that garbage. What a terrible team. 

Even Jim Joyce thought that was a crap call. 

if he loses it when he first hits the ground.  But calling it incomplete when he maintains possession while getting two feet, a knee, his butt and his left hand down in bounds and he loses his grip on the ball only when he puts it on the ground?  That's completely nonsensical.  By that standard, it should be incomplete if any part of the receiver's body ends up out of bounds during the apparently very lengthy "process" of the catch.

I'm pretty sure the NFL rules committee is comprised of four monkeys, two mannequins and a bag of potato chips.

In Professional Football, if you catch it, get 2 feet down, land on you ass with the ball, roll over, get on two knees, put you hand down with the ball, then drop it to celebrate a TD, it's not a Touchdown. In college, if you drop the ball at the one yard line to celebrate. It's a Touchdown. Even if that's how the rule works, they should have overturned it for stupidity. The ground can cause an incompletion, yes. But you shouldn't have to count "1 Mississippi.." before you toss it to a ref.
