Did Super Bowl LII Further Confuse What a Catch is?

[Steeler Nation]

In this past season, we have watched a lot of great plays of all variations and learned a lot about players and teams. One thing we still can’t answer…what is a catch? Might seem like a simple question, but unfortunately in today’s game, it is anything but simple. That is a very loaded question nowadays. […]

The guy in NY changed the criteria of a reviewing a catch after all the criticism since the Steelers-Pats game. Collinsworth was right, "I give up".

The "Guy in New York" apparently wasn't IN New York. Al "I'll suck Bob for a dollar" Riveron was at the game personally and thus was unable to suck Bob for a dollar when Bob needed suckin' most.

In short, a rational human being was manning replay.

OL Al didn't phone in the calls in the SB ?

Nope. The replay duties were in other folks hands. And we see how THAT went for Tom et. al.

That isn't true. Riveron was at the SB making the calls.

Leave it to the N.F.L. to utterly **** **** up. "Hey, let's completely change our processes for this ONE game!"

I truly believe this will be simplified this off-season.
It damn well better be!

It will until they play us then it will change in the other team favor like always

I think these problems go a long ways back. Megatron catch Dez Bryant. But it should be noted that some of this goes back to catch and fumble vs. Incomplete. I remember a couple seasons were they sat looking at replay us that a catch fumble or incpmplete. Two steps, football move. So they just cut that black and white and made it very hard to call something a catch.
