The play was a fade throw the ******* fade out of bounds or when no one came open throw it in the stands. But im sure the coaches told him TD or bust Ben.

How do you figure that? Wasnt his knee down before he crossed? You guys cant have it both ways...If he knee was down first in HS college or whatever the ball would have been dead before the goal line. If the ball was not over the goal line before the knee hits then he has to complete the catch. At least the nose of the ball hits the ground. Either way I do not think it was a catch by the rules. We did not lose the game on that play and at worst should have been in OT. The pats had 4 guys along the goaline plus a LB underneath. That pass should not have been thrown. It did look like PI, but was still a terrible choice.
Davis and Burns: Sophomore slump? Let's hope. Otherwise, we're looking at drafting DBs early again. Haden is Haden... we don't know entirely what we have in Sutton, but it'd be interesting to see if a Sutton/Haden tandem would work. And let me add that if the D coaches (I'm looking specifically at you, Carnell) aren't teaching fundamental or getting in the players faces when those fundamental are lacking, then they should also be on a very short leash.
Nobody ran a fade route.
no one did. Was a forced and very low percentage throw.
I don’t understand why you’re having such a hard time understanding this.... once a player makes a football move... i.e. reaching the ball across the goal line while clearly possessing it with two hands... the securing the catch aspect of the play is completed. That’s why the rule stipulates “make a football move”.... he clearly did that when he reached it across. It doesn’t matter one little bit if the ball touches the ground while making a football move , only while securing the catch.

If we clock it there with 13 seconds left at the 6 or whatever, everyone here is bitching that Tomlin or Ben are poor clock managers, we tried to win the damn game, their DB made a play. Should've never come to that we beat their cheating *****.

Des Bryant agrees with you. His wasn't a catch either.
I dont give a **** what they ran NOBODY WAS OPEN..THROW IT THE **** AWAY. NOTHING WRONG WITH TRYING TO SCORE THERE..WHATS WRONG IS A VETERAN QB NOT KNOWING TO CHUCK IT IN THE STANDS IF NOTHING IS THERE
So why didn’t the greatest coach in the whole wide world call for a low percentage play instead of a fade route? It’s a team game right? Once again Ben has to be smarter than Tomlin and Haley or it’s all his fault
Ben was going to spike it, but he was told not from the sidelines. per Ben
The DB made a good play, it happens for ***** sake

i'm not really mad at the INT, I'm pissed at the reversal of the TD.
Has to be smarter then haley or Tomlin..smh nobody open throw it away..simple and anyone saying anything different is full of ****. 14th ******* year and has to be told to throw it away if nothing is there in that situation.
Yeah, I remember a call earlier this year when we found out that TD rules for receivers are different than rules for runners.

Yeah, it really wasn't a terrible throw, but the timing of the entire play was off, apparently due to miscommunication between Ben and the sideline.
My bigger issue was with the second down play. That ball should have gone either in or out the back of the end zone.
You mean like the great Tom Brady, threw a pick to Williams.

sorry Haley with a 8 point lead allowed the pats back into the game, and the refs sealed it.
No way am I blaming Ben when that WR was gang raped.

I agree, Batch on the post game was saying that's a pretty common route there try to get your fastest guy drag across the middle and hope his speed gets him in

Let's assume the ruling on the catch was correct. Why was the rule changed to stipulate that the receiver must not only catch the ball with two feet, or other body parts in bounds, AND maintain possession until a part time official decides to blow his whistle?
Who thought that was a good idea? I don't understand football anymore. Maybe that's what the league wants.
