It's not against the Patriots.
 
My 5 Wide did its job.

Are you ******* high?

It's virtually impossible to make a catch for a TD. And you want to run a ******* 5 wide? The rules make it laughably difficult to register a TD through passing. Bryant's TD should have been overturned because he let the ball go while he was on the ground celebrating. He didn't complete the catch and hand the ball (while completely under his control) to the referee.

We CAN'T ******* pass for TDs. That's insane. Particularly when the referees are bound and determined to ensure that nobody beats the cheaters.

2 ******* penalties Spike. Talk about that ****.

Rogers being pile-driven into the turf while the ball is swatted. Talk about that.

You want to go 5 wide? There isn't even a legal ******* way to register a catch in the endzone. How the **** are you gonna use 5 receivers?
 
Article 3 posted earlier clearly states that James catch was a TD.

Rule 11 Section 2 also proves that was a catch and TD. Not sure how the refs got this wrong other then being paid off on this call and any other call in the past that was identical to this play.

i think it all started with some coach on the competition committee lost a game because his WR caught a ball with 2 feet down and he was hit almost immediately and it was called a fumble. So then they made the push that there has to be something else beyond just the 2 feet so that it's not a fumble if the hit come so quickly.

That's when we got the "football move". That was the start of it going downhill. Then there were complaints about what constitutes a football move. So they just kept defining it again and again, adding to it. Now we have this nonsense.

It's ******, the NFL guy that explains it on Twitter begins by saying Ben COMPLETES the pass, they don't even know what the **** they're looking at. And there's still no clear view to over rule it

Look, you need a degree in quantum physics to understand the insane catch/no-catch rule.

I'm much more pissed about the idiotic fake spike.

You get a gift with the great reception and run by Schuster. You take one more shot to win, but you gotta be careful.

So instead of getting the FG and moving onto overtime, you run a fake spike?

This was one from the Pigs Get Fat, Hogs Get Slaughtered Dept.

Shouldn't have ended like that.

I can't believe I just watched that game in my DVR and ended with such a blatant robbery. How the **** can we fans watch this crap , be forced to swallow it and just accept it? I mean ****! They just stole a huge game away from the Steelers.

And that holding on Villanueva? Bullshit I say, they just needed to call back that chain mover.

**** the refs, **** the league, **** the pats. I'm proud of the effort tonight, great game by the players and "in general" good play calling on both sides

They weren't going to win in OT.

The refs would have given the ball to the P*ts regardless of what the coin said and they would have called defensive PI all the way down the field for the cheaters. The moment they made that ridiculous overturn that game was over. The refs may as well just wound the clock and held on to the ball refusing to give it to Pouncey.
 
Does anyone see anything in the rule about crossing the plane after the catch was already made and diving into the endzone? I do not see it. Only article 3, item 1 that is irrelevant because by the Rule of TD the TD was already scored.
Item 1 states catches made in the endzone, not a runner/receiver diving for a TD that already established a catch.

We where robbed.
 
Everyone outside of the NFL and Boston knows we were robbed.

I'm getting my phone blowed up.
 
NFL’s officiating supervisor explains overturning Steelers’ touchdown

It’s a rule Cowboys fans know too well, having had a similar catch by Dez Bryant overturned by replay in the 2014 playoffs against the Packers. Lions fans can explain it too, having had a game-winning catch by Calvin Johnson reversed on replay in a game against the Bears in 2010.

“Roethlisberger completes a pass to James, and James is going to the ground as he reaches the goal line,” Riveron said.

“That’s the key here. He is going to the ground.

By rule, to complete the process of the catch, he must survive the ground.

By that, we mean he must maintain control of the football. . He does put the ball over the goal line extended. Once he gets there, he loses control of the football, and then the ball hits the ground. . . .

So therefore, two things occur: He loses control of the football, and the ball touches the ground prior to him regaining control. Therefore, the ruling on the field of a touchdown was changed to an incomplete pass.”

The NFL has officially jumped the shark. That corrupt officiating should be investigated and punished. They won't but it's the only way to clean up their mess. Wallow in your graft and deception NFL. I'm sure you're fooling some of the lemmings anyway.
 
He did NOT lose control of the ball before he or IT hit the ground. Watch the ******* play. He has control of the ball and it doesn't move until the ball hits the ground. Then the ball does move slightly but he retains possession. At the worst it could have been called a fumble in the end-zone which he recovered.
 
Ok. That is wrong. TD rule overrides that as the TD was scored before control of football come into question.

He made the catch with both feet down, when he turned and stretched for the goal line he technically became a runner so even if the ball did hit the ground it should really have been a fumble recovered by the receiver and not an incompleted pass, or simply ruled a TD since he controlled the ball after he had become a runner when he stretched and crossed the goal line.
 
The player already secured the catch and becomes a runner. He already demonstrated he was a runner which makes Spikes/profootballtalk point absolutely meaningless.

And other incorrect calls against other teams on this identical play are just that. Incorrect calls by rule.

At this point it really doesn't ******* matter one bit. We ******* lost and need to win 2 more and hope the cheats **** up again. Lets get it done, enough excuses.
 
He already met the requirements of a catch before going to the ground. It is that simple.

I am done with this incorrect bullshit call.
 
Yes. We get it Spike. Never throw again.

Cut all the receivers. Just run. We get it. Nobody can catch the ******* ball and break the plane. you must RUN into the endzone. We ******* get it.
