2nd f***ing time the GOD DAMNED f***ING CHEATERS get a blatant wrong call in their favor this season. I won't argue that the rule is stupid and needs to be tossed as soon as possible, but it *was* called correctly by the letter. Hate it all you want, but this wasn't some grand conspiracy

I have little love for the Patriots and I was rooting for the Steelers, but that wasn't a catch. I don't like the rule and how running plays and passing plays crossing the plane have entirely different circumstances for what counts as a valid score. But to me it looked like he never secured possession going to the ground.
And really, they should've gone for the FG or not pull a Seahawks SB49 afterwards. That was just dumb.

Rothlisberger tried throwing his coaches under the bus saying he didn't wanna snap the ball. Even if that *is* true, you throw it away. You don't throw it into borderline triple coverage. The bottom line is that the Steelers had a couple of chances to get in the end zone after the reversal, and instead, they took a giant dump in their pants

Yeah, that was planned but the Patriots weren't stupid to fall for it. Even my dad knew he wasn't spiking it and I think the announcers knew as well.

But to me it looked like he never secured possession going to the ground. And really, they should've gone for the FG or not pull a Seahawks SB49 afterwards. That was just dumb. Calvin Johnson didn't catch the ball. Dez Bryant didn't catch the ball. Jesse James didn't catch the ball. The rule isn't that complicated. Don't let the ball make contact with the field. The only time the ball should touch the dirt and still be considered a catch is when a player is spiking it after a touchdown. James, like Dez Bryant in the 2014 Divisional Round, made the play more complicated by extending for the goal line when he absolutely didn't have to. If James just wraps it up, he probably rolls into the end zone for a touchdown. If he gets touched before he crosses the plane, then it's second and goal from the one-inch-line with about 25 seconds to go. It was the same thing with Dez Bryant against Green Bay. There was no need to lunge for the end zone, it wasn't a goal-to-go situation. If Bryant simply caught the ball, it would be 1st and goal from the Packers' two-yard-line with 4:30 remaining.

The only thing that bothers me about this catch rule is it send inconsistent with the other scoring rules. Any other time, a person has the ball and breaks the plane it is a score, no matter what happens after. That has been drilled into is for years but now because the catch rule is shit, it turns from what is a catch to much more.
I won't say the rule was incorrectly applied because it wasn't, just they need to look into a more concrete rule that up end other ones.

This has been such a hard to enjoy at times up and down NFL season.
For every positive, there are a lot of negatives that are just hard to ignore
Injuries, shaky quality, diluted games at times, the same old tiresome perfectly perfect Patriots.
For every epic game, there are too many meh games.
