... are you kidding me?

REALLY? God damn it just make up the rules as you go, NFL.
Fingertip catches don't count as catches now? Since Tyree never pulled it into the breadbasket should it have been ruled incomplete?
Tyree had that secured on his helmet. The ball appeared to be moving in his fingertips.

Like FutureVoid said, I'm guessing not enough evidence to overturn.
 
I think the only reason that was ruled a touchdown is because Jennings never went to the ground.

I fucking hate this league so much.

Actually that slo-mo replay showed the ball was not moving in his fingers for at least 3 steps. Who know, I'd be furious if I were a Giants fan.
 
The left hand looked like it had the ball for a few steps at the end there...

A catch?

You could see on that last replay that the left hand clearly did NOT have the ball for the whole time. It did control it for about one step and then was promptly knocked out again by the defender.

No idea how they could call that a touchdown, but I'm not surprised they did.

Last couple steps it looked like he had the tip of the ball grasped in his left hand. Is that enough for a catch? I don't know, and the ref might not either based on him saying "the call stands".
 
What the fuck, that toy is a total Dinoriders rip off!
 
Please all game long JPP, Canty, and Tuck is being held, the Giants have to beat the Packers, the Refs, and the NFL who want you to go 19-0....

Really? Giants-GAF is better than this. Every team has to play against the refs and gets the benefit of calls at times.

You try to judge the outcome of a play based on the team that makes it.

Just watch the damn thing. The ball doesn't move at all when on his finger-tips until he gets hit by the defender, after like 3-4 steps no less. Now, I'm not saying its an easy judge, because the rules are weird now, but to say he didn't have control is just a complete lie.

I think we can safely blame the rules for it.

It's because the ball stopped moving in his hand. It doesn't matter how many hands you have on it.
 
Tramon isn't really a pro bowl corner this year.

I'm also pretty sure my PS3 Sunday Ticket is about 2 minutes behind the broadcast...

If the ball moves slightly with the new rules, it's not secured possession. Bottom line. I thought I saw the ball move in his fingers before it was knocked out.
