Right foot stepped out of bounds before the ball was out. Doesn't that mean the play is dead?

Not sure I'm understanding the rule here.

 

[Drakeon]

That Calvin Johnson ruling ruined football

Why does the NFL think it's necessary to overthink what a catch is?

 

[simples]

if they give that a catch

give stafford his TD back and his Super Bowl that year

 

[Tucah]

Rooting for SD but reviewing this is bullshit, they already ran another play.

Fuck Triplette.

 

[Coldnoodle]

FUCK YOU TRIPLETTE

EDIT: THANK YOU BASED TRIPLETTE

 

[darkside31337]

Honestly no catch is great for the Bengals here.

 

[Draconian]

How is this even reviewable? They spiked the ball afterwards. The consistency of the officiating in this league is so terribad it's mind blowing.

 

[demosthenes]

In what fucking world is this not a catch. Also since when is going out of bounds backwards not stop the clock?

 

[Elfforkusu]

What down was it?

e: oi...c....

 

[Bread]

so are they saying that they decided to review the play a millisecond before the spike happened? pretty dumb.

 

[JABEE]

Worst ref

 

[jWILL253]

Phil Simms, what the fuck are you talking about? And how are you not even mentioning the fact that the play has already been ran?

 

[coy]

They should've let the replay run and show that they already spiked it. Bengals were all celebrating as they got it off in time.

 

[Cloudy]

BULLSHIT

 

[doctordoak]

Lions win!

 

[Angry Grimace]

That's what I thought. You can't review that catch anymore

Its the refs challenge.

 

[Godslay]

Good call.

 

[Ricker]

He made 3 steps with the ball in bound...

 

[Hasphat'sAnts]

Horse shit.

 

[Edgeward]

HALLELUJAH!

 

[kingslunk]

Good call.

Agreed.

 

[Nori Chan]

I rather have a catch then let dalton have 2 more shots at the end zone.

 

[ConsumerSquare]

LOL at this announcer trying to make some sense of all this bullshit.

 

[FrenchMovieTheme]

wait.... what? so they review the play even though they shouldn't be able to, but then they let the spike play stand still?

 

[Dion Blaster]

Hey man, at least he didn't fumble it.

I would say don't remind me, but I will never forget.

 

[Plinko]

How is this even reviewable? They spiked the ball afterwards. The consistency of the officiating in this league is so terribad it's mind blowing.

Agreed. Ridiculous that they can even review this. The ball was already spiked.

You've got to be kidding me. CJ got screwed.

 

[Eleuin]

bang bang

 

[brentech]

so he can be ruled 'lost forward motion', but then the fall down still counts? shit is so messed up.

now they messed up the FG attempt for them as well

nvm. that's what the ruling ended up being

 

[DietRob]

Ok so if there was forward progress wouldn't the clock of stopped then?

 

[simples]

nfl cunts just make up rules as they go now

 

[Bread]

i guess that's good it wasn't reversed, still hate that it would have been incomplete had he not gone backwards though.

 

[JABEE]

:jnc

Triplette

 

[Alligatorjandro]

He didn't maintain possession

 

[rando14]

wait.... what? so they review the play even though they shouldn't be able to, but then they let the spike play stand still?

this whole situation is a cluster fuck

 

[Balphon]

wait.... what? so they review the play even though they shouldn't be able to, but then they let the spike play stand still?

It didn't stand. They ran the clock on the whistle.

 

[Draconian]

Btw, WHY IS TRIPLETTE CALLING PLAYOFF GAMES? He's been tremendous garbage all year with no freaking recourse whatsoever. How many calls does this guy have to blow to not get rewarded with playoff games? This league is so stupid sometimes.

 

[Spinluck]

Haha that's why I was asking.

I dunno what I'll do if we have to play against Peyton again

i think im gonna puss out and watch the game drunk.

that way i probably won't feel anything.

thank goodness that was a catch. you guys remember when the league had the pushout rule? fucking joke lol.

 

[The Insane Dufresne]

Money!

 

[PhoenixDark]

That Calvin Johnson ruling ruined football

It makes no sense. This catch today was even more clear cut. Both feet down in bounds, and the ball only comes out after he's out of bounds. So fucking stupid that this even needs to be reviewed.

Refs should spend more time reviewing questionable pass interference than obvious catches like that.

 

[darkside31337]

Nice job by Nugent.

 

[vas_a_morir]

Awesome job to get points in this situation.

 

[CoilShot]

It's good Woohoo

 

[greatestjediever]

So much stupid by the refs

 

[Talamius]

Calvin Johnson just threw a brick through his TV.

Also, Triplette gonna Triplette

 

[Dosia]

wait.... what? so they review the play even though they shouldn't be able to, but then they let the spike play stand still?

makes no sense

 

[LJ11]

Right call in my eyes but if you go by the book I'm not sure it is.

Who fucking knows at this point.

 

[NastyBook]

It's about damn time they blew up Namek.

 

[ShaneB]

Good game so far

 

[JCizzle]

Pretty pathetic that absolutely nobody has any idea what constitutes a catch anymore. The NFL overcomplicates what should be the most basic of plays.

 

[Goro Majima]

Glad the Bengals made the FG though, San Diego needed to be punished for that awful play calling during their last possession.
