Bad challenge.

I personally think that's a fumble but refs won't call that a catch.

 

[ChronoSerge]

What are the rules for a catch again? Shit's crazy inconsistent.

Need to take like 2 steps with control or something

 

[brentech]

wait

that was a hard hit

why isn't McCourty ejected?

Because it wasn't on a punt returner that had no expectation of being hit.
Don't be dense.

 

[Tankard]

That's a fumble to me, he "secured" the ball on his right hand and suffered the fumble after doing a football move, if anybody still knows what is a football move these days.

 

[Alligatorjandro]

Fumble

 

[Colasante]

I think that should be a catch and fumble, but I don't think it is by the NFL's metric.

 

[Bread]

That was an Earl Thomas-esque play

mccourty is a poor man's thomas like chancellor is a poor man's chung!

 

[vikki]

I don't think the Pats will win this, but I have no idea what a catch is.

 

[EthanC]

used a helmet

no flag?

And they say fans don't know the rules....

 

[doctordoak]

Dirty play by the Patriots.

What? Really? Haha

 

[jakncoke]

How much would you pay from your alcohol fund?

125 May be

 

[LiK]

Remind me why it's not a fumble.

 

[slightconfuse]

How does these FTP games have christoph Waltz money?

 

[Greg]

I don't think I can read these posts anymore

 

[Violence Jack]

Welcome again to "What is or is not a catch" season 1,000,000.

 

[TheFatOne]

That was an Earl Thomas-esque play

He's a tier below Thomas, but it's great seeing good safety play from the Pats after years of shit safeties.

 

[TheLostBigBoss]

Because it wasn't on a punt returner that had no expectation of being hit.

Spoiler

im being s a r c a s t i c

 

[GalacticToast]

Remind me why it's not a fumble.

Because it means the Pats get closer to winning.

 

[Godslay]

Chris Waltz cashing in on the F2P shit money.

 

[Trey]

yeah he made a football move and took 2 steps

He did not make a football move, and the defender made contact simultaneously with the second foot coming down. Not a catch, called correctly on the field.

 

[Duxxy3]

I forgot we have an official here. Mike Carey what do you think?!

It's a field goal.

 

[Bread]

I don't think I can read these posts anymore

we need the offseason thread

 

[RdN]

Yeah, no way they'd reverse that.

 

[MrS]

Because it means the Pats get closer to winning.

FOH with that bullshit.

 

[davidwhangchoi]

That's Bull but whatever....

 

[rootbeerafloat]

Right call, bad rule

 

[ColdPizza]

The NFL needs to simplify the catch rules this off season

 

[Dragon]

What? Really? Haha

I'm being ironical.

 

[Tragicomedy]

I forgot we have an official here. Mike Carey what do you think?!

The rules on what constitutes a catch are confusing as hell, but that never gets called as a fumble. He came down and lost the ball prior to completing his second step.

Total waste to challenge.

 

[rando14]

mccourty is a poor man's thomas like chancellor is a poor man's chung!

Trade pls?

 

[FrenchMovieTheme]

How can anyone think that would be ruled a fumble? Lol

 

[PopeReal]

The NFL needs to simplify the catch rules this off season

Among other things.

Oh right

 

[slightconfuse]

Lol lol lol

 

[Dishwalla]

fuck

 

[ShowDog]

I thought Alex had that 15 yard completion for a minute...

Edit: haha stupid ass interception, keep cheering morons.

 

[ChronoSerge]

Dude better off not catching that

 

[davidwhangchoi]

it's actually better if it wasn't INT

 

[Bread]

harmon you fuck lmao

 

[crazyprac]

That int... Shodve just push it away

 

[TheLostBigBoss]

How can anyone think that would be ruled a fumble? Lol

It was a gamble considering he is up by 14 points and the turn over would have ended the game.

Good challenge even if it had a small chance to be overturned.

 

[friskykillface]

LOL let it go dumbass

 

[LyleLanley]

Probably should've just slapped that out of bounds.

 

[RdN]

Game over.

Bye bye Chiefs.

 

[Simply Sarah]

Don't celebrate, you idiots. That was 4th down.

 

[JABEE]

:jnc better off not catching that

 

[LJ11]

Why are you idiots happy?

 

[VeryGooster]

lol bruh

 

[GalacticToast]

Should have just knocked it out

 

[RellyRell28]

WTF you want that to be incomplete
