No, one person was part of the overturn, one person headed the competition committee that adjusted the rule., and the other person supporting it was his mentor who did a 180 on it the minute he no longer had the job.
So back to conspiracy.

Where did you read anything like that my reply? Your questions weren't even about rules -- they were about case plays.


Enough time to lunge. That's how you completed the catch process in 2014, by maintaining control long enough (after two feet down) to perform any act common to the game. The lunge was that act that satisfied the time requirement. The act itself isn't a part of the process, but the time that passes before you perform the act is. The act itself is a separate process. That's why they say, "We felt it was all one process." They mean just the process of the catch, which isn't completed if there's no second act that follows it.


"Time things?"
It doesn't say enough time to lunge. It says time and then a separate act of lunging. What is time?

Good to know you don't believe in alternate facts.

So we'll just go with the NFL facts then.

Or how about the actual facts? You know, the rule, case plays, history, what happened on the play, etc?

You guys can go with alternate facts (clear you don't understand what was meant with that term btw) like parroting articles and delayed comments from people making PR statememts to CYA.

Here is their basic argument.

The case play says lunge so only that works.
We point out that lunge is under act common to the game where 8.1.3.c lists acts and says any act.
They say it doesn't matter look at the case play.
We say where is a rule citation to support that.
They say look at the case play.

It is on a loop and no amount of facts or logic will stop it.

Cite that any act can be performed while a player is going to the ground.

Catch process says any act.

Case play shows an act can be performed while "falling" (going to the ground includes hitting the ground to be fulfilled).

Simple (or should be).

You mean all the things the officials and competition committees get paid to understand and enforce? And to actually write? And those same folks saying it wasn't a catch?

No, that's not our basic argument. Lunge is only part of it. Interrupting the fall is the act. Lunging just gets them to the ground.

8.1.3.c which supports A.R. 15.95, which corresponds with A.R. 8.12.

Your turn.
Spin, spin.

No case plays. That's the rules you gave me.

813c says nothing about a player going to the ground. But there is a rule on that that doesn't say anything about any act. It's just maintain possession.

What's your next spin?

It's just a BS cop out answer. And believe me, there is nothing you could help me out with. With the exception being, understanding a delusional personality.

And we are the ones who don't understand the catch process.:facepalm:
Obviously. And you don't even know what argument you're debating against. To be successful at an argument you need to be able to argue the opposing side as well or better than they can.

And yet we still have not gotten a rule citation from you.:huh:

What I gave you is how rule book and case book works together. I have a rule citation that applies to A.R.15.95, you don't. Remember A.R.15.95 is labeled act common to the game and that specifically links it to 8.1.3.c. You know 8.1.3.c that says any act.

The fact that the language that is used within A.R.15.95 is consistent with A.R.8.12, that means that 8.1.3.c also applies there.

That ain't spin, that is fact.
