because they wanna make sure you have something to whine about even on weeks they dont play...............:loser:

The refs don't know.

According to the rule we saw yesterday in the Giants-Saints game... i.e. forward progress as to where the Giants WR caught the ball as opposed to where he landed, this ruling makes sense to me.

He had both feet in the end zone.

The MNF crew didn't do a good job of explaining that. Jaws seemed lost.

you like to follow me around huh. you're like a lost dog or something. probably a female one...

The Broncos just put on a clinic on how to play defense when closing out a game.

I am so tired of namby pamby weak D Cords playing a soft defense and essentially let the other team go all the way down the field without pressuring the QB.

But the feet has NOTHING to do with the call. You could have both feet in the endzone and stretched out and caught the ball on the 3 yard line. That doesn't make it a touchdown. Ref should have never mentioned the feet since they don't matter.

your not hard to find your in every thread saying the same negative crap......it would seem after a while you would stop and think before you type and say...ya know ive already complained so much there really isnt anything else to dwell on so ill keep it to myself......and you know im the male dog cause i lift my leg when i piss on your crap comments

Yeah they do. If he was on the sideline and stretched to where he caught the ball outside the end zone boundary line and his feet are inbounds, he's inbounds and it's a TD.

It's a TD if either the ball crosses the goalline or the feet, a knee, elbow come down in the end zone.

If you see a ball carrier on the sideline headed for the goalline, and they lose their balance and tilt to where the ball is across the sideline, it can still be a TD if they get their feet inside the pylon.

I was thinking the same thing. They go for the kill and take the game. We seem to wait for something bad to happen. It's an attitude. Phillips' D was like this when he coached in SD as well.

The ball did not cross the plane until after he was downed. It doesn't matter where his feet are, as we saw in the Saints game.

Personally, I think they got the Saints ruling incorrect based on a literal reading of the rule. But I also think the rule is horribly worded -- must have been written by a non-lawyer.

So when did the aspect of the ball has to cross the plane of the goal to be a touchdown removed???? So now you can be 2" inside the endzone, lean out and catch it at the 3 and thats a touchdown now?

 

[ScipioCowboy]

I'm sick of week after week of throwback.

They aren't throwbacks when they are worn for half the season.

Agreed.

Certain uniforms become endearing and iconic because they represent a team. The team is eventually known by its uniform, and the uniform becomes synonymous with a chapter in the team's history.

When teams wear different uniforms every week, there's no opportunity for the uniform to endear itself and become ingrained in the mind of the viewer.

Apparently that is a TD with this officiating crew

Good Lord, where do they find these refs??? And if the guy caught the ball with his feet in the end zone, why the hell didnt the goalline ref signal TD???

The receiver caught the ball, fell down on the 1 yard line, was touched on the back, rolled into the end zone, and then the official signals TD. Why was there no TD signal as soon as he caught the ball??? Why did the ref wait till he rolled into the end zone to signal a TD if the play was over the instant the guy caught the ball???

NFL officiating is a joke

I believe section (b) of Rule 11, Sec. 2, Art. 1 is the applicable rule here:

Rule 11 Scoring

Section 2 Touchdown

Article 1 It is a touchdown (3-38):

(a) when a runner advances from the field of play and the ball touches the opponents’
goal line (plane); or
(b) while inbounds any player catches or recovers a loose ball (3-2-3) on or behind the
opponents’ goal line.​

This was the same issue as seen in the Santonio Holmes TD catch against the Ravens in the playoffs last year.

​

It was just a bad call. That rule is applicable, but only to state that it was NOT a touchdown. The ball was not on or behind the goal line. The official was claiming that when 2 feet came down part of the ball was on or beyond the goal line. He was simply wrong in that claim.

​

but doesn't the ball have to be on the goal line or behind it to be a TD?

In that one, they claimed the ball crossed the plane.
