Worst call in NFL history

That instant replay reversal was the absolute worst, most critical call in NFL history, even moreso if the Colts come back to win.

Caught the ball, knees hit the ground 3X, takes two steps, and fumbles. How is it possible that it was an incomplete pass? If it had been a WR trying to catch the ball along the sidelines, it would've obviously been ruled a catch.
That is inexcusable.

Once again instant replay overturns the correct call on the field. Replay has to go.

Against the refs there is not defense. Man, if the Colts win this, after that incredibly stupid call, by a reffing crew that was already not working so well.....

No more NFL gear for me this season.... STuPid!

That was terrible.

The PI call against NE last night was pretty bad, too. But at least that one wasn't granted a replay.

i think it equals to the fix they put in on the raiders patriot game.

I guess the drama wasn't good enough.... It was an obvious interception, and I can't wait to hear them try to spin their way out of it. The Ref crew had already blown the no call on the one false start/offsides penalty. They need to fire this guy for incompetance under pressure....

I don't understand what the ref said. He said that he lost it before his knee left the ground. I'm not sure how that's possible since it appeared that his knee was what knocked the ball loose.

So most of you agree or disagree with that call?

I say it was an interception

I can't imagine how anyone with at least one working eyeball and a rudimentary IQ at least above the level of pond scum could not see that was an INT.

...any person not saying that he had "true" possession of the ball.

NFL is turning into professional boxing.....as far as credibility.
The very instrument devised to aid in credibility, instant replay, has worsened it. instant replay is not working. It is reversing good calls more than bad.

I believe if you're trying to catch the ball in the endzone or along the sideline, getting ONE knee down = getting two feet down.
Troy hit his knees THREE times with clearcut possession AND then he stood up with one or two feet before he lost the ball. That was just simply amazing that any ref could justify or make that call.
I agree that the officiating was especially terrible both ways but WOW, that call...Ray Charles could've made blindfolded.

Yeah, that is what I figured, he clearly made a Football Move.

And remember, the Refs called it an Interception, which is important because now they had to review it to see if there is a enough "evidence" to overturn the interception call.

That was pretty crazy.

The ref was trying to say he didn't make a football move because his other knee was still touching the ground. I think it was an int......but I sort of understand what he was saying.

Did he make a football move? You decide.
