Bad rule, good call. If anyone doesn't know that by now, they haven't been watching football for a while. I wanna see it changed as much as anyone but that's the rule.
Be mad at Ben. He was being beyond selfish and lacked complete situational awareness in that final play. Why in the fuck would would throw in triple coverage on a slant?

He didn't maintain control of the ball throughout the process of going to the ground. Basically the ball moved a little so the clear catch isn't a catch.

He makes an effort to reach for the goaline. The minute he does that it's a catch. That is establishing himself as a runner. Not to mention, there is still no clear shot of the ball touching the ground. By rule, it's a catch. Even if not, by rule there is not enough evidence to overturn it. It's a catch and a touchdown. No I will not blame Ben. Cause that was a touchdown. By every rule it's a touchdown. No rule allows that to be overturned.

Wait is the word "kind" supposed to be my name? Because I called it a clear catch and think it's BS that the Patriots won so a Steelers fan calling me a "retarded cunt" over it wouldn't make any sense.

control, break the plane of the EZ = TD, you learn that in 3rd grade
the patriots (or the underground mob-ties or whatever it is) either pay off the officials in NY, or have their family members kidnapped and held for leverage
Not really sure how anyone argues this to be honest. I think it's stupid and should be a touchdown, but as the rule is written that is most definitely NOT a touchdown. He needs to complete the catch to the ground, and the ball moves FAR too much as it comes into contact.
The rule should be re-written, but as it stands now this is a correct no-touchdown. Stop letting the call distract you from the fact Ben choked.
I'm getting sick of the "was it a catch rule." Football has been around for so long and we still have issue defining what a catch is and is not. Rule is ruining the game and overall entertainment value of football

Also the cowboys game. I thought it was a first down when they showed footage. Then they brought out the sticks. It now looked like I was wrong or they gave the ball a bad spot. Then they bust out a folded index card. WTH! Since when is this a thing? What's the crazy rule that allows this?
