Once he hit the ground short of the goal line he technically became a runner, so the the control rule shouldn't have applied after he stretched out. Although, that third down play is what killed them. It's TD or throw away there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwilson Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 At least as I understand it, the TD can't count until you've become a runner, and you can't become a runner until you complete the process of the catch. If you're going to the ground as you catch the ball, you need to control the ball through the ground (no ground-assisted movement) or you can't complete the process of the catch, and in turn you can't become a runner. The rule is extremely convoluted, but it isn't the first time someone has been screwed by it. If the rule is called consistently, that's probably all you can ask for. My issue is whether they could truly overturn the call on the field. Replay evidence has to be 100%, zero doubt, conclusive. I think it's close, but that's not zero doubt. This is from an objective POV, by the way, as I'm not really a Steelers fan (sorry folks). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
north pgh Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 A touchdown in pick up football, flag football, high school football, college football. A celebration and an exciting ending to an exciting game. In the NFL we have to pick the play apart frame by frame. Overrule it. Ruin an exciting ending to an exciting game. Sorry but let these guys play. Fan or not rules and replay has to change. Now let's get a damn snow storm!!!!!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is from an objective POV, by the way, as I'm not really a Steelers fan (sorry folks). This. I agree by the way the rule is written there was a valid reason to "review" the play but it was ruled a touchdown on the field. He was down on his knee with full control of the ball before making a move towards the goal line, had control of the ball has it broke the plane of the goal line up and until there was some movement as his hands hit the ground. It's really leaving this interpretation up to a human and I certainly didn't think the outcome from video review was 100% conclusive.. In other news the snow storm we had a few days back on Christmas day has been awarded to NE, ruin our football and steal our snow! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rd9108 Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 Man that storm could be insane for the far eastern coast. They are walking a tight rope right now and it looks like it's trending west on almost every model except GFS. I don't want this thing to come anywhere near us. It's better that NYC gets crushed and us not getting fringed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

north pgh Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 I see Boston is under a winter storm watch for 8-12 inches of snow. It seems like they get at least 2 or 3 of these types of storms a year. Here in pitt anymore we have to wait 4 or 5 years for one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But let's be honest we are atleast wayyyyyyyyyyy overdo for 6-12 type storm. Couldn't tell you the last time the metro had a winter storm warning for plain snow.

We have easily the most mundane weather in the country. At least San Diego, though quiet, is beautiful. Pittsburgh is boring and grey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blackngoldrules Posted January 3, 2018 Author Share Posted January 3, 2018 When WE need a west shift, it NEVER happens. Yet, those to our east and even southeast, that seem to routinely get big storms every winter anymore, have things fall into place perfectly for them. It's amazing. I guess I need to move to Williamsburg, VA if I want to see a big snowstorm now. I go there once a year on vacation, may as well just move there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh yeah, SNE has been winning in general for a long time. They're naturally going to have better chances at snowstorms, just because of geography. But the last 15 or so years, has been win after win after win. Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
