USMCBillsFan Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 Looking at that on replay it looked to me that the nose of the ball hit the ground on that long pass. I thought Gilmore was going to get the pick but looking at it after the fact it didn't appear he maintained control and the ball hit the ground. Anyone else notice this? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ahvyw2cnO2Y Watch closely when he rolls over. You can clearly see the ball on the ground during the process of the catch.

Miyagi-Do Karate Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 A lot of us were saying the same thing in the game thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ball can touch the ground as long as the receiver maintains full control and Jones did (See Bert Emmanuel Rule). There was nothing to challenge.

There was nothing to challenge. It just appears to me that the ball is moving and that he didn't have "full control" of it. Could've been worth a look in a critical part of the game IMO...

CodeMonkey Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 (edited) I just watched it a couple times and he seemed to have it locked tight by the time he hit the ground. Great catch. Only reason to challenge that is to hope for a zebra screwup or at the very least slow the bengal roll during the review.

Agreed, having just re-watched it a few times. That ball didn't budge. By the way, we are like the only team that Marvin Jones destroys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TC in St. Louis Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 I have no idea how he caught that ball. Gilmore had him covered. It was just one of those things. Like the catch by Amendola. Unbelievable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coach Tuesday Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 Duke Williams was late to the scene. Great catch nonetheless. And for no reason. Jones was streaking down the middle of the field, right into Duke's responsibility. Duke Williams is a moron. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John in Jax Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 I've sometimes heard announcers say that when the ball hits the ground, the receiver is supposed to have his hands under the ball in order for it to be a good catch. Don't know if the latter is true, but in this case he did not, rather, he had his hands on both sides of the ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave mcbride Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 Yeah, that was awesome coverage by Gilmore. Sometimes the other guys make plays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
