With the ability to slow down replay, there needs to be a 3rd component of a catch. It can't be a time requirement, because you'd be drawing an arbitrary line in the sand. The ability to perform a football move is a catch-all that allows for some discretion. It has to be included to define when a player in motion has caught it. It's not a requirement of all catches . If a player goes up , catches a ball comes down with two feet and immediately is tackled it's obviously a catch. It's just stating that a third step equals the moment a ball is caught when a player is on the move. Or the player could just extend for the goal line a la Jesse James play and that equals a catch, thus a TD when the ball breaks the plane. All looks good to me.

I'd go something like this: Replay in super slow mo shows control (can we agree that 'control' is something we can come pretty close to consensus on?), two feet/body part down in bounds, after which ball becomes dislodged so either- 1. It's a fumble if he's inbounds or 2. It's a catch if he's going OOB I think it's pretty straightforward, honestly. Instead of looking at it as an entire amorphous and subjective collective of things that must occur within this weird extended period of indeterminate time, just do it piecemeal and in order...first, establish control. Second, and while maintaining control, get some part of your body on the floor. Once those two things have been fulfilled, what happens next is a fumble or a fumble recovery.

MAJBobby Posted March 21, 2018 Posted March 21, 2018 And bullet 3.3 of the new rule screws it all up. They were good right until that Bullet

Irv Posted March 21, 2018 Posted March 21, 2018 Goodell should be power slammed through a burning table.

Bills fans didn't have a problem with this one because it's indisputable that, by the NFL's interpretation of the catch rule in 2017, Clay didn't 'survive the ground'. Benjamin's was ruled a TD and there was no indisputable video evidence to the contrary. Same application of the rule, as Brown correctly points out, but vastly different situations which is why I think this tweet is dumbdumbdumb.
row_33 Posted March 21, 2018 Posted March 21, 2018 it's just random so have a poll each time and ask the fans what the correct call should be and then screw the majority over

How is it dumb with the point that it would be a TD in 2018? He's right.

But to conflate the two by framing them in Bills fans’ respective outrage or lack thereof is very dumb.

The Wiz Posted March 22, 2018 Posted March 22, 2018 So can someone explain/define what the "line-to-gain" is? Seems vague which to me can mean, open for interpretation by the refs.
