Revisiting the Gabe Davis dropped TD against Miami

[TBBills]

Bills won yesterday so it made the OP angry and he went back to watch the Bills loss from an old game.

A challenge definitely would not have worked. This Packers receiver had 2 feet down & 2 elbows down (before the ball came out), and it was still marked incomplete. 
 

 

 

 

Basically exactly what you were told in the other thread.

 

This is not a catch because in the act of making the catch - he goes to the ground (due to the tackle) before completing the catch and therefore must maintain the catch through the ground which he did not do.

 

It is very different from the Davis end zone play, but neither were a TD based on how the league rules catches.

I thought when the guy tucked the ball away that was a football move that completed the catch and when a body part touched the ground he would have been down, touchdown..

For what feels like the billionth time, going to the ground has nothing to do with it. The ground has literally zero to do with a catch.

 

You regurgitated what others said even when it was wrong.

 

Due to the new rules, a catch going to the ground and a catch standing up, follows the same exact rules. Therefore Gabe Davis non-TD and this non-TD is the exact same rules.

Rules are different if you are falling to the ground. You have to maintain control throught out entire if you are falling down. Gabe was not so it wouldn't have mattered

Even tho is not officially a rule anymore refs still use it as a guidline to determine what is and isnt a catch...

he lost it when he hit the ground and the ball hit the ground.
