Was I the only one who was screaming at Nantz and Romo as they kept wondering aloud why that wasn't a catch and urging the Steelers to challenge?

 

How do these announcers see so many games live, get paid to know things like why that wasn't a catch(basic rules) and STILL never seem to know these things??

 

It wasn't a catch because a hand being down DOES NOT count towards determining whether a player is in bounds or not. Has to be feet or a body part(wrist, elbow, butt, knee, etc)

 

He clearly had one foot down in bounds and then his elbow came down out of bounds.

 

Clear no catch. Easy rule to know. How do these announcers not know basic rules when they are paid to know this stuff??

I'd guess that most of us knew the rule and were rolling our eyes, but that yes, you were the only one screaming.

It's amazing.  Not like it used to be, when the rule book was proprietary.  You can go to nfl.com and download the pdf.  Easy peasy.  They're paid millions of dollars to announce a game and they can't even be bothered to read the rulebook.

you’re way too concerned over this. They missed the call in real time. Big deal.

Sorry...I take pride in doing my job and I don't make 17 million a year. Not sure why they can't take pride in theirs.

Sometimes people make mistakes on the job.

I'm sure you've never left the fries in the fryer a bit too long. 🤷‍♂️

Well as George Costanza found out…they usually give those jobs to ex ball players.

Haha, OK, I can be a little anal on some things

 

Eh Romo was on everyones nerves hyping up Pickett at the beginning of the game I think. Like is this a Bills home game or what? The talking up of the guy before he even threw a ball was nauseating.

Tell ya George Pickens has best receiver in football kinda talent Greg Cosells favorite draft receiver and I could see why. What a player   

Was hoping he'd land in Buffalo, but we'll be more than happy with Shakir
