Checks last name of Ref...makes so much more sense.

Throw the challenge!

By rule. He did not catch it.  Have to follow through with catch in control without bobbling.  He bobbled it hitting the ground out of bounds

[BeavercreekBillsFan]

They’ve gone too damn far with the catch rule. At this point until you get both feet down and take the ball home and safely put it on a shelf, it’s not a catch. Now we are stuck at our 3.

I don’t even know what I want them to do on offense, but it’d be nice if Dorsey did!

 

Dorsey's play calling was fine on the last drive.

How about we not leave Q one on one blocking Josh’s blindside in his own endzone?

Time to change the catch bs 3 feet down then out of bounds a little wiggle common 

Yup. Takes away some great plays

I guess I have no idea what’s a catch or not.  2 feet down and out of bounds With control.  Why is it not a dead ball once he is out of bounds?  Had control.

Yeah idk man. Dumb rule. I don't get why that had to ever be discussed and enforced 

[Coach Tuesday]

Would that have been a catch if he landed like that in bounds?  Why should it be any different if he lands out of bounds?

Doesn't matter. It's because he was going out of bounds. He didn't establish firm control as he left the playing field. If that happens inbounds then it is still an INT. 

It seems like he had firm control until he hit the ground, even then the ball never came out.  Either way, its a weird rule.

execution has been the issue all night.

[Kmart128]

I can see why they overturned the pick... the ball did move but i dont think the ball ever hit ground and even tho ball moved he maintained complete possession

TD will put the game away.

Ive been a Bills fan too long to take ANY lead for granted this early

Both would be good as long as they’re together

Is it me or does anyone else hate “surviving the ground” more than anything?

Yea because the ball never hit the ground , I thought for sure that was a pick. 

[HurlyBurly51]

if that's inbounds it a catch, right?  but out of bounds and end zone its not?

[Special K]

Bills should be winning by 30 at this point.

 

I honestly feel that 10 points is the smallest possible lead the Bills could have given how the game has gone to this point

And therein lies the crux of the debate

[Nephilim17]

We need more of those meat and potato 4 yard runs. They matter.
