just take away the "going to the ground language"

possession + 2 feet (or a knee, etc) + any football move (reaching towards goal line) = catch

none of that "maintain throughout the process" stuff

Everyone with at least an ounce of common sense knew this already. The rule is just written poorly.

If a receiver ever has total control of the ball, it should be a catch. Forget the ground. Dez caught the ball, Jesse James caught the ball.

wasn't a catch according to the rules at the time, they want it to be a catch going forward tbh

Funny how it took a call that went against the Steelers to make this a serious discussion.

Those aren't mentioned in the article or any of the quoted parties because those calls weren't botched, dipshit. Calvin's catch was 2010, Dez 2014...so apparently the Jesse James play was the last straw.

Are you just lonely and looking for an argument in EVERY thread again? Dude you live in SoCal and are supposedly an attorney. Either you have no clients, still haven't passed the bar, or have zero social life.

Log off, it won't kill you

:lol i thought the same thing. If it hurt the Steelers or Peyton, or helped the Patriots, those rules get changed real fuckin quick.

Don't forget that John Mara is the ringleader of this cause too, as if they could make it any more obvious:lol

except the james play is the one where they said there's no consensus on whether that one should or shouldn't be a catch

and oh, ok. i'll take all that into consideration

i think the rule is better as it is now. it allows for cocky pricks to look dumb as fuck when they start celebrating before they even secured the ball.

Except that nobody has ever had a catch reversed because of that.
