&$#%#&@! that ref

its a stupid rule but the refs called it correctly based on the stupid rule. I feel you though, they did the same exact thing to zach miller last year that decided the game.

by the rule… the call was right. It’s a stupid rule but it’s still a rule. At times like this I am always reminded of what my friend told me after his school (cross town rival) beat my school….

“Who won? We won, We won, We won” (then repeat)

How can you say both of those weren’t touchdowns. Especially the Calvin Johnson one. If there EVER was a touchdown, that Calvin Johnson catch was it.

One of the worst calls ever in football or any sport. And the cover up was just as bad.

The thing that EVERYONE missed the boat on with this is that it shouldn’t have had anything to do with that rule.

"If a player goes to the ground in the act of catching a pass (with or without contact by an opponent), he must maintain control of the ball after he touches the ground, whether in the field of play or the end zone. If he loses control of the ball, and the ball touches the ground before he regains control, the pass is incomplete. If he regains control prior to the ball touching the ground, the pass is complete."

Everyone excused that call saying it was the right call but the rule is bad. WRONG. That rule shouldn’t have even applied to that play. Had he come down on his butt without having two feet down first then the rule would apply and the call would have been correct.

He had two feet down and then fell to his butt all the while maintaining possession (at which point it was a TD) and then rolled and put the ball to the turf. At that point he could have thrown the ball into the stands, or slammed the ball to the ground in celebration and it’s a TD. Terrible call, and there’s no way anyone can convince me they take the TD away from a team like New England, New Orleans or Indy. The Lions finally win a road game after 2 years and they get robbed. Inexcusable.

What is THE worst call ever in any sport?  For me Roy Jones Jr. losing in the 1988 Olympics comes to mind.

i dont know aran, i have looked up a few reports on the call and all the officials and former officials have said that it was called correctly. I thought the 2 feet down was legit until it happend to my raiders a year ago and apparently the rule is that when going to the ground the reciever must maintain possesion throught the entire process and the ground can still cause an incompletion. I think its common sense that it was a td and they need to change the rule.
