So once again, if you catch the ball with two feet on the ground and show possession yet bobble it when you hit the ground, should it be a catch?

Re: Here we go again with the "catch" rule
Originally posted by FirstDownBillsthe referee's interpretation was that his other knee was still on the ground when the ball came out so therefore it was ruled an incomplete pass which makes no sense to me.
Two feet (or knee) on the ground with possession of the ball should = catch. It happens all the time where a WR catches it with a toe tap and then flies out of bounds. The same rule should apply in bounds as well. That's my opinion and isn't going to change (not saying this directly to you...just in general)
P.S. You are right about my term bobble...I didn't mean to say that. However the spirit of the debate is still about the same idea, i.e., when is a catch a catch.

You all forget Rule 59, section 4, paragraph 6b: "Any questionable calls involving Peyton Manning must be ruled in his favor.""It is better to be divided by truth than to be united by error." -- Martin Luther

Re: Here we go again with the "catch" rule
that interception was one of the worst calls i have ever seen. as a poster at finheaven pointed out: how do you roll over and keep your knees on the ground the whole time? the ref pulled that one from somewhere, and it wasn't the rulebook or even the spirit of the rulebook.

I'd really like to see an official NFL explanation, but I won't hold my breath."'Clean up your room.', 'Stand up straight.', 'Pick up your feet.', 'Take it like a man.', 'Be nice to your sister.', 'Don't mix beer and wine, ever.'. Oh yeah, 'Don't drive on the railroad track.'"
"Eh, Phil. That's one I happen to agree with."

Re: Here we go again with the "catch" rule
Not one, but two. The first Denver TD was bogus, since the PI should have been called on the offensive player instead of the defensive player. The fumble into the endzone gave them another TD when it was ruled out at the 1."'Clean up your room.', 'Stand up straight.', 'Pick up your feet.', 'Take it like a man.', 'Be nice to your sister.', 'Don't mix beer and wine, ever.'.
