I want to know why Wilson's was ruled incomplete

[Forward_Lateral]

Jordy Nelson had a catch in the GB vs SD game, and his ball CLEARLY hit the ground. It was ruled a catch, and a TD. Wilson's was ruled an INT on the field, and I saw no clear evidence that he didn't have control of it when it touched the ground. How on earth did that call get over turned? I would like to hear the NFL's explanation of this.

Different officiating crews see thing differently.

It was an INT, in my opinion. Can't see how someone would overrule it based on that "evidence."

The rules are clear cut. I'm not sure how different officials can make different assumptions. If this is the case, then replay truly is useless.

Well obviously certain refs have different definitions of "indisputable evidence."

I don't expect consistency on a game to game basis. It's well known that some crews are more likely to make certain calls (like defensive pass interference), some crews throw more flags in general, etc.

My issue is when one crew isn't consistent within the span of one game.

Julio Jones had one too that was initially ruled incomplete only to be ruled a TD after review.

Difference = Ed Hochuli

i really thought it was an INT.

Re: I want to know why Wilson's was ruled incomplete

Especially when they ruled it an interception on the field, they seen conclusive evidence to overturn that?

Anybody got a video replay?

Re: I want to know why Wilson's was ruled incomplete

I tweeted at Mike Pereira during the game asking how in the hell Hochuli could have ruled that no INT. His response was...

MikePereira Mike Pereira
@CoreyMc81 he didn't have control of the ball

I replied back making the case that you could CLEARLY see Wilson's red glove under the ball, but didn't get another response from him. That was a joke of a call and a turning point in the game.

There wasn't conclusive evidence that it was or wasn't an INT, so the call on the field should've stood. Bad officiating.

Re: I want to know why Wilson's was ruled incomplete

Does anyone else think that the NFL should employ a replay system similar to the NHL, where the disputed calls are sent to the "Video Goal (in this case, TD) Judge" to be reviewed by an un-biased NFL judge? Referee's could still make calls on the field and review as needed, but if there is a dispute, or any question about the call it would then be sent to a higher authority. I feel this would help clear up many of the inconsistencies in calls made by the refs...

Like the crease rule replay in the Dallas game?

This is a FANTASTIC sentence!

The play was ruled incomplete because George Wilson fails to play for the team in the #1 media market in the NFL. The Jets will not be charged a time out.
