It's a fucktarded rule.
Cost me a fantasy football playoff spot on the famous Calvin Johnson "drop" (self $75k).
I hate it. But they called it correctly based on the fucked up rule. -
Tried to make the hero play, dropped the ball.
Green Bay would have won anyway. -
If you can't see that Dez made that catch, then you should go have a heart to heart talk with @GrandpaSankey

If you can't see that Dez put the ball on the ground prior to completing the process of a catch, you deserve #Owen16.Tequilla said:If you can't see that Dez made that catch, then you should go have a heart to heart talk with @GrandpaSankey

And Boobs, I get the rules in how they are written. I get that with the way the rules are written the outcome was what it was. I'm also saying that the rule is more FS than Miley Cyrus' throwing motion and if your common sense can't see that Dez made that catch then I can't help you.

He's already falling to the ground on the 2nd step. Case closed.Tequilla said:
I agree that the rule is absolutely fucktarded. I just have no idea how to make the rule better. -
Why can't one fall to the ground while making a football move? These are million dollar athletes. Let the fuckers entertain.

Whoa whoa whoa.. I agree with you, on all of this, but nothing is more FS than Miley Cylies throwing motionTequilla said:And Boobs, I get the rules in how they are written.

I get the rule ... I don't even disagree with the rule when it comes to an immediate act of tackling someone after the catch.
But in this case, the player took 3 steps, changed hands in which he was holding the football to protect it from the defender (which I absolutely consider a football move), and tried to stretch the football to the goal line (again, another play that I consider a football play). Where does the line stop between being part of the act of making the catch versus the ground causing the fumble?
NFL officials are very good normally with interpreting the rule. The official that made the original call was in GREAT position to make the call and apply judgment regarding whether or not he completed a catch and made a football play or not.
