The Dolphins Make Me Cry.com - Forums

It's getting more and more difficult for me to follow the NFL as it is sickening to watch the Patriots get lucky and have the other teams hand them games.

I thought Pittsburgh had scored.

I thought James had caught the ball and gone to the ground, then, made a football move to extend the ball over the goal line.  I thought his making that extension meant he had completed the process of going to the ground.

Steelers got tuck ruled.

It's pretty clear at this point that Belichek made a deal with the devil. Or he is the devil.

That was a BULLSHIT call and another perfect example of Bill BelliCHEAT and Kim Jong Goodell having the refs in their pocket to give New England another title.   If I was that Steelers receiver, I'd take my game check and put out a hit on that ref!!

The rule is controversial but it was applied correctly given the current rule.

The rule sucks but it is the rule. It was the rule before that play and it is still the rule after the play. New England and the refs had nothing to do with the call going that way. New England is not only good but they are one of the luckiest teams I've ever seen.

It was a bad beat for pittsburgh but it was the correct call. the rule is pretty clear .. it wasn't a catch.
This isn't the call where detroit had a TD removed when Calvin started celebrating too soon after going to the ground .. this was a pretty clear cut case of it being not a TD

To me, he caught it, made a football move and the ball came out.

This one wasn't that close. My gut feeling "live" was that the ball came lose while he was going to the ground and reply showed that's exactly what happened. He was clearly going top the ground while making the catch so there's no way to make a football move. Just have to keep control of the ball all the way and he clearly didn't do that.

I'm not that down on the catch (non Calvin Johnson) rules. If much rather have the fumble out of the endzone enforced like fumbles out of bounds everywhere else.
