my philosophy is "interception = incomplete" but i think that's only for stats purposes

They made a mistake calling the play a touchdown, but they did NOT make a mistake with the replay. They aren't allowed to review who caught the ball and they definitely aren't allowed to intentionally break the rules to make up for an earlier mistake.
they intentionally make up rules or disregard them for non-crucial calls, i don't see what would make something like that any different in this situation honestly....

Thanks; that looks like a textbook case of simultaneous possession, which goes to the receiver: TD.

Tate was looking for the ball, and raised his hands to catch it, not push off Sam Shields.

Where did the NFL head office acknowledge that?

Fair enough then; the NFLs official position is that offensive PI should have been called.

Yeah, if one hand counts as possession

Left hand between Jennings' arms and on the ball; right was outside Jennings' arm and on the ball.

I have still only seen the YouTube clip, but it looked like they both had both hands on the ball.

Possession doesn't mean squat until you land. Tate had it by then

he had nothing until they landed and he tried to pull it away. everyone but you agrees on this *NM*

Not so; Cannoli and I agree on pretty much every point involved in this play.

It was very obviously caught; you can't rule that incomplete.

She hates revenue sharing, salary caps & the draft, too, but the Pack would be screwed without each.

Clearer shot, but stills do not allow us to see where Tates hands were at all times.

you can't claim "good ol' strip" *AND* simultaneous catch -- which is it?

I do not claim both: I claim simultaneous catch but IF not, then strip.

There are two separate issues: 1) Was it a simultaneous catch; 2) IF not, was it a strip?
