from another angle -- pun intended moondog Send a noteboard - 26/09/2012 04:01:54 PM
the position you keep arguing is that -- in the specific situation when a defender catches a pass for an interception and a receiver is right there to try to stop him from making the interception -- if the receiver tries to take the ball away from the defender at any point after the interception has been made, all he has to do is keep one hand on the ball while they go to the ground and it is a simultaneous catch.

there is no point where tate has CLEAR possession of the ball but there are several points where jennings does. in the last frame of the picture above the ball is clearly against jennings' body and tate is underneath him. not only that, but tate's right arm is ON JENNINGS and not the ball. i can think of no ruling ever in the history of the NFL where this was considered a simultaneous possession until monday night.

/NFL: now that replacement refs have cost the packers a win, can we please get the real ones back? *NM* - 25/09/2012 05:14:58 AM 711 Views
I was gonna keep it to one thread, but hell, I'll join yours. - 25/09/2012 05:24:26 AM 802 Views
Link? Clip? - 25/09/2012 05:27:07 AM 760 Views
Let's just say that Gruden used the word "Jobbed" in the live telecast. *NM* - 25/09/2012 05:35:08 AM 485 Views
Here's a link. - 25/09/2012 05:36:56 AM 860 Views
Yes and no; that is the link I referenced in my post. - 25/09/2012 05:47:07 AM 676 Views

Thanks; that looks like a textbook case of simultaneous possession, which goes to the receiver: TD. - 25/09/2012 07:29:28 AM 764 Views
pete carroll is a cheating douchebag, you cannot take his word for what happened - 25/09/2012 10:59:33 AM 1025 Views
I did not; I watched the clip: Simultaneous possession, which goes to the receiver. - 26/09/2012 01:30:18 AM 1367 Views
watch a better replay if you can - 26/09/2012 02:38:17 AM 825 Views
Have now; still not convinced. - 26/09/2012 04:01:23 AM 867 Views
that's ok. you're still wrong - 26/09/2012 04:12:56 AM 879 Views
I know you are but what am I? *MN* - 26/09/2012 04:48:47 AM 821 Views
How have you not seen this play? Are you in a cave? *NM* - 25/09/2012 03:57:55 PM 400 Views
No, I am in Norway, where NFL coverage is rather limited. - 26/09/2012 01:40:07 AM 971 Views
Wait, you're not in Houston? *NM* - 26/09/2012 01:42:45 AM 418 Views
Not since the Texas Sesquicentennial, no. - 26/09/2012 01:45:29 AM 738 Views
While you can hardly blame the replacement refs because they are basically trainees... - 25/09/2012 06:05:22 AM 943 Views
Now I really want to see this play. - 25/09/2012 06:27:42 AM 959 Views
Re: Now I really want to see this play. - 25/09/2012 02:48:56 PM 859 Views
I have still only seen the YouTube clip, but it looked like they both had both hands on the ball. - 26/09/2012 01:58:27 AM 783 Views
There are good views on nfl.com. Will link. - 26/09/2012 02:16:51 AM 936 Views
Thanks; I still do not see much to change my mind. - 26/09/2012 02:32:43 AM 873 Views
The last call was a joke. - 25/09/2012 06:52:59 AM 819 Views
Tie goes to the receiver - the rule for decades. The Packers benefitted from worse calls last year - 25/09/2012 11:31:47 AM 879 Views
you probably think greedo shot first too..... - 25/09/2012 01:49:03 PM 823 Views
They can't reverse that call. - 25/09/2012 04:43:28 PM 909 Views
the only possible way was to rule it incomplete - 25/09/2012 10:42:25 PM 891 Views
Congrats Cannoli, you are the only person (thing?) in the country who thinks it's a TD *NM* - 25/09/2012 03:53:18 PM 527 Views
I'm not even the only person in this thread, moron. *NM* - 25/09/2012 04:07:48 PM 434 Views
Joel hasn't even seen the play, douchebag *NM* - 25/09/2012 04:12:35 PM 397 Views
Just so you can get this information without namecalling ... - 25/09/2012 04:18:41 PM 795 Views
No I mean he hasn't seen the replay over and over on ESPN *NM* - 25/09/2012 04:21:46 PM 404 Views
Interesting. What is the rule with arguing refs? - 25/09/2012 05:18:35 PM 745 Views
That response was disturbingly like my thoughts on the play. - 26/09/2012 01:49:37 AM 835 Views
As a Seahawks fan. - 25/09/2012 02:10:58 PM 791 Views
No. Not with that attitude. *NM* - 25/09/2012 04:03:32 PM 384 Views
*throws public tantrum* *NM* - 25/09/2012 10:39:22 PM 369 Views
Here's the proof Cannoli is refusing to see - 25/09/2012 05:54:07 PM 890 Views
Clearer shot, but stills do not allow us to see where Tates hands were at all times. - 26/09/2012 02:10:25 AM 695 Views
you can't claim "good ol' strip" *AND* simultaneous catch -- which is it? - 26/09/2012 02:35:41 AM 1127 Views
I do not claim both: I claim simultaneous catch but IF not, then strip. - 26/09/2012 03:51:47 AM 1125 Views
you sure you saw the right replay? - 26/09/2012 04:21:57 AM 801 Views
Think so, yeah. - 26/09/2012 04:58:15 AM 965 Views
from another angle -- pun intended - 26/09/2012 04:01:54 PM 797 Views
There are two separate issues: 1) Was it a simultaneous catch; 2) IF not, was it a strip? - 27/09/2012 08:54:52 AM 990 Views
your opinion is against pretty much everyone in the world, so..... *shrug* - 27/09/2012 03:55:33 PM 1029 Views
Thanks; I did not expect you to give in so easily. - 27/09/2012 10:14:30 PM 843 Views
did you even read that article??? - 28/09/2012 12:35:39 AM 843 Views
"his control wasn’t established again...." - 28/09/2012 01:08:03 AM 1233 Views
wow, what a thorough analysis you sent me either way, you're still wrong - 28/09/2012 02:05:24 AM 945 Views
That is not an argument. - 28/09/2012 02:26:58 AM 741 Views
