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 706 Views
I was gonna keep it to one thread, but hell, I'll join yours. - 25/09/2012 05:24:26 AM 794 Views
Link? Clip? - 25/09/2012 05:27:07 AM 750 Views
Let's just say that Gruden used the word "Jobbed" in the live telecast. *NM* - 25/09/2012 05:35:08 AM 467 Views
Here's a link. - 25/09/2012 05:36:56 AM 851 Views
Yes and no; that is the link I referenced in my post. - 25/09/2012 05:47:07 AM 668 Views

Thanks; that looks like a textbook case of simultaneous possession, which goes to the receiver: TD. - 25/09/2012 07:29:28 AM 752 Views
pete carroll is a cheating douchebag, you cannot take his word for what happened - 25/09/2012 10:59:33 AM 1018 Views
I did not; I watched the clip: Simultaneous possession, which goes to the receiver. - 26/09/2012 01:30:18 AM 1359 Views
watch a better replay if you can - 26/09/2012 02:38:17 AM 817 Views
Have now; still not convinced. - 26/09/2012 04:01:23 AM 862 Views
that's ok. you're still wrong - 26/09/2012 04:12:56 AM 872 Views
I know you are but what am I? *MN* - 26/09/2012 04:48:47 AM 814 Views
How have you not seen this play? Are you in a cave? *NM* - 25/09/2012 03:57:55 PM 396 Views
No, I am in Norway, where NFL coverage is rather limited. - 26/09/2012 01:40:07 AM 967 Views
Wait, you're not in Houston? *NM* - 26/09/2012 01:42:45 AM 414 Views
Not since the Texas Sesquicentennial, no. - 26/09/2012 01:45:29 AM 730 Views
While you can hardly blame the replacement refs because they are basically trainees... - 25/09/2012 06:05:22 AM 938 Views
Now I really want to see this play. - 25/09/2012 06:27:42 AM 945 Views
Re: Now I really want to see this play. - 25/09/2012 02:48:56 PM 852 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 773 Views
There are good views on nfl.com. Will link. - 26/09/2012 02:16:51 AM 919 Views
Thanks; I still do not see much to change my mind. - 26/09/2012 02:32:43 AM 852 Views
The last call was a joke. - 25/09/2012 06:52:59 AM 805 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 871 Views
you probably think greedo shot first too..... - 25/09/2012 01:49:03 PM 817 Views
They can't reverse that call. - 25/09/2012 04:43:28 PM 901 Views
the only possible way was to rule it incomplete - 25/09/2012 10:42:25 PM 880 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 525 Views
I'm not even the only person in this thread, moron. *NM* - 25/09/2012 04:07:48 PM 430 Views
Joel hasn't even seen the play, douchebag *NM* - 25/09/2012 04:12:35 PM 395 Views
Just so you can get this information without namecalling ... - 25/09/2012 04:18:41 PM 789 Views
No I mean he hasn't seen the replay over and over on ESPN *NM* - 25/09/2012 04:21:46 PM 401 Views
Interesting. What is the rule with arguing refs? - 25/09/2012 05:18:35 PM 740 Views
That response was disturbingly like my thoughts on the play. - 26/09/2012 01:49:37 AM 830 Views
As a Seahawks fan. - 25/09/2012 02:10:58 PM 785 Views
No. Not with that attitude. *NM* - 25/09/2012 04:03:32 PM 378 Views
*throws public tantrum* *NM* - 25/09/2012 10:39:22 PM 365 Views
Here's the proof Cannoli is refusing to see - 25/09/2012 05:54:07 PM 883 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 686 Views
you can't claim "good ol' strip" *AND* simultaneous catch -- which is it? - 26/09/2012 02:35:41 AM 1118 Views
I do not claim both: I claim simultaneous catch but IF not, then strip. - 26/09/2012 03:51:47 AM 1119 Views
you sure you saw the right replay? - 26/09/2012 04:21:57 AM 793 Views
Think so, yeah. - 26/09/2012 04:58:15 AM 949 Views
from another angle -- pun intended - 26/09/2012 04:01:54 PM 789 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 980 Views
your opinion is against pretty much everyone in the world, so..... *shrug* - 27/09/2012 03:55:33 PM 1019 Views
Thanks; I did not expect you to give in so easily. - 27/09/2012 10:14:30 PM 834 Views
did you even read that article??? - 28/09/2012 12:35:39 AM 837 Views
"his control wasn’t established again...." - 28/09/2012 01:08:03 AM 1197 Views
wow, what a thorough analysis you sent me either way, you're still wrong - 28/09/2012 02:05:24 AM 931 Views
That is not an argument. - 28/09/2012 02:26:58 AM 734 Views
