yep...told you, we get fucked all the time!!

[Rastak]

Ah, first foot was in the end zone so when the second foot came down it was OB.....

[swede]

Pereira said the process of completing the catch has to happen before plane of goal linr comes into effect. Makes sense.

[pittstang5]

Weak! Just when I think I understand the rules...oh fuck it!

[Rastak]

Actually the call made perfect sense once explained.

I think I could make an existential argument that he had possession of the ball when his right toes were still in the turf at the 2 yard line.

His first foot when he caught the ball was already in the end zone, as we all know you must get both feet in bounds when you catch the ball in the end zone.

Yes.

And Shields was innocent :raspberries:

That's the good and bad of the NFL - everything is gray.

[HarveyWallbangers]

Bad call. Right foot may have (perhaps even likely) been on the ground when he caught the ball. I could see it being ruled incomplete if that's the call on the field. It wasn't, and there shouldn't have been enough evidence to overturn it.

[pbmax]

Perry hurt left foot.

[pittstang5]

Now Perry out.....foot, ankle? They just keep going down.


Oh, thank god, just a loose shoe

[Rastak]

Who?

[pittstang5]

Damn, so close.

Well, you need both feet anywhere to make a catch. But end zone couldn't save him since it wasn't an established catch prior to crossing goaline.
