Two feet in...and he had control with his hands. Clear as a bell...even to Bama fan.

The "catch" of the ball begins when the ball touches the receiver's hands (in this case PP). At that moment when the ball touches the receiver's hands, he has one foot on the ground (his left). Subsequently, he tucks the ball without a bobble and proceeds to get a second foot inbounds (his right), which is technically moot b/c he's already gotten one foot in bounds AND is in the process of making an un-bobbled catch. A receiver does not have to have the ball tucked away and THEN get a foot inbounds. The "catch" begins the moment the ball touches the receivers hands. Learn the rules.

P.S. If this isn't true, the Arizona Cardinals got robbed out of Superbowl win last year.

Clearly, Peterson had control and had "at least" one foot in bounds, if not 2-3 feet down in bounds. Only question is whether there really is an "interpretation" of a "football move", such as "tucking the ball". I am not aware of whether this is required or not. Is the receiver or interceptor required to tuck the ball completely into himself in order to establish "possession"? Regardless, it appears that he did "all of the above".

Insofar as the block in the back on the Jones 75 yd. dash, this is pathetic. Anyone who thinks that this did not allow Jones to run right past Taylor is an idiot, and certainly NEVER played football before. I guess Taylor was supposed to be strong enough to tackle Jones with his fingertips then, huh??

Given the evidence, this "block in the back" was the real game-changer. Until then Julio Jones was lucky to catch anything for more than a few yards. And, certainly too bad for Taylor - he did not deserve the wrath of the media on that play. I wonder how well McElroy would've operated with a 10-yd. penalty that backed them up inside their 20 with a 1st and 20 instead of a long TD?? I guess we'll never know on that count either, will we?

Complete BS.
