I was there, so I didn't get to see the replay on TV or here the commentators ...

1. Did Russell Shepard really catch the ball in the end zone? It was ruled an incomplete pass, but from my view point in the South Endzone, we all thought he caught it.

2. Last question, Washington backed up to their own 2 yard line, completed a gain for 18 + ... next play or two, looked like a side line out that the receiver ran and ruled a catch, but again, we all thought the play should have been reviewed, because it appeared to us he was out of bounds.

It was a bang-bang play...probably a catch but not enough conclusive evidence to overturn.

I don't think it was a catch, no.

I don't recall the 2nd play

1. IMO not a catch
2. Never showed a replay of a Wash catch that was even close and called good

I thought the spot was the thing questionable there

I thought it was going to be a bout 3rd and 2-3 and then they line it up at 3rd and 1

Marker on the sideline could have been off though

I don't think that Les wanted to review the play for Shep because he needs him to hold on and leave no doubt.

In any case we have no reason to complain. I thought that the incomplete by Mett was a clear lateral and we lucked out because one of the refs blew his whistle after the guy started running with it. Clearly the closest refs were letting the play run. Some other calls and spots were pretty favorable as well, tho I can't recall them right now because the game was awesome.

I, and every other Tiger fan with a brain, would have gone ballistic if that was called a TD for one of our opponents.

It was not a catch.

Not a td IMO. To me he caught the ball but never actually finished the catch, if that makes sense.
