re: How many steps does it take to make "the process" complete?

Yea, the play is dead the moment the plane is broken. Big difference compared to today.

Wrong again You are on a roll

That is nothing like this. He clearly has both hands around the ball and breaks the plane with the ball never touching the ground Got anything better?

The ball hits the ground before he "completes the catch", therefore it must be incomplete according to you. The fact that he crossed the goal line is irrelevant, that doesn't apply when a catch hasn't been completed yet.

It was a catch specifically because he extended the ball.

But the Lnch rulebook says it is dead once it crosses the goaline I thought?

The problem is it was ruled a catch on the field, meaning they would need conclusive evidence that he did not intend to extend the ball.

I got you. Thats the general rule for reviews but you can see when those same standards are applied to a portion of the play itself (intent must be conclusive) it presents a logical problem. It is conclusive that we are inconclusive on the intent therefore a football move is inconclusive, conclusively.

I accept that it may have been incomplete. I find it hilarious though that Lnch makes up rules

Dude I am a saints homer. I also just like when people actually know the actual rules

If Dez breaks the plane today while falling and doesn't extend the ball it is incomplete. The plane breaking bad nothing to do with it

You honestly think he didn't have control of the ball before hitting the ground?

Not through the ground, which matters for this particular play. Falling to the ground is not a football move, so he had to possess the ball. Do you have a better example than Lance Moore?
