Of course that's the truth, the problem is it doesn't consider whether the person supposedly in control intended it to move.

I agree, but that is not how a catch is defined. The ball is supposed to be in control FIRST and then you look for the feet being in bounds. The ball was not in his control while the first foot was in bounds IMO.
I don't really give a damn because frick the Bengals, but I don't believe it was a catch.

Yeah, because people in this thread are clearly perplexed that the referees could have called that a catch in real time. 
The debate everywhere is about how it was ruled a catch after the replay. Don't kid yourself.

No it isn't. In real time it's looks to be moving everywhere. If I was the ref I would have called incomplete. Of course you may not like my opinion. That's is fine. No reason to get upset. If I thought the replay should have overturned it I would have titled thread "How can they not overturn that call".

The call on the field was going to stand, whether they ruled it a catch or an incompletion.
I agree with this which is why I'm always hesitant to say that the officials should rule it a TD and then let replay decide. The threshold for overturning a play is too high for that to be the default position on the field.
Honestly I've got no clue how they can rule that a catch in real time. It doesn't look remotely clean. I think the referee just said "screw it, I'll call it a catch and let someone else take a closer look."

That definitely was not a catch. Bengals got screwed on that one. But I'm not complaining because the Broncos get to host a Steelers team possibly without Roethlisberger or Brown instead of a red hot Chiefs team.

He sees the receiver initially get two hands on the ball.
From that point forward, he gets three feet down, and then when he gets up after the flip, he has possession.
I can definitely understand how it was ruled a TD on the field.

I hate the stupid bobbling rules.
If the ball moves around in someone's hands a little bit... who cares? They still obviously caught the ball.
The only time "bobbling" should matter is if they are literally juggling the ball in the air.
That's just my opinion of course. I hate how they try to judge whether a player had possession or not by these little movements of the ball in someone's hand.

Anyone who says that was a catch needs their eyes checked and may also be retarded. I'm not a fan of either team and picked the Steelers to win, but that was a horrible call.

I think on TD plays, the refs are instructed to call it a TD if they aren't sure so that an automatic review will be done. Unfortunately it looks like the SEC replay officials work for the NFL also.

But control is the key to me. That's was by no means the definition of control.

Ball did bobble as he somersaulted. Incomplete pass

Lots of players when they stand up have possession. You are supposed to maintain possession through out the catch, and he has rolling it up and down his leg as he was going out of bounds. That's not possession.

I thought it was clearly not a catch. Was pretty surprised they upheld the TD. Think they got it wrong for sure.
Posted on 1/10/16 at 1:20 pm to kywildcatfanone
It looked to me like he finally got possession after the 2nd foot was down. But definitely not before then. They got it wrong.
