Was there ever an explanation given after the game? Were Pereira and Mike Carey asked about this? Clete Blakeman ever say anything? I've seen little to nothing about this since the game ended.

Replay officials are terrible, huge moment in the game.

You mean the obvious incompletion where the ball hits the ground, moves and then he regains control?

Some people really are blind.

Me too. Was there not enough to overturn? I was confused about this for most of the game.

Horrible call that set up a game changing play. We won't hear any official explanation b/c there isn't one and it won't go along with the Manning story.

Looked like a catch to me.

The catch/no catch rule in the NFL is laughable.

Also, what's your opinion on the PI call on Norman in the endzone?

Same, but I've given up trying to guess or reason on catch rulings and reviews.

There is nothing "obvious" about it.

I thought it hit the ground before he rolled over

If it was called a catch on the field, it would have stood

Mike Carey


He declared it would be overturned and ruled a catch. He's consistently wrong though. It's crazy how often he's wrong.

There is a point where he goes to the ground and it looks like the ball MIGHT make contact with the ground. At that point the ball does come loose from his grasp for a second. My guess is that they couldn't confirm that the ball didn't hit the ground...therefore the call stands.

Defensive holding. It was justified. He held him twice in the route.

He secured the ball with one hand toward the bottom and back of the football as he went to the ground. The front of the ball hits the ground and starts to move as he lands and rolls. That's why he's trying to re-secure the football next to his hip.

Yes, there is. The ball is bobbled, he regains control going to the grown, it hits the ground and then moves in his grip.

The rule is that if the ball hits the ground and moves in any way, it is an incomplete pass. It was pretty straight forward.

Only people thinking there is some huge controversy will ignore it, but hey, let's not enforce the rules because the team you support was affected negatively by applying them.

No indisputable video evidence to indicate that the tip of the ball did not touch the ground when he first went down. Had they called it a completion on the field, they would not have overturned it either.
