Should have been overruled. If the ball doesn't hit the ground where is the point of the football? Obviously, we ought to be able to see the tip of the football if there is air under it. Bad call could have cost the Bengals season.

Wasn't indisputable to overturn the call on the field.

That fricker put his hands on the ball when the ball was touching the ground. Home cooking call.

that is clear as day using the ground to trap the ball, therefore its incomplete

but the refs have their orders who to help win, they just cant get the desired outcome 100% of the time, even when they cheat

It was incomplete.

But Joe/Ja’Marr/McPherson overcame.

I have no rooting interest, but Tannehill just sucks, and Vrabel is a bonehead. If I'm the Titans DC or a defensive player. I'm royally pissed at them.
I have a feeling it's the Bills year. They were one of the betting favorites at start of year and Allen has been hot.
Bengals and SF are seriously flawed and have been the fortunate recipient of gifts.

Yes I thought once the nose of the football touched the ground it was dead, and it clearly did.

Ruling is very clear. Ball can touch the ground if first caught and controlled at any time before said touch. He did clearly have it in the air an instant before it touched the ground. Was very close but I think by letter of law the call was correct. Glad the shitty Titans more than returned the favor a little later. Go Bengals

Only issue I had with it was the replay appeared to show his right hand moving on the ball as it was touching the ground. Either way, it was a tough call to make and the refs were going to catch hell regardless of which way the call went.

Eta: watched the replay again without beer induced vision and it doesn't look like his hand was moving on the ball. Ball was moving with his hand.

I didn't see the ball move in his hands at all when it touched the ground. That's all they needed for the call to stand. However, if it had been called incomplete, I think that call would have stood as well.

It's just one of those too close to get it wrong calls.

And the commentators kept saying that it should have been an INT bc the “ball didn’t move”, as if the sheer physics of trapping the ball was completely foreign to them. It was pretty infuriating. Assholes.
