Olave Overturn Catch

Has there been any chatter on this? I searched the interwebs and I couldn’t find anything. Clearly no angle shown on TV provided indisputable evidence and the TV crew including the rules guy seemed shocked.
Ended up not meaning much but man that seemed bad.

Sucks but, it is what it is.
Refs are going to blow calls and make bone headed decisions, like death and taxes.

I agree but the point of replay is to fix blown calls not make blown calls.

Fewest angles shown on replay ever.
Where were they shown?

The replay calls have gotten so bad. I’m convinced it has to do with gambling lines or some other kind of motivation. There is no oversight or accountability for these calls.

They showed a few and all of the ones they showed had nothing close to conclusive. The TV crew including the rules guys were extremely confident it would stand. Very strange.

Well then what’s the point of replay??

Apparently someone from the Dome posted that an angle showed the ball hitting the ground and for some reason TV was never shown that angle. I have to assume that's what happened because it 100% looked like a catch from what we were shown.

Nothing if Refs are looking at the replay.
They will make the same bone headed decision that whey make watching to live.

I agree here. Refs on field should NOT be the ones to decide the outcome of the replay bc of their bias for having made the call. That should come from NFL main office who should be well staffed to handle.

The problem is the NFL has a problem with officiating and it's not just on the field. To make matters worse, the NFL refuses to ever admit they have a problem anywhere because in the name of protecting the brand they are willing to destroy it's credibility.
That why I say it is what it is. I see no desire by the NFL to correct the problem as it's only gotten worse over the last 5 - 10 years.

Not a single replay showed anything remotely definitive. Odd overturn given that.

Unless the officials had a camera angle not shown on TV, the ruling was way too egregiously bad to just say "oh well, it happens". There was not a single angle shown on TV that even suggested it wasn't a catch. Then you have to consider it was ruled on the field to be a catch...meaning there had to be indisputable evidence to overturn the call. At bare minimum, at least from what the audience could see, there was no indisputable evidence.

What do you suggest fans do about it on a Monday morning?
Posted on 9/8/25 at 9:07 am to STEVED00
Small market team that is expected to be bad lost to another small market team that is expected to be bad. There may have been a bad officiating overturn, or an angle the public did not see. But because of the first sentence, do not expect any chatter.

Honestly I would hope a reporter would ask Coach Moore about it in a PC to get his take. That could at least address the claim that there was a mystery angle that showed it was a drop.

Heard the angle showed in the dome was pretty clear it hit the ground. Weird they didn’t show us that on tv

That overturn cost them 4 seconds and 1 yard. Could have been huge, but if they still spike the ball once they get inside the redzone it may have had no effect. But maybe those extra 4 seconds give them more comfort to run a quick play on 1st instead of "wasting" a down there.
Pulled up the video and the refs stopped the game right as the team was getting set to snap the ball at the ARI 48 at the 1:31 mark. Assume another 2 seconds before the ball is snapped, 1:29.
After the overturn, the Saints had the ball at the ARI 49 with 1:25 left in the game.
