Was it a catch?

I don't believe it was, but tough to overturn given the visual evidence

he had his forearms around it, but it definitely hit the ground, didnt appear to move though
idk, depends on how you interpret the rule i guess

I thought that the ball hit the ground and thats the reason that when the WR rolled over he was still trying to control it...
But what pissed me off more was the INT that Brees threw in the 3rd when targeting Colston on the sideline, the DB clearly pushed Colston out the way and picked it...shoulda been illegal contact or PI

I personally thought they would def. overturn it. It hit the ground. Considering it pretty much decided the game I thought they def would have.

The ball clearly touched the ground in the process of him making the catch. It's undeniable.

yes it was a catch. the rule now is that it can touch the ground if you have control of it

Nope we got screwed.

i agree. I still don't understand why we didn't immediately throw the challenge flag

Is it stp to say "the ruling on the field is confirmed". Is he not allowed to just say "the replay is inconclusive, so the ruling on the field stands"?
It looked like the ball shifted, but it was hardly conclusive. If the ref had called it incomplete, it was inconclusive to overturn and call it a catch.

Based of of the play last year with megaton Calvin Johnson. the play should have been incomplete. Home cooking all over that.

Looked like it slipped through his hands to me. It definitely moved but you could argue his hands were under the ball. But when it moved, his wrists looked like they were holding it in place. Could go either way.

I thought there was obvious evidence, especially the end zone view, that showed that the ball went through his forearms. Granted, 4 turnovers are hard to overcome on the road, but the officiating was terribly one sided.
Colston was certainly interfere with on the Int, the 3rd down was clearly not a catch, and then there was the absolutely awful personal foul called against Jenkins.
After the officiating last week and this week, it certainly gives the impression that the NFL was determined not to let the Saints run away with the division too early.

I thought that seeing the ball clearly touch the ground from the front, plus seeing it clearly move around in there on the reverse angle, and him not having control of the ball as he rolled over on his back is pretty convincing that it wasn't a catch. I could live with "inconclusive so the play stands" but to "confirm" the catch is insane to me. I know it's semantics and doesn't change the outcome but that indicates to me that the ref had his head up his arse.
