re: NFL completion rule needs to be changed

Pereira's explanation of Odell's non catch is such bullshite. How can you sit there and say "must have control of the ball long enough to turn into a runner. What's that mean? Turn upfield, brace yourself for contact, you have to have the period of time...". There was a play last night where a Cardinals player caught the ball on an underneath crossing route, turned up field and took two steps, was hit from behind and fumbled and ball was scooped up by Seahawks defender. Did he not just do what Pereira's explanation required? Why do they need to make this so difficult?

Yet, a QB or running back can leap over a pile and get hit and fumble but as long as the tip of the ball touches the front plane of the goal line, it's a TD? A WR has to catch the ball, order dinner, eat, tip the motherfricker, then hand the ball back to the official and it still may not be a "catch".
