Not as important, and I’m a Saints fan, but that was the worst overturn of a call I can remember. That replay guy should lose his job. It was that egregious.



I don't think the overturn was necessarily that egregious, it's the goddamn rule that is that egregious. It's probably the worst rule in football and it needs to be fricking changed. That shite was a catch and any rule that allows any interpretation to show otherwise is asinine.

It didn't look like a coach to me

That’s fair, but are they not allowed to use a tad bit of common sense? And can’t we blame both the rule writers and the interpreters on this one?

Sorry to hear of his struggles and hope he is eventully ok. That being said, yes the rule needs to be changed and I am officially calling it the "Zack Miller Rule" in honor of ZM. The must complete the catch is awful considering all the QB or RB (like Ingram did yesterday), is break the plane of the goal line for it to be a TD.

100% they didnt rule it incomplete because he let go of the ball. Thats just what fricking blandino said. They ruled that the nose of the ball touched the ground while it was loose initially. Before the roll over. 90% of the controversy from these reviews comes from the speculation of the broadcast team being taken as gospel.
