Reid Interception...looked like a completed pass

Great play by Reid, but I was at a bar and didn't hear the argument against the Bama guy coming down with it? I thought he had possession and had a knee down before the ball was stripped away. I thought the same thing on all the angles I saw.
Just wondering what the rationale was for it (it was reviewed so what exactly was said?) to be an Int. and not a completed pass.

Ball was clearly coming out as he hit the ground. Rule says the receiver has to control it all the way down....
ETA - guy two posts down from here makes a great point too - call was 'confirmed' by replay.

The ball was moving when the receiver hit the ground.

the call was confirmed on replay (not just stands) so I feel good about it.

ok I can buy that I guess, but I thought at the best it was split possession when they hit the ground, and that would lead to a catch. I thought Reid grabbed it after both were on the ground?

guess you were too drunk by this point. it was 100% coming out of his hands before his shoulder hit the ground.

he hit flat on his back. how in the hell would one say his knee was down first?
elbow maybe, but not close to having a knee down. try to fall flat on your back and put your knee down first. pretty hard to do.

I agree with this, but I'm glad the call on the field was INT. I don't think the replay official overturns the call on the field either way.

you can see the ball being pulled out on the way down, the tip of the ball was coming out of the Bama guys hand and when he hit the ground Reid was able to get total possession....LSU ball!! I could see how it could go either way but I'm glad it went the way it did.

and there was absolutely no way that the official saw that little ball movement while it was running live. however, i'm glad that his guess was an interception.

you could be right, but I doubt it.
the play did not STAND, it was CONFIRMED.
the receiver must maintain possession to the ground..not when the knee hits.

I'm sure you can find it on youtube and watch it again....
Also, check out the actual rules on 'simultaneous catch'...

fair enough I guess I just meant I thought he was down. Ok I'm good with this; I may disagree but it was a great play regardless

Either way, the call was 'confirmed', as opposed to 'stands', which means there was conclusive video evidence for an interception. Call on the field wouldn't have mattered.....

It was very clear and obvious that he did not have control of the ball, it was twisting out of his hands as he fell, Reid wanted the ball more, when they came up, Reid was in control of the ball, that is an int. it was a great def. play by a player that wanted the ball more than the receiver.. plain and simple, football 101

Buckeye, take a look at the picture a couple of posts above....if this isn't clear enough for you, nothing will be....

Eric Reid gets a helluva a lot of credit for recognizing what was happening as the play unfolded. Otherwise, that was a TD easily - bad pass or not.
