Had possession and two feet in bounds before getting hit. Looked like a catch to me. Will surely cause a stir whether it was a catch or not.

he got hit before the 2nd foot was down i believe. The explanation was absolute shite though because that rule shouldn't apply to that play

He had possession before the hit, then lost the ball out of bounds. Should've been a catch first.

He had 3 feet down before getting hit. Either way its still incomplete because of the way the stupid rule is written.

He had full possession and at least 2 feet down before being touched. Getting hit and going to the ground rules should not have applied.

Absolutely screwed.

eta: But don't worry. The replacement refs definitely won't have an effect on any game! Everyone said so!

You're not going to hear about it because it favored the Superbowl Champion NY Giants and the NFL doesn't want to pay the real refs.

It doesn't matter to me. Looked like a catch, I understand why it wasn't called. Like I said though, it doesn't matter either way because it will cause a stir.

The regular refs would have made the same call. I think it should have been a catch, most people think that should be considered a catch, but the refs consistently seem to call it a non-catch.

It does matter.

They had to find irrefutable evidence on the call they made. That shouldn't have been overturned.

Mike Pierra said to the letter of the law it should be called an incomplete pass. I think they made the right call according to the rule, but in real life it should have been a catch.

He had possession, had an act, and there was no irrefutable evidence to overturn the rule of a catch on the field.
