Not a Saints fan but what a terrible rule and call.
If you want to call that a pass, fine, call it a pass. But it was a backwards pass.
Imagine if all the rules were "I know that is not what I did but that is what I wanted to do!"

Listening to NFL refs still defending the call is mind numbing

I heard them explain the rule and I even read the rule. It looks like the proper call based on the rule, dumb as it is.
However, Ive never ever in the almost 50 years I've been watching football seen this applied in this way.
I've seen that play 100 times and 100 times it's been a fumble. Everyone watching it thought it was a fumble because it was a fumble.
You know a catch when you see it and you know a fumble when you see it.

Got called against LaTech this week.

Yeah, now the N.F.L. is saying it's when he starts his throwing motion... not just arm moving forward. Goff was hit before his arm was moving forward.
Absurd.

All I saw was one clip of the play and the on air ref explaining it. I would pull my hair out if I listened to a bunch of people defending it. The NFL can be so infuriating at times.

This. It's on par with the Dez Bryant no catch against Green bay in the playoffs. At some point you have to use common sense when you apply the rule. By the rule, Dez could have literally stumbled across the ENTIRE FOOTBALL FIELD but it wouldn't have been a catch because he was stumbling.
The wild thing about this one is that like you say, it happens all the time. But for some reason now they want to interpret it in a different way.
"We are picking up this pass interference flag because even thought he defender committed pass interference, we could tell that he didn't want to so it's not pass interference." GTFO

Aaron Brooks threw a backwards pass, arm moving forward and it was a fumble. I don’t know how there’s anyway to distinguish a play like that from the one on Sunday. It’s total BS

Since I quit watching the NFL, I commented on this earlier without watching it. One of the main reasons I quit watching the NFL is because it is so blatantly rigged.
After watching the replays of this play, I can't help but laugh.
So basically the game was rigged for DET to win. This play was the "tell" early in the game. This would have made it a tie game it what seemed, at the time, to be a defensive struggle. Final score dictates it wasn't but again, you have to view the reason given in the moment to fix the game.
So what the NFL is doing now is "intent", eh? Well, I feel sorry for all of you that keep watching. This "intent" crap is going to be used to rig a lot of games going forward.
"You see, Mahomes didn't intend to throw the interception, so we are ruling this play dead and he gets a redo".
Seems like there was a play a few years ago where the Chiefs got an entire down redo as well, so this isn't as far fetched as you would imagine.
Sound insane? Yeah, it's coming.
"It's all real to me, dammit!"
Downvote away suckers

Man at first I thought maybe this thread would be Saints fans upset about something that is borderline but after seeing it I can't fricking believe they made this ruling and have people defending it with a straight face. As others have said, if its a pass its a backwards pass. Ridiculous ruling and Saints fans are 100% justified in being pissed off.

Yes, the majority of the rules are “interpretations”, another word for non existent since a “rule” is anything but malleable. I don’t pull for any team and I more or less surf the games until I find a drive or situation I want to see but to have a rooting interest in this farce is pointless IMO

You can rest assured if Saints QB was the passer and Detroit scored a TD it would have been rulled a fumble. That’s how this business works. Did you know that ole Roger has it scripted for Detroit going to its first Super Bowl this year?

How about the free FG kick after a fair catch. Rarely see that, if ever.

Disconcerting signals
quote:
It's a legit call - it's when the defense yells out the snap call to induce a false start or premature snap.
If THAT is the reason for the call, then sure I totally agree with you. However I have personally witnessed UGA get absolutely turbo fricked with this call not once but TWICE, in a situation that I've never seen anywhere else either before or since.
1) A linebacker ran towards the line as LBs do pre-snap all the time. The ball hadn't been snapped so he stopped. We were penalized because the ref interpreted this as our guy stomping his foot, thereby "simulating the snap"
2) Not wanting to let the defense have all the fun, our QB was actually called for disconcerting signals (may have bene last year actually, I think gunner was at QB) for clapping but not snapping. You know how QBs will hand signal or clap dozens of times during a game but not actually snape the ball yet? Yeah, like that. But this one was a penalty.

This is retarded.

Insults the intelligence to anyone listening to this bullshite. Stupidity is prevalent in the NFL these days.
