He had possession of that ball for like a second, he never really had it period in the field of play and was established as a runner. What is the difference in that play and the Eifert play two weeks ago ?
Like I said in the Eifert debate they have to clean this up.
And furthermore on the catch early in the Bills/Bengals game by the Bills WR that ball was clearly trapped against the ground ! His hands were on the side of the ball !!
We have replay how do the refs keep screwing this up. The official in the booth for the broadcast even said it was clearly a trap.
What gives with the refs this year ???
Because... He didnt go to the ground. He was determined to have possesion in the endzone before he lost it. catching a ball for a TD in the endzone all you have to do is have the ball and 2 feet down. TD.... after that it doesnt matter.
but when crossing the plane itself or becoming a runner into the endzone its a bit different.
eifert had made the catch so we thought but was he caught it the tackle began immediately. and he lost it going to the ground which he must maintain possesion while being tackled as he was going to the ground.
Point..
HOLD ON TO THE BALL... especially until after they raise their hands.
