Its also true that a RB only has to break the plane. What they got wrong was that as soon as Eifert caught the ball, turned, and extended it over the goal line, he was making a "football move" with the ball and at that point became a runner. It was incorrectly ruled incomplete.

I can't get over it.  We would have been up 28-0 if not for that and the endzone pick.

Not to mention Marvin Lewis decided to not use any timeouts when we are at midfield with the ball before halftime.

Oh my god I am so pissed off

I still think that kicking a FG would have been the right play call. Would have put the team up 17-0.

I'm very, VERY happy with the win, but this kind of stupidity will not survive a good team in the playoffs.  This HAS to stop.  How can he STILL not know how to manage the clock?

I was probably more pissed that the refs let Steve Smith get away with OPI on the TD that gave them the 24-21 lead. That was pretty obvious. But we won so all is good.

I don't know what a catch is these days.  Eifert literally took 5 steps with possession and extended over the goal line.  Yes, he lost posession before hitting the ground but how many steps are enough?
