I know what the rule book says is a catch, but I have no idea what it actually means at this point.
again....the key words are UNDISPUTED EVIDENCE.....forget everything that happened out of bounds. Two players on their rear ends out of bounds fighting for the football. Out of bounds means nothing.....The ref said the Seattle player had it in bounds.....To change that would have taken UNDISPUTED EVIDENCE, and there wasn't any.........and you want and need UNDISPUTED EVIDENCE. We can't have Las Vegas gamblers changing the calls because they go against the Las Vegas point spread. That seemed to be the problem in the 1980's when they tried replay and it was all done in New York or some place. It seemed the calls always went in favor of Las Vegas. One play was Boomer Esiason throwing a 35 yard TD pass, and New York replay said he was in the grasp, no TD. Announcer Joe Namath couldn't believe a 35 yard TD pass was changed to a sack and he said something is wrong with the game. ....I'm glad they got rid of that form of 1980's replay .....Undisputed Evidence is very much needed to keep replay out of the gamblers hands.
