So let me get this right.. if it looks like a duck, quacks like a duck, flies like a duck and poops out duck poop it's a genetically modified kitten..
I'm glad I understand the rules now..

I thought a receiver had to possess the ball and take a few steps for a completion anyway. Bang-bang plays are not long enough for a possession so what's new here unless the refs want clarification.

Because the NFL has been trying for years to complicate a simple action (catching a football).
I'm gonna break every record they've got. I'm tellin' you right now. I don't know how I'm gonna do it, but it's goin' to get done.

the league needs to just keep their noses out of it, and rework the rules into simple terms that their incompetent refs can understand

Personally, I like it. If the offense is going to put points on the board, then they should be playing good offense to do so IMO. Everybody knows that there is a certain "rules creep" phenomenon that has made it a lot harder to stop offenses from scoring. Why not try dialing it back just a hair to see what happens? The idea that an NFL catch does not involve using the ground, end of story, period sounds like it should be an accurate statement.

i think everyone can agree that there will have to be a rules revision at some point to clarify things

they will also be watching Centers for false starts more closely.
