[TouchMoney26]

Can somebody tell me how that call was not upheld?

 

[Always Correct]

His foot landed out of bounds.

Clear and definitive rule. Amazing catch/effort but he his toe and heel came down almost simultaneously which is ruled incomplete. Yes his toe hit first but the heel came down instantly after which the rule states would be an incompletion.

Supposedly the rule is basically the toe first only matters if you’re doing a toe drag catch.

That rule is stupid as ****

Unfortunately on that play the entire foot has to be in. If it was a tip toe situation it would have been good but since his heel was on the line it's out of bounds

 

[Mnhurricane]

They did not deem it a toe tap they deemed it to be a step and his heel was out. Good call just gutting after such a phenomenal effort

I disagree, it was pretty clear his toe hit first. But I guess that only matters if it’s a toe drag catch?

Amazing catch though

Yes - the way the commentator official explained it, in order for it to count the receiver would have to make an intentional/obvious effort to tap/drag his toe in bounds rather than coming down on his foot with his toe just happening to be the first point of contact.

Yes, that is correct. Though I was getting frustrated with the studio ref, he did a really good job of explaining that rule. Unfortunate that it was just an amazing effort and not an amazing catch

Agreed, that’s how I understood it as well. I think it’s a horribly stupid rule.

I wonder if the same applies to a defensive player if they catch an INT?

 

[FuriousStyles]

His foot landed out of bounds.

I swear that catch was same scenario as USF game where Beck was aiming for WR behind him Malachi went baby Jesus mode thinking it was just a bad throw.. In USF it ended up an INT I think.. This should of been a catch.

 

[CTCanes]

Sick catch.

 

[IRememberSchnelly]

A magnificent catch, just didn't quite get his foot down in bounds. A herculean effort.

And unfortunately in the same motion, the heel came down out of bounds. Had he picked his foot up off the ground after that shot right there, it's a catch.

Still amazing to even do what he did and hold onto it.. He's the **** truth

 

[TouchMoney26]

messed up rule esp with the call being called a catch! whatever F those refs

When watching video you can clearly see that the rest of his foot came down out of bounds. We can debate whether the rule makes sense/should be changed but clearly the correct call was made based on the rule about needing to drag your toes.

Still don't think he has dropped 1 pass this year. Amazing.
