not the TV guys never get stuff wrong, but its laughable that everyone here is an expert, and Collinsworth, who basically researches this stuff full time (and isn't a dumb guy in general), had no idea on either of those calls live

if you've been watching these calls all year, both of those rulings went against the established precedent set all year, NFL is just making up the rules as it goes along based on what it caught flack on last week

Compare the Ertz catch with the Jesse James catch. It isn't close. Ertz takes three steps and dives for the end zone. He is a runner there. Look, I get it, it is obviously NOT clear cut if Collinsworth sees it differently -- he watches more football than I do. But being as objective as I can be, this is not a call similar to the James one or the Dez Bryant one. People keep saying they "called it the opposite way all year" and I just want to see some proof of that because I don't think it is true.

yes, the NFL is fucked because fans can't even determine what a catch is.

the fact that people are arguing over that play is a bad sign, at least imo.

I think both are catches, but the Dez catch could be argued that was just falling down.

The Ertz catch was 10000% a catch. Like, it's not close.

Both probably not touchdowns under the rules (first definitely not).

Twist: the rules are kind of stupid in this case, so they decided to ignore them today.

Eh. Same thing judges do. TEH MAJESTY OF THE LAW, ruling on FAIRNESS.

I don’t get how the second was not a touchdown. He had control already, took two steps and tried to jump into the end zone. He had full control until he hit the ground, at which point it was already a touch down.

First one was a lot harder, and is a perfect example of why the rule sucks.

It looked like the ball hit the ground and popped up

I don’t get why that matters

All the “no catch” calls I’ve seen involve the TE not having control and he ball “moving” while he was still coming down

Ertz could have caught the ball and kneeled it (which tbh might have made more sense given the situation) but instead he jumped for the end zone

You don’t lose a catch by doing that...

Ertz had contol, but was going to the ground during all his steps and didn't survive the ground, NFL just decided they didn't want the to enforce their rule that situation,

Hawaii judge decided its a TD afterall

No offense, but I think you should have yours checked. And lack of balance, even if true, doesn't mean he didn't make a football move or that he didn't have control. You can be in control of the football and not have complete 100% straight up and down balance. He is slanting when he catches it because he is on a route and trying to avoid the defender. His upper body is pretty upright when he catches it.

I guess the refs and the reviewers and everyone ITT except you is wrong though.

This is a little more defensible but on the first one it is too close to overturn. What they were calling a bobble could have been a shift-- what the fuck is the difference? On slow motion the ball moves -- I mean it would be dumb to overturn that because of a small movement. But then again, the NFL...

I think they got both right. Has the NFL ever made a rule on what they consider control? I feel like I've seen other calls where they allow a slight bobble and still consider it control.

The second one I don't think is particularly close. He took three steps and leapt toward the end zone. People try to compare it to the Jesse James play, but I don't think it's similar.

what do you have to do to be established as a runner and for "going to the ground" to no longer be operative?

At one point it was "make a football move", since I haven't heard that phrase used in years, it seems like they took that out around the time they instituted the "survive the ground" standard

As I watched that play, at no point in the catch/run was Ertz's balance not going to the ground, so its not apparent to me why he didn't need to survive the ground all the way through

Both the Calvin Johnson and Dez Bryant play involved taking steps, so that doesn't seem to be what makes you a runner

fwiw, I thought there were a number of plays in the first half where in the regular season they would have thrown a pass interference, and they just let it go

all in all, the game probably flowed better the way they called it

it just seems off to call a game one way in the regular season, then change how you call it for a championship game

There were stores last week about how they throw substantially fewer pi flags in the Superbowl. Can't remember the numbers but they definitely call it differently vs. regular season.

Yes, Bill Barnwell pointed this out in his SB preview. Apparently the average NFL game has a little less than one per game. The average post-season game also has a little less than one per game. But in the SB it drops to like half that.

Little doubt in my mind that both calls would have been reversed in the regular season.

People saying he "made a football move" or whatever in taking a few steps while lunging toward the ground haven't been watching football the last few seasons. "Surviving the ground" has trumped all up until the Super Bowl.

I don't think the fact that this was near the end zone makes any difference in the way the rules have been applied. If he was in the middle of the end zone when he caught it and the same thing happened, it wouldn't have been a catch either.

Yes, but the surviving the ground thing only applies if he hasn't become a runner. You can't just say he had to survive the ground because he fell to the ground.

Link to a similar play that hasn't been called a td? He ran 5 fucking yards over 3 steps.

Difference with Dez catch is he wasn't running with control while he caught the ball like Ertz. Ertz caught it while running and continued running while diving into the endzone. He was in control of his steps the entire time and the dive towards end zone was intentional and controlled.

Dez was way in the air, then landed on his feet while going towards the end zone and never ran with the ball. He didn't have control of his body like Ertz.

I'll agree that its a grey area

after seeing the James catch, I assumed that the same rule was in effect until being told by the ref that it wasn't

I am an Eagles fan, so I see it differently. I think he takes a couple steps, gets hit in the legs and simultaneously dives for the end zone. I don't think he was going down as soon as he catches it-- nobody was on him or hit him.

i think he has balance. i don't think he has enough balance to say with 100% certainty that he won't fall down at any point during that run, but that can't possibly be the standard, and it certainly can't be the standard when he's taking steps, making a football move, and then gets hit and dives for the endzone.

ok, we can disagree on whether or not he his balance, I don't think he's so far off of balance that its impossible that he might regain his balance (though, considering his size and the body angle he was at, I don't he was, but whatever)

as for what the standard could possible be ...

I agree that that shouldn't be the standard,

but the James play shows that making a football move or diving for the endzone doesn't change the standard, the Bryant play showed getting hit or diving for the endzone didn't change the standard, the Johnson play showed that taking steps didn't change the standard

I guess the concurrency of all three does?

----------

upon reflection, I can accept that there is a grey area where you become a runner, and they determined he was a runner ...

I think if the end zone isn't there he gets hit and maybe goes down, maybe not. He dives because the end zone is there. If you are arguing balance when he catches the ball, then you already lost. There is just too much you have to argue to say it wasn't a TD.

And on top of that there's supposed to be "clear and obvious evidence” to overturn the call on the field.

So even if these guys are right that it wasn't a catch (they're not), they'd have to argue that the video was "clear and obvious evidence" to say it was a bad decision.

The video isn't anywhere close to meeting that standard.

The Bryant call makes the same argument about balance, (ie he dives, so you have no idea whether he was off balance or not [he obviously was, but following your logic, that's not something you can take into account])

The Bryant non-catch was a shit call, but it is also different from the Ertz catch. Bryant goes up, is hit immediately and is falling from the get-go. I just don't think the same thing can be said of the Ertz catch. Ertz pushes off and launches into the endzone. Bryant falls to the ground.

We discussed this. He is not going to the ground. He catches and runs and makes a decision to dive into the end zone while being hit. You made the argument that he is off-balance when he catches the ball, which is, just, like your opinion man but it obviously can't form the basis for overturning a called TD on the field.

I don't think Ertz is going to the ground. At the very least, you can't conclude that with any certainty.

I think part of the issue is that you are viewing it from the non-catch lens, whereas I am viewing it from the catch lens. The Ertz play skews even more towards catch, regardless of whether you think any of them are catches or not.

So to me, I see the Ertz catch as -- how could anyone think that's not a catch, and then I see the other examples you poasted and want someone to explain to me why those aren't catches, not the other way around.

WHY? I just showed you he was not falling down when he caught the ball. That is the issue. You keep changing the goalpost. The issue is-- did he turn into a runner. He caught the ball and at :29 you can clearly see he is upright and running with the ball. Even at :34 he still doesn't look like he is falling down, but it doesn't matter.

Obviously I'm biased, but I didn't think these were that hard to call as TDs.

On the Clement one, he 1) caught the ball in the end zone and 2) took two steps with control of the ball BEFORE 3) he readjusted the ball and never lost "control" of it as the NFL defines control. Even if he had lost control I think it was a TD after 1 and 2 happened and it didn't matter what he did after that. Could have spiked it and it'd still be a TD.

On the Ertz one, it was much more clear I thought. He caught it at the 6, took 2-3 steps and then lunged forward with the ball. He became a runner before he reached the end zone so the ball only had to cross the plane for it to be a TD by rule.

the ertz play, after multiple replays, i thought was properly ruled a td. it would make no sense to give a rb or qb a td just for breaking the plane on a dive or sneak and not rule the ertz play a touchdown.

the clement catch -- the way the league has been calling things this season, i'm with collingsworth. every other game this season the NFL has been ruling that incomplete because of the movement of the football. and i think all collingsworth was pointing out was the inconsistency. he's a logical guy and a tremendously quick analyst (i never understood all the hate he gets, other than he doesn't sugarcoat his opinions).

i'm glad they ruled it a catch, but collingsworth's point was completely valid.
