Wild Card Weekend Game Thread

Just curious why that scrum didn't result in a flag when they were calling some pretty ticky tack unsportsmanlike like earlier.

 

[E5 Yaz]

DeCastro was throwing leg kicks to the helmet. No flag and Simms brags about the play

Nantz and Simms were the parade commentators in The Emperor's New Clothes

 

[Soxy]

I have no idea what a catch is.

 

[Van Everyman]

Damn

 

[Jnai]

That is some matrix shit.

 

[Mugsy's Jock]

Martavis Bryant is going to be a handful.

 

[staz]

Maah-viiin... Maah-viin...

 

[PedroKsBambino]

I actually think that is somehow a catch.

 

[GeorgeCostanza]

That was a pretty special catch

 

[nothumb]

ball's moving after he gets his feet down, i don't think he got two feet in with control.

 

[Dogman]

Not a catch. Didn't have possession and then both feet.

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

That's a crazy catch.

 

[bankshot1]

that was fucking amazing

 

[teddykgb]

This is perfect. I have no idea if that's a catch and the absurd rule in place only makes it harder to know.

 

[Mugsy's Jock]

Suspensions post game would be fine.

 

[canderson]

That isn't normal for a human body that large to do those things.

 

[pokey_reese]

That's one of the most unbelievable catches I have ever seen

 

[shawnrbu]

I can't see Old Manning keeping up with Big Ben in a shootout.

 

[Blue Monkey]

This gets over turned right? looks like he only had 1 foot down when he gained full control.

 

[Captaincoop]

How is that a catch? He was bobbling it all the way out of bounds.

 

[GeorgeCostanza]

ball's moving after he gets his feet down, i don't think he got two feet in with control.

I didn't notice any movement after he got the feet in. I say TD stands.

 

[Freddy Linn]

Blandino's on the case.

 

[ObstructedView]

Wait - that catch can only happen against the Pats!

 

[( . ) ( . ) and (_!_)]

Now some key player on Pitt is going to get hurt or get himself suspended because Denver

 

[PedroKsBambino]

Not a catch. Didn't have possession and then both feet.

Looked like he did, actually, on the second grasp with ball wedged firmly against his leg.

 

[GeorgeCostanza]

How is that a catch? He was bobbling it all the way out of bounds.

Once it was against his ass/leg he had full control all the way I thought.

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

That was great, but can't be a catch based on the standards the league has set, unfortunately.

 

[PC Drunken Friar]

It was moving, but if they say his leg was acting like a second hand and was helping to transfer control...

 

[Blue Monkey]

wow ok.

 

[E5 Yaz]

Ahh, the beauty of robot officials

 

[Captaincoop]

Once it was against his ass/leg he had full control all the way I thought.

I just don't understand the rule. Great play no matter what.

 

[Oppo]

Next NE loss, I'm done with this shitty league

 

[PC Drunken Friar]

That's an.... Interesting play call

 

[axx]

Rapey could have run the 2PC in

 

[patinorange]

It really was a great catch. Wow.

 

[NJ_Sox_Fan]

KC's offense consists of a mediocre QB, good TE, and some decent RBs. Pats stop the run and they win.

I'm actually more concerned about the KC defense/special teams than I am about Alex Smith and Maclin/Kelce.

 

[nothumb]

i don't really care either way from a rules or rooting interest standpoint, but that was a sick fucking play by bryant.

 

[Soxy]

I mean, by the time he gains complete control he only touches one foot in. Maybe no feet. But Dez Bryant and Calvin Johnson didn't have control? Okay.

This is a dumb rule.

 

[PedroKsBambino]

That was great, but can't be a catch based on the standards the league has set, unfortunately.

Why do you say that? He maintained possession when he hit the ground, which is usually where it gets tricky.

 

[GeorgeCostanza]

I just don't understand the rule. Great play no matter what.

I can't argue with that.

 

[Captaincoop]

Next NE loss, I'm done with this shitty league

So you're just going to quit in the middle of next season?

 

[BoredViewer]

I don't know. In my world that didn't feel like possession until he got the second hand on it... and he was out of bounds, then.

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

What are people seeing? I thought he controlled it with one hand (with a leg assist for part) the whole way. You don't need two hands for a catch.

 

[Oppo]

So you're just going to quit in the middle of next season?

Hope so

 

[GeorgeCostanza]

Why go for 2 when the XP puts you up 16?

 

[steveluck7]

At first i didn't realize that he took 3 steps in bounds. it looked like he gained control between steps 1 and 2

 

[PedroKsBambino]

Why go for 2 when the XP puts you up 16?

Would have made it a three-possession lead.

 

[axx]

Oh no it's raining again. The Bengals have no chance coming back if it's going to continue to rain.

 

[teddykgb]

I think it's just perfect absurdity. He somehow traps the ball against his own ass. Good luck navigating the rule.

 

[GeorgeCostanza]

What are people seeing? I thought he controlled it with one hand (with a leg assist for part) the whole way. You don't need two hands for a catch.

I saw it same way you did. Great catch. Love how Simms and Nantz are dissecting what went through his mind while I'm fairly certain it was just athletic reflex in trying to secure the ball.
