Super Bowl LII thread

Lol, football is so stupid.

 

[rrlbees]

He’s a RB at that point. TD. Took 3 steps after catch.

 

[HOFCeluck]

I don’t know what a catch is

 

[ForCuseSake]

He made a football move with 3 steps and gets tackled.

Gotta be a catch

 

[JeremyCuse]

Why do these guys keep diving theres no need

 

[Alsacs]

That has to be a TD.

 

[orangenauburn]

He was a runner he had like three steps before dive

 

[OrangeDW]

He caught it and ran the last 5 yards. How would he not be a “runner” under this rule?

 

[OttoinGrotto]

Got a feeling they're going to make a rule up on the fly here.

 

[orangehomer]

chris collinsworth needs to stop it, if that isn't a TD than what is

all that is supposed to matter is breaking the plane

 

[OrangeXtreme]

He's a runner

 

[rrlbees]

He’s a RB at that point. TD. Took 3 steps after catch.

Good call Bees

 

[jncuse]

He was a runner. He caught the ball at the 5 for...

 

[Eric15]

We have been so insanely spoiled by the last few Super Bowls and NCAA title games.

 

[OrangeXtreme]

2:21 is too much time.

IF you are considered a runner (which he was). Not so if you are "in the process of making the catch"

 

[Alsacs]

Let’s go finish this Pats.
TD and you win.

 

[OrangeDW]

Well, how quickly the Pats get their TD here will decide whether it’s over or whether the Eagles have time to come back and get a FG.

 

[longislandcuse]

Not for nothing, how do you not call DPI there?

 

[ForCuseSake]

Holy PI on the 2 pt conversion.

Awful blown call

 

[Cusefan0307]

Too much time left.

 

[OburgOrange]

Good call Bees

he took 2 steps after the catch

 

[NineOneSeven]

Omg you had that 2 pt play... Ugh

That's game

 

[OttoinGrotto]

I don't even feel like the "runner" thing mattered there, even though that's how it was called.

He had control the whole time the ball was on the ground. It popped up off his pads while Ertz was on his back. He cleanly caught it before it touched the ground again. To me that's a catch.

 

[longislandcuse]

Of course.

he took 2 steps after the catch

Unfortunately, you could be an NFL Rules Expert. Doesn't matter this year.
