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 |

Date: February 5th, 2018 11:30 AM Author: Motley Bonkers Son Of Senegal Set 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.

Date: February 4th, 2018 10:44 PM Author: Histrionic area 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. |

|
Date: February 4th, 2018 10:48 PM Author: Histrionic area 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... |

|
Date: February 5th, 2018 6:53 AM Author: spectacular dull hospital stain No it wasn't, James had complete control, turned and extended the ball
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 |
|
Date: February 5th, 2018 9:51 AM Author: Histrionic area You have to be a MAF steelers fan to think that was the same play
James took no steps and just twisted
Ertz caught the ball and ran a few steps before diving
Perhaps they were both catches, but they were completely different |

|
Date: February 5th, 2018 12:25 PM Author: emerald domesticated wrinkle LMAO. Everyone ITT except you thinks he had control of his body on those steps. Dude, go watch the video. I just did again and he was fully in control and had balance when he caught in and took those steps. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3882889&forum_id=2#35329173) |
|
Date: February 5th, 2018 12:31 PM Author: spectacular dull hospital stain I've seen it several times
we're allowed to disagree
I'm right though, because if you think he has his balance, your spatial intelligence isn't as good as if you realize he doesn't |
|
Date: February 5th, 2018 12:34 PM Author: emerald domesticated wrinkle 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. |
|
Date: February 5th, 2018 1:03 PM Author: spectacular dull hospital stain the precedent is that football move isn't relevant

Date: February 5th, 2018 10:41 AM Author: Motley Bonkers Son Of Senegal Set I watched the James play again last night to respond to this retarded argument and you are all fucking wrong!

i can compare this to wrestling. wrestling is very tough for casual and non-fans to appreciate, and one of the reasons is that, what constitutes a takedown or "control" is VERY tough to define in many situations, and i freely admit things like that are a drag on popularity. |

Date: February 5th, 2018 10:07 AM Author: Slate bawdyhouse newt 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. |

Date: February 5th, 2018 10:38 AM Author: spectacular dull hospital stain 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 |

|
Date: February 5th, 2018 11:48 AM Author: Well-lubricated Skinny Woman Party Of The First Part 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
prior to seeing the James catch, it wouldn't have occurred to me that the Ertz play wasn't a catch
after seeing the James catch, I assumed that the same rule was in effect until being told by the ref that it wasn't |
|
Date: February 5th, 2018 12:07 PM Author: Motley Bonkers Son Of Senegal Set 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. https://twitter.com/NFL/status/960347266459537409?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.si.com%2Fnfl%2F2018%2F02%2F04%2Fzach-ertz-touchdown-catch-philadelphia-eagles-super-bowl-lead |
|
Date: February 5th, 2018 12:11 PM Author: spectacular dull hospital stain we have a difference of opinion on that then, I think he's going to the ground before he gets hit in the legs,
or at least he hasn't established his balance, if you say "freeze", he's falling over |

when Ertz catches the ball and takes his steps, do you think he has his balance, or do you think it doesn't matter? |
|
Date: February 5th, 2018 12:35 PM Author: Vibrant yellow internal respiration 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. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3882889&forum_id=2#35329256) |
|
Date: February 5th, 2018 12:53 PM Author: spectacular dull hospital stain 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 ...
watching live, I expected that to come back, Collinsworth expected to come back, going on twitter after the game I saw several of the people whose opinions I respect expected to come back
|
|
Date: February 5th, 2018 12:42 PM Author: Motley Bonkers Son Of Senegal Set 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.

|
Date: February 5th, 2018 12:46 PM Author: Well-lubricated Skinny Woman Party Of The First Part 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. |
|
Date: February 5th, 2018 12:59 PM Author: spectacular dull hospital stain I think we're close to arguing this to death, (so lets keep going!)
he DOES actually go to the ground though
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]) |
|
Date: February 5th, 2018 1:07 PM Author: Motley Bonkers Son Of Senegal Set 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. BRyant https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xt5d9FoSXIA Ertz: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6cqhUvawoL0 |

He catches and runs and makes a decision to dive into the end zone while being hit.

Date: February 5th, 2018 5:40 PM Author: Vibrant yellow internal respiration 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. |

|
Date: February 5th, 2018 3:30 PM Author: honey-headed ape crotch 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. |

Date: February 5th, 2018 5:50 PM Author: hilarious irate stead 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. |
