***OFFICIAL AFC TITLE GAME pats @ COLTS ***

[SoloAJ]

a) Any excuse to see Caldwell's bugeyes, I love.....
b) I didn't see his heels touch the white line..and I don't THINK they did. he was on his toes...
c) That was a good ruling on the pushout..
d) he had control

TD.

This reminds me of a Lions playoff game where the play was VERY similar to this and they ruled it out of bounds despite a clear pushout...That was the last good thing I remember that could have happened to the Lions in a long time.

I am absolutely speechless right now. That is all for now. I'm in Ames with a bunch of my friends for a conference. This is sick.

He never would have come down in bounds.

[/ QUOTE ]watch the slow-mo replay they're showing right now...he DID GET HIS FIRST FOOT DOWN, and the second foot was on its way down when he was hit.

I haven't been keeping a tabs on the refs for the game, but that was a horrendous job on their part on that series.

[/ QUOTE ]why? YOu have read everyone's posts which have explained that faceguarding is indeed a PI penalty even if you don't touch the guy, right?

[/ QUOTE ]

From Mike Periera:

[ QUOTE ]
There is no such thing as face-guarding in the National Football League. It is legal to face-guard a receiver. In order to have pass interference you must have contact. Any act without contact is not considered a foul.

That was in 2001. My question is has the rule changed since then?

[/ QUOTE ]

Homer for some reason I believe that it was a penalty prior to 2000, then in 2000 it became contact. But that is from a bad memory.

Assasani,

The penalty that pissed me off was the infraction penalty. It was a false start clearly. As an offensive lineman I know it has to be instinctive to be safe from a penalty. The linemen clearly meant to move thus a penalty should have been called on the Colts.

Further verification that the refs are Patriots fans...

This isn't getting overturned.

[/ QUOTE ]

Sadly, no. Another terrible NFL rule. These calls shouldn't be put in the refs hands, it should be 2 feet or nothing.

HORSE CHITAMENTS!!

[doubLe a tom]

Yea he got one foot down after bein hit, obv touchdown, great throw, great catch.

Man, did Caldwell just get bailed out.

[Spota]

it's fixed, no way he would have landed in bounds

[ QUOTE ]
There was a 0% chance he could get both feet inbounds.

[/ QUOTE ]

A good receiver could definitely get the tips of his feet in bounds.

[PropPlayer]

I would hate to be the ref making this call. I think it needs to stand but could see it going either way.
