[QUOTE="Crazy Packers Fan, post: 385693, member: 3311"] The NFL is constantly changing its standards on what is a catch and what isn't. Remember the "Bert Emanuel rule" that was put into the league after the infamous play that cost Tampa Bay a spot in the Super Bowl in the 1999 playoffs. For several years after that, it seemed as if every play that was close to being a catch was ruled in favor of the receiver and ruled a catch. Last year everything changed on the Week 1 Calvin Johnson no-catch. By the officials ruling that a no-catch, other officials around the league have now begun ruling against the receiver in every close situation. The Finley play was so similar that I knew it would be ruled a no-catch. You're going to see a lot of similar situations for a while. Eventually some bizarre play will happen and the NFL will change its standards again. [/QUOTE]
