[QUOTE="rmontro, post: 753097, member: 12340"] Well, we won't be going there this year. If missing the playoffs brings about the kind of change that this team needs (mainly, moving on from Capers), it will be well worth it IMO. I'm tired of seeing the defense set new standards for futility on a regular basis. Yeah, the ball definitely moved when James hit the ground. Critics of the call will say that he broke the plane so it should have been a touchdown at that point, but I don't agree - he has to complete the catch. Others are saying he made some sort of "football move", but I don't buy that either. He was going to the ground the whole time. In the case with the Panthers, he had already gone to the ground when he landed on his butt. Then he flipped over and the ball hit the ground. But since he had already gone to the ground, does it matter if he then goes to the ground again afterward? I'm not so sure. I have no problem with the going to the ground rule. I think it makes things clearer than they would be otherwise. I also notice that about half the guys on TV who claim the James play was a catch will admit that technically, according to the NFL rules, it wasn't a catch. They just don't like the rule. [/QUOTE]
