[QUOTE="BrokenArrow, post: 761741, member: 12225"] And once again, you're throwing common sense out of the window. The "control" aspect has always been defined by the eyeball test. That would not change. It has NEVER been a 10th of a second of contact with the hands and that wouldn't start now. As I said, my suggestion was just a starting point for discussion. No reason to dwell on it. Either way, the way catches are handled now has a lot of problems. The very fact that there was ever even any debate that Ertz caught the ball last night and they had to take 2 minutes to figure it out confirms it. All the problems started when they brought back instant replay and started micro-analyzing everything. As I said before, perhaps the best answer is to make catches non-review-able except to confirm that a receivers feet were both in bounds. Another suggestion would be to continue to allow the entire process to be review-able, but it must be reviewed in real time. That would take a lot of nit-picking out of the reviews. Actually, the more I think of it, the more I'm liking this idea. All of the problems seem to arise when the cameras are zoomed way in and the video is slowed way down. The game isn't played in slow motion. Perhaps it shouldn't be scrutinized in slow motion. [/QUOTE]
