[QUOTE="AmishMafia, post: 764000, member: 2846"] Because there are so many clamoring for a rule change, there will be one. If it is a slight tweak, not much will change. If it is a major shift as some suggest, it will only last a few years, get tweaked a few times and ultimately fans will be upset once again. It is a very difficult thing to define. And if you go with "does it feel like a catch?" then you have lost all continuity from one ref to the next. I can see where that would be a much bigger disaster. Even in the same game depending on which ref is closest, there would be the lack of consistency. Maybe there is a way to better and more clearly define a catch. I just have not heard of it. Fans just need to accept the limitations of human referees and the situation for what it is. Every fan sees the bad calls working against them and ignores the bad ones in their favor. You just have to hope that they even out in the long run. Except if you are the Raiders. They always get screwed. [/QUOTE]
