[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 768002"] I think that's pretty close to right and I believe the league will have none of it. The league doesn't care about a catch that looks like a catch but isn't. They care that fans care. Or maybe not. Maybe they like the controversy. What they are chiefly interested in is having the refs on the field make the calls and crafting rules that permit the real-time naked eye to make them. They achieved their objective because the no-catch calls are pretty consistent in having the "establish as a runner" criteria. They are not ready to put control of the offciating in the "booth", which is actually the New York replay command center today, to honor the athleticism instead of concessions to real-time limitations. They may tweek the rules, but they are not going to fix them coming from these perspectives. [/QUOTE]
