[QUOTE="adambr2, post: 768271, member: 7277"] [URL]http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2018/03/21/proposed-catch-rule-uses-objective-and-subjective-language-for-critical-element/[/URL] I think you might be right, they may just love the controversy. Look at this change. Must have one of: A) A 3rd step (Like it. This was my suggestion). B) Reaching or extending the ball for the line to gain. (Like it a little less, still some room for subjectivity here, but I could live with this). C) The ability to do either. Andddd they screw it all up. Lovely. Completely open to interpretation and will be interpreted differently by every official. Not only that, but this whole "We are going back to the 'indisputable' threshold for overturning instead of 'clear and obvious'. Um, bull. The standard has always been there, you've just ignored it over time, and I've got no reason to think they won't continue to do so. The real standard for overturning a call is much closer to "We think so." [/QUOTE]
