[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 753065"] But the rule changes have changed what constitutes a catch. They looked at the Johnson catch, they looked at the rules, and they reckoned it was the right call. Since then, every change and interpretation has been modeled after that play in one way or another. We know a catch when we see it...in slow motion from 4 angles together with the real time replay after the fact . The refs on the field cannot do that. That's a big problem. The fix is not to make it easier to make the call on the field by elongating the process of what constitutes a catch which is exactly what was done. The fix is to make putting the call in the replay booth easier. Until they do that, nobody is going to be satisfied because what they call a catch today might be more consistent, but it excludes a lot of actual catches. [/QUOTE]
