[QUOTE="G0P4ckG0, post: 753131, member: 10819"] Kind of off topic... I just don't understand why a player (while diving forward with feet off the ground) can outstretch his arms into the endzone with full control, land on the ground in the endzone, lose partial control of the ball, and it count as an incompletion. BUT...a quarterback can outstretch his arms over the goal line in a sneak situation, pull the ball back, potentially even fumble the ball while pulling back, but it still counts as a touchdown. I thought as long as full control was established prior to crossing the goal line, the absolute moment the ball crosses the goal line it is a touchdown. And then what about the pylon plays? Player dives towards the endzone pylon with full control already established, touches pylon, loses control, but still touchdown? And why can a receiver get both toe tips barely in bounds on a catch with cimplete control, stumble upright out of bounds, drop the ball, and it be considered a catch? Why is the catch part only an issue when the player is falling to the ground? There is zero consistency. [/QUOTE]
