[QUOTE="OldSchool101, post: 747924, member: 10086"] Really?? Ok I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt here because neither resulted in a scoring play and one was a catch and fumble and one was never a catch (although don’t ask guys like OBJ that still think it’s a bogus call) The Play is formally known as “the catch” Btw ;) 1 Both plays were the Offense trying to advance the ball after a CATCH (or at least as originally ruled a catch) 2 Both plays arguably finished WITHIN the 1 yard line AND in an attempt by the player to reach across the goal line they ultimately failed and lost control of the ball. 3 Both plays were initially ruled by referees closest to the play as catches. 4 Both plays were NOT being booth reviewed as scoring plays based on said spot by that umpire being just short of the goal line. 5 Both plays were Challenged by a HC 6 Both plays were REVERSED due to the challenge after review 7 Both plays were initially very controversial (deeming more than 3+ initial replays etc..) and now have multiple YouTube videos of just that one play. 8 Both plays were the result of the attention to a technicality of the rule book that many common fans would not have even considered. 9 Both plays were in games decided by just six points or fewer (meaning the result of that play could have clearly impacted the final outcome) 10 Both plays resulted in lengthy discussions like this one (boy ain’t that the truth) in multiple forums. Now that wasn’t the point I was even trying to initially make but you insisted these plays are totally unrelated and singled out my earlier statement as such, so, TouchdownPackers, I’m just clarifying that they are very much related and similar in a variety of ways IMO. I’ll reiterate that GB is not immune to these rules either. They happen to every team and this is NOT the first time in recent years someone had fumbled into the back of the Endzone causing a TB so this is not an anomaly either. Not trying to be mean but us fans often want to change rules that have been around since the beginning of time if they don’t fit our personal standards. I say again..Let’s keep the rule there’s no good argument enough to override this one and every time you change a rule you change the sport away from its roots and it becomes a derivative of its original form.
