In Super Bowl XXVI, there were a lot of "catches" that wouldn't have been catches today. I remember one low pass Rypien threw to Byner that was called a catch and there was no way that would've been called a catch in today's game. Of course, there were also a lot of times where roughing the passer probably would've been called on the Redskins defense as well that wasn't called. The game was definitely called much more loosely back then!

It just feels so funny now, to hear the ref say "...he would have come down in bounds..." ... yeah and if there was no defender he would have scored a 90 yards TD, so let's give him 7 points?
With all the elements required to call a catch nowadays, having such a subjective rule sounds crazy.
