I honestly think they should change the catch rule to something a little more vague that errs on the officials opinion of whether possession was established. That way if it looks like a catch officials can just rule it a catch. It's too hard to define the line where "a football move" is made, because it's such a bang bang play. James looked like he had established possession and broken the plane, which would've made it a td. Same thing with the Dez catch, the Calvin Johnson catch, etc. You guys might think I'm crazy, but the Dez catch never touched the ground, and he established possession in the end zone. That's a catch to me. Calvin Johnson had possession all the way down and was in bounds. That's a catch to me.

The rule as written now is a travesty. Take away Steelers and Patriots fans, and I'd bet 90%+ of football fans would say that's easily a catch.

Carr is either a fucking retard or a greedy asshole. So fucking stupid/selfish.

[sdskinsfan2001]

Runs out of bounds and its 1st and goal at like the 2.

[sdskinsfan2001]

And Lynch proves once again he's a moron.

Hell, Carr holds onto the ball and taps the pylon, it's a touchdown, right?

But yeah, if he tucks and secures it 1st and goal. Easy to say from a couch with hindsight, but dang Carr shoulda held on to the ball.

You at least reach with outside arm tho, that's football 101. Takes a huge risk and while going against basic football tenants.
