Giantone, thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for being on these boards. You just have a way of always proving your side wrong. It's bad when you try to argue in favor of cops or religion, but most instances, like now, you are worth your weight in gold. THANK YOU!
Your post motivated me to post screenshots of the video in question.
I guess groupthink is a thing. I took it for granted, like everyone said, RG3 never got his feet down. Here's relevant screenshots:
He's got it.
He hasn't got it.
He's got it again, dragging the left foot. Ball isn't over the goal line yet.
Still got it, still dragging left foot. Oh look, the ball's past the goal line.
Still got it, dragging his left and then right foot too. He's got the ball, both feet down. That's better control of the ball than guys poking it over the line. At this point, guys usually drop the ball here.
STILL got it, STILL dragging the feet, going out of bounds. (see the pylon?)
At this point, he's no different than any runner poking the ball over the line. He had it, lost it, got it again dragging the left foot. Then took the ball over the line. Touchdown, unless you want to say every time a guy pokes it over the line and drops it should be called back.
I tried to tell you guys. Moss and Garcon and others tried to tell the refs. The call on the field, touchdown, should never have been overturned in the first place!
Don't take my word on these pics. Here's the video link again, below. Second vid down the page. Click on it to freeze, then continue.
I TOLD YOU SO!!!!
