Coolest thing about this game so far is that Jeff Kent is going to be on Survivor.

I like that Kareem Jackson didn't get involved and get a stupid PI call on that deep ball

[GlenRice]

What's the difference between 1st and 20 and 2nd and 10?

[Texanmike02]

Nice tackle by McCain.

He was just standing there looking around. LOL

Even though we got a stop there, it wasn't because of us. That Dolphin WR should have caught that. Ugh.

Still running the Geico Orakpo commercial? This has been a bad football day so far.

Sigh...

Rule 8, Section 1, Article 3, Item 1 of the NFL Rule Book (page 51) states that “if a player goes to the ground in the act of catching a pass (with or without contact with an opponent), he must maintain control of the ball after he touches the ground, whether in the field of play or the end zone. If he loses control of the ball, and the ball touches the ground before he regains control, the pass is incomplete. If he regains control prior to the ball touching the ground, the pass is complete

On passing plays, the NFL rule of possession states that the receiver must have possession of the ball with both feet down in bounds before a catch can be ruled legal. The rule further describes possession as the player having clear control of the football before going out of bounds. Receivers are ruled not to have possession of the ball legally if they are bobbling the football before going out of bounds.

The Calvin Johnson ruling stood, because he was not deemed to have control of the ball at any point in time.........in or out of bounds.

Jean had control of the ball at the time of having both feet in bounds. Once he was out of bounds, he still maintained possession up until he hit the ground. This should have been ruled a TD.

OMG! A first down!!!

Thank you.

Like I said it was a BS call.

Rookie refs already costing teams.
