Left hand between Jennings' arms and on the ball; right was outside Jennings' arm and on the ball. Joel Send a noteboard - 26/09/2012 01:38:28 AM
If that was the case, it would nearly be impossible for the defense to intercept the ball. So long as an offensive player could get a hand on it EVENTUALLY, it would be ruled simultanous. Here, Jennings gets two hands on and pulls the ball to his chest, Tate never has more than one arm on it until they are in the scrum.

It's not a matter of simultaneous possession, in which the possession has to START OUT simultaneous.

At the moment of the catch by both players, thus the possession DID start out as simultaneous. Not that a one-hander precludes possession, but here that is moot.

/NFL: now that replacement refs have cost the packers a win, can we please get the real ones back? *NM* moondog - 25/09/2012 05:14:58 AM 658 Views
I was gonna keep it to one thread, but hell, I'll join yours. Dannymac - 25/09/2012 05:24:26 AM 678 Views
Link? Clip? Joel - 25/09/2012 05:27:07 AM 646 Views
Let's just say that Gruden used the word "Jobbed" in the live telecast. *NM* Dannymac - 25/09/2012 05:35:08 AM 411 Views
Here's a link. Dannymac - 25/09/2012 05:36:56 AM 732 Views
Yes and no; that is the link I referenced in my post. Joel - 25/09/2012 05:47:07 AM 542 Views

Thanks; that looks like a textbook case of simultaneous possession, which goes to the receiver: TD. Joel - 25/09/2012 07:29:28 AM 635 Views
pete carroll is a cheating douchebag, you cannot take his word for what happened moondog - 25/09/2012 10:59:33 AM 898 Views
I did not; I watched the clip: Simultaneous possession, which goes to the receiver. Joel - 26/09/2012 01:30:18 AM 1242 Views
watch a better replay if you can moondog - 26/09/2012 02:38:17 AM 702 Views
Have now; still not convinced. Joel - 26/09/2012 04:01:23 AM 741 Views
that's ok. you're still wrong moondog - 26/09/2012 04:12:56 AM 751 Views
I know you are but what am I? *MN* Joel - 26/09/2012 04:48:47 AM 703 Views
also, the pass interference on tate that wasn't called is clear at 0:56 in that clip moondog - 25/09/2012 11:27:36 AM 705 Views
Tate was looking for the ball, and raised his hands to catch it, not push off Sam Shields. Joel - 26/09/2012 01:33:46 AM 651 Views
watch a better replay and get back to me on this one. moondog - 26/09/2012 02:36:43 AM 699 Views
Where did the NFL head office acknowledge that? Joel - 26/09/2012 03:52:36 AM 810 Views
in their official response to the whole incident....? moondog - 26/09/2012 04:14:52 AM 933 Views
Fair enough then; the NFLs official position is that offensive PI should have been called. Joel - 26/09/2012 04:45:58 AM 701 Views
Yeah, if one hand counts as possession Dannymac - 25/09/2012 05:15:37 PM 724 Views
new rule: catch the guy who caught the ball -- score a TD *NM* moondog - 26/09/2012 12:10:05 AM 372 Views
Left hand between Jennings' arms and on the ball; right was outside Jennings' arm and on the ball. Joel - 26/09/2012 01:38:28 AM 659 Views
How have you not seen this play? Are you in a cave? *NM* Dark Knight - 25/09/2012 03:57:55 PM 349 Views
No, I am in Norway, where NFL coverage is rather limited. Joel - 26/09/2012 01:40:07 AM 843 Views
Wait, you're not in Houston? *NM* Dark Knight - 26/09/2012 01:42:45 AM 366 Views
Not since the Texas Sesquicentennial, no. Joel - 26/09/2012 01:45:29 AM 614 Views
While you can hardly blame the replacement refs because they are basically trainees... Mats Gambling Buddy - 25/09/2012 06:05:22 AM 817 Views
Now I really want to see this play. Joel - 25/09/2012 06:27:42 AM 812 Views
Re: Now I really want to see this play. Mats Gambling Buddy - 25/09/2012 02:48:56 PM 723 Views
I have still only seen the YouTube clip, but it looked like they both had both hands on the ball. Joel - 26/09/2012 01:58:27 AM 653 Views
There are good views on nfl.com. Will link. callandor1000 - 26/09/2012 02:16:51 AM 824 Views
Thanks; I still do not see much to change my mind. Joel - 26/09/2012 02:32:43 AM 719 Views
The last call was a joke. Orange - 25/09/2012 06:52:59 AM 666 Views
You might appreciate learning that the Lingerie Football League fired some of these refs Larry - 25/09/2012 07:19:37 AM 729 Views
Tie goes to the receiver - the rule for decades. The Packers benefitted from worse calls last year Cannoli - 25/09/2012 11:31:47 AM 752 Views
you probably think greedo shot first too..... moondog - 25/09/2012 01:49:03 PM 704 Views
Possession doesn't mean squat until you land. Tate had it by then Cannoli - 25/09/2012 03:13:29 PM 704 Views
he had nothing until they landed and he tried to pull it away. everyone but you agrees on this *NM* moondog - 25/09/2012 03:25:43 PM 343 Views
Not so; Cannoli and I agree on pretty much every point involved in this play. Joel - 26/09/2012 02:17:01 AM 677 Views
They can't reverse that call. Aemon - 25/09/2012 04:43:28 PM 788 Views
the only possible way was to rule it incomplete moondog - 25/09/2012 10:42:25 PM 763 Views
It was very obviously caught; you can't rule that incomplete. Aemon - 25/09/2012 11:06:17 PM 685 Views
my philosophy is "interception = incomplete" but i think that's only for stats purposes moondog - 26/09/2012 12:32:43 AM 639 Views
Congrats Cannoli, you are the only person (thing?) in the country who thinks it's a TD *NM* Dark Knight - 25/09/2012 03:53:18 PM 473 Views
I'm not even the only person in this thread, moron. *NM* Cannoli - 25/09/2012 04:07:48 PM 386 Views
Joel hasn't even seen the play, douchebag *NM* Dark Knight - 25/09/2012 04:12:35 PM 350 Views
Just so you can get this information without namecalling ... Nate - 25/09/2012 04:18:41 PM 677 Views
No I mean he hasn't seen the replay over and over on ESPN *NM* Dark Knight - 25/09/2012 04:21:46 PM 356 Views
I have seen enough of it, and while I did not write Cannolis response, I easily could have. Joel - 26/09/2012 02:06:45 AM 696 Views
Interesting. What is the rule with arguing refs? Dannymac - 25/09/2012 05:18:35 PM 616 Views
That response was disturbingly like my thoughts on the play. Joel - 26/09/2012 01:49:37 AM 706 Views
As a Seahawks fan. Stephen - 25/09/2012 02:10:58 PM 661 Views
No. Not with that attitude. *NM* Palatine - 25/09/2012 04:03:32 PM 329 Views
*throws public tantrum* *NM* moondog - 25/09/2012 10:39:22 PM 319 Views
Slightly (very) loopy yet entertaining piece on why Ayn Rand is to blame for all of this. Stephen - 25/09/2012 05:38:12 PM 628 Views
She hates revenue sharing, salary caps & the draft, too, but the Pack would be screwed without each. Joel - 26/09/2012 03:34:00 AM 648 Views
Here's the proof Cannoli is refusing to see Dark Knight - 25/09/2012 05:54:07 PM 759 Views
Clearer shot, but stills do not allow us to see where Tates hands were at all times. Joel - 26/09/2012 02:10:25 AM 564 Views
you can't claim "good ol' strip" *AND* simultaneous catch -- which is it? moondog - 26/09/2012 02:35:41 AM 998 Views
I do not claim both: I claim simultaneous catch but IF not, then strip. Joel - 26/09/2012 03:51:47 AM 985 Views
you sure you saw the right replay? moondog - 26/09/2012 04:21:57 AM 682 Views
Think so, yeah. Joel - 26/09/2012 04:58:15 AM 803 Views
from another angle -- pun intended moondog - 26/09/2012 04:01:54 PM 670 Views
There are two separate issues: 1) Was it a simultaneous catch; 2) IF not, was it a strip? Joel - 27/09/2012 08:54:52 AM 855 Views
your opinion is against pretty much everyone in the world, so..... *shrug* moondog - 27/09/2012 03:55:33 PM 888 Views
Thanks; I did not expect you to give in so easily. Joel - 27/09/2012 10:14:30 PM 711 Views
did you even read that article??? moondog - 28/09/2012 12:35:39 AM 723 Views
"his control wasn’t established again...." Joel - 28/09/2012 01:08:03 AM 997 Views
wow, what a thorough analysis you sent me either way, you're still wrong moondog - 28/09/2012 02:05:24 AM 788 Views
That is not an argument. Joel - 28/09/2012 02:26:58 AM 610 Views
Worst calls are made all the time by the regular officials. callandor1000 - 26/09/2012 01:23:57 AM 659 Views
yes, but not usually more than one per game, certainly not several in a single weekend.... *NM* moondog - 26/09/2012 02:39:56 AM 356 Views
