Talib has been called for three flags, don't really think this game is fixed... cant quite figure out how we lost that challenge, was clearly a catch.

Unfortunately, not calling that a catch was the one call that allowed Denver to score their only TD.  If that was correctly called a catch, Cam would not have been sacked/stripped/fumbled at the goal-line for a TD.  That was a huge call and greatly affected this game.  As you said, it was clearly a catch.

It was not a catch. The ball hit the ground as Cotch is falling forward, prior to his rolling over. He clearly does not have possession and never really had it at all. 

Rivera throwing that second challenge flag was stupid, now we're out of challenges. (Which is also stupid, rule needs to be as long as you have a timeout, you may challenge, with the loss of timeout as the penalty for losing the challenge).

Your wrong to put it nicely. Ball never touched the ground.

It was a catch, his hand was under the ball and it never hit the field when it wasn't.

the NFL will apologize about Tuesday.

Nose of the ball clearly touches the ground. If Cotch catches it cleanly, we have a 23 yard gain and they don't get a TD. WRs are dropping balls left and right.

You realize his hand is under the ball, his body bounces up, it bobbles around but never touches the ground from that point. Completed catch, thanks.

[Thanatos]

His hand is under the ball, but the ball ALSO touches the ground in addition to his hand being under it. Then the ball moves afterwards, so he doesn't have possession. NFL is going to call that incomplete every time.

[Kevin Greene]

Good catch, lol.

The ball can touch the ground, as long as its in your possession which Cotchery had his hand underneath the ball. The retired ref mike said it was a catch on the review. The ball came loose at the end there cause stewart helmet hit it

Right but when the ball is bobbling the whole time they're not going to overturn the call on the field.

Plus its Mike Carey making that call, he's horrific. He's been wrong about twice as many times as he's been right.

[Kevin Greene]

throw the flag, pick it up, no problem!

Pick up the flag then don't call a Talib offsides. Alright

Learn the rulebook.

Not calling Talib offsides was awful though.

Ginn hit out of bounds after giving himself up, yet we get the once-in-a-season illegal blindside block called against us.
