Head of Officiating Says Wallace Catch Not a Catch

[PhillyB]

Okay, so twice in this game Dolphin catches were challenged, both reviews awarded the catch, and in both cases the outcome was incorrect AFTER looking at the replay?

I think Scott Green should be fired, especially when you add in the missed shot to Cam's chin by Wake.

Smfh

 

yep, we got absolutely screwed on two separate critical calls. not screwed as in "ohh that was a bad interpretive call you just made right there" but screwed as in "you literally do not know the rules of football."

 

AND we won anyway.

 

that's what i love about it

Lol this ref crew sucks. We might as well had the replacement refs for that Miami game.

What I think happened was the refs reviewed the replay to see whether Wallace's feet were inbounds and completely forgot to check what happened afterwards.  Still inexcusable, but whatever.

 

The people claiming conspiracy, just stop.

Anyone that has been watching football for more than a few years knew this...

whats really baffling is you could clearly see Rivera screaming at the refs about him bobbling the ball at the end before the reviewed the play.

 

and they still didnt look. wtf

[Raskle]

Meh.. good teams win despite bad calls. We're a good team. Past that, I don't care.

 

 

It's been a while since we could say that. Feels good, right?

[Montsta]

Refs do this frequently on reviews. They look at the frames they think matter and not the replay in its entirety. Same thing happened with Trindon Holliday last year. They looked and looked again at the beginning of the return, but didn't look at the end where he crossed the goal line and dropped the ball. They really are horrible at their jobs.

[Doc Holiday]

Wow.

Well, we won.

We all win every time we see your sig...

In order of from worst overall officiating in the three major sports to the best:

1. NBA

2. NFL

3. MLB

NBA at times is unwatchable because officiating is so inconsistent.

NFL I am increasingly convinced that officials don't even understand the rules and clearly most announcers don't

MLB is not perfect but get it right most of the time.

I couldn't believe they didn't overturn that call. They define what catch is and isn't on a game by game basis it seems. If this has been posted please delete. I did not see it on the page or via search.

 

 

When it happened, I didn't think Wallce  hadcomplete control and that  it wasn't a catch. However,after watching the review I wasn't sure,so I figured it was one of those inconclusive situations. Guess not.

There was some serious home-cooking goin' on down there in that Sun Life Stadium.

No one knows what a catch is, honestly. It's such a bullshit ruling.

[TheRed]

That's what it ultimately boils down to. Even the people making the calls don't really know the rules. The NFL is currently happily making billions annually, it's up to them to ensure rules are clearly written, and understood. So far, that's not happening. It's a shame.

Exactly. I've never heard anyone explain wtf a "football move" is. Other than some sort of loophole.
