Great post on the most confusing part of the game right now – determining whether it’s a catch or not. Each of the plays talked about this week directly affected our league scores. And I think they give Emmanuel Sanders way too much credit in this piece. I watched that game. His dumb ass completely flaked out on that play and just went and flopped down in the end zone, as if he was celebrating the tremendous catch/no-catch in exhaustion. This inattention completely negating Denver’s chances to get back on the line, spike the ball and kick a game-winning FG in regulation. If Denver had ended up losing that game in OT – it would have gone down as a tremendous blunder. Anyone else catch that play live and realize the ensuing disaster?

Refs got it right. He clearly had it in the end zone. Where Pererra and the booth crew wrongly confused people, is by stating countless times that he has to have it all the way to the ground. Idiotic! Not all receptions result in a player going to the ground. I’d be the first guy to rule against Tate…for obvious reasons, but he wasn’t going to the ground until he was pushed over a player after the ball came loose. IMO, he secure it long enough after breaking the plane.
