    By the letter of the law, it is not a catch. That being said, the Steelers had blown chances that it never should never have gotten there. Don't drop interceptions late in the game. Be ready to kick the field goal.  Don't play conservative in the 4th quarter. Losing AB for 3/4's of the game hurt as well. I'd like to see the rule cleared up for the whole league. But it is what it is now. 

    Also, I don't see Pats fans complain when Cooks "caught" the game winning "catch" against the Texans a few weeks ago, and did not keep control of the ball all the way to the ground. Ruled a catch in that game. Other games it may not have been. 

    Ole Patriots fans. Huge football fans. Since 2002.

    Belichick and Brady have definitely made a deal with the devil or some kind of malignant demon or something.

    So one thing we learned from the Eagles/Giants game yesterday is that Carson Wentz is nothing but a system QB. You can plug anyone into that system and they can throw 4 TDs.

    Wrong. I thought that offense looked a lot more stale and predictable than it has with Wentz.  The Giants D just blows donkey balls.

    Brady lobs up a flutter ball and Pitt defender can't catch it- he shits his pants salivating at the opportunity to catch the easiest interception of all time. 

    Then NE wastes no time and scores a TD w a 2 point conversion to tie the game.

    "Lobs up a flutter ball" LOL. The ball was tipped by a Steelers D Lineman.

    Garoppolo's a pretty damn good qb. Niner's are in good shape at that position moving forward.

    It is a stupid rule.

    A receiver catches the ball... takes a few steps... makes a football move... crosses the goal line... goes to the ground... and the ball 'moves'. Ruling? Incomplete.

    What about the receiver taking a slant... running 30 yards... gets tackled... goes to the ground... and doesn't 'survive the ground' (the ball moves a bit as they hit the turf)? Ultimately... it's the same thing.

    If anything... they should have reviewed the play to see if it was a fumble. It was obviously a catch.

    Yep. It's not complicated.

    Thing is he never completed the "process" of the catch via the rule book.

    It's a dumb rule but the rule none the less.  

    Remember Calvin Johnson like 7 years ago did something like this and that is when it all started.

    I agree with you from what I've seen so far.

    Exactly.  The current rule negates the old "ground can't cause a fumble" part of a catch that we all grew up with and knew so well.  It's dumb, and it goes against everything that was ingrained in us for so long, but it's the rule.
