PS: i have arian foster on my team as a fantasy RB LOL guy did absolute WORK!!!

yeah that new force out rule is complete BS they shouldve won that game

ps. i hate to say but bob sanders is the SOFTEST guy in the NFL(i hate to knock on my own colts)

dude he really is always injured, and yeah he did get robbed everyone knows it should've been a touchdown but thats the rules

yea they shoould hav won

bears fan just to clean out my closet that was one hell of a rocket catch and common sense says it should have been a catch. i dont understand the rule that says a catch is not a catch if you land on the ground catching it and then let it touch the ground. experts say it was the right call technically but im still not sure how it wasnt a catch

Yeah it was definitely a catch I think everyone can agree on that, but I think the rule says you must maintain control of the ball throughout the whole process of the catch, but basically they got fucked on a technicality

Wow, they really were robbed, i don't even get why it wasnt given

he landed on two feet and then 1 knee... and because the ball hits the ground. poor lions! haha

I was at the game and saw him make that catch right below me. I was already heading for the exit because no way was that not a TD. I am glad for the W because my Bears flat out dominated the game and let the Lions stay in the game but we are LUCKY to be 1-0.

lol ignorant bear fan ^^^^^^

That just pisses me the F#$& off. Lol, the bum refs probably got paid enough money to retire after that call.

Technically, Detroit wasnt robbed at all. If that is called a Touchdown, then the Bears are the ones being robbed.

Refs made the correct call on a shitty rule, so they arent the ones to blame.

Calvin Johnson is a great reciever, you would think he would hold on to the ball with 2 hands all the way through the catch.

I see why it was ruled an incomplete pass.. but there needs to be something added saying "If the receiver has possession of the ball and makes a maneuver to stand up then drops it, it's still a complete pass"


something like that...

that was a TD! the man had possession of the ball all the way...from the catch...to falling down. it was only when he went to get up that the ball dropped. this is why you can't leave the game in the refs hands. smh! teams have to do their best to blast their opponents every chance they get to avoid these garbage calls!

I guess you can't change the rules because 1 team

if that TD would have stood, i would be 1-0 in my fantasy football league!

This call was ruled the other way when Lance Moore caught that 2 point conversion in the Super Bowl.

Its a very wishy-washy rule with too much gray area.

same here

I love the "process"

chi town stand up for now...J pep d@mn near tore staffords arm off lol

As a packer fan, i wish they would have gave him the touchdown.. But technically its an incomplete pass so thats what they gotta call even though its a stupid rule

im a lions fan and i think the call was complete crap. i believe that shouldve been ruled a catch and detroit shouldve won that game. as far as common sense goes that is catch but if you read the rule carefully it wasnt a catch.. but what can you do.
