Once you gain control of the ball, haven't you completed the act of the catch?

I think the reason why some people aren’t seeing a catch is because of the many times we’ve seen a defender go to the ground and lose the ball. This is a different story as Harris never went to the ground. He completed the catch and had two feet down, then the defender yanked it out.

That’s a TD.

Why did Alex throw to a man in triple coverage? Somebody had to be wide open.

It can be interpreted that since the defender had his hands where he did, Harris never fully completed or controlled the ball

Eh maybe, but I disagree.

Well yeah, chiefs fans all do.

But that's not getting overturned

Harris had two hand around the ball and control with two feet down. I think that objectively had a good shot at being overturned.

I don't think it's that easy to say he had control of it, enough to overturn a call on the field

He caught the ball, established both feet (actually tapped three feet total), and never went to the ground.

This is sort of where I've landed (ha). I mean, if he's caught and controlled the ball (which you could feasibly argue that he had), how long is he supposed to stand there with it before the play is dead? It seems like the answer should be "zero". Through my homer goggles, it looks like a TD to me.

Bullshit... it was a td before the defender even touched the ball with his elbow lol... his hand was on his arm.

ThaVirus 10-16-2017 12:34 PM

In the end zone, clear control, three feet down. I’m not sure what more you could ask for, honestly..

I’m not even mad about it, though. It happened. It’s over..

Pasta Little Brioni 10-16-2017 12:36 PM

No chance that gets overturned...NONE. Smart not to blow a time out. There is simply NO way they overturn that mess.

Marcellus 10-16-2017 12:38 PM

That play wouldn't get overturned seeing it again that gif. That being said I have no idea why possession of the ball in the EZ isn't immediately a TD.

Once he had both hands on the ball and both feet down, TD. But thats not how they call it now sans the Megatron play which was a TD as well that they called incomplete.

Pasta Little Brioni 10-16-2017 12:41 PM

The team had a chance at the end because they had those timeouts. The blown throw to Robinson on the final drive sealed the deal. Alex makes that throw and the Chiefs win.

Warrick 10-16-2017 12:46 PM

PGM's true colors are shining through... this isn't about Alex you meathead... it's about the play at hand.
