What is a catch? Inbounds or out of bounds?

Kinda wish they'd just adopt the 1foot rule like in NCAA.

Less replay reviews for refs to get involved with.

Better catches and scoring, potentially.

It's gotten to the point where they've made rules so subjective they don't know how to call the game thus too much going thru the NY/officials headset, and wtf knows what goes on during those convos.

There's a reason why the refs continue to get worse and worse.

This.

I'm in favor, generally, of easier reffing decisions. One foot is easier.

Although it is less dramatic so I don't think they will change it.

I also do NOT like that the ball can touch the ground as long as you maintain control. Well how much control? No touching the ground is an easier, bright line rule. Sure, there is still the issue did you complete a football move before you fell to the ground as the ball touched the field. But this would not come up as often. I don't see any chance of this happening either.

I thought the overturn was correct. I thought it clear enough the shin touched in bounds before knee OOB.

Please God, no. I mean, I get it from the perspective of wanting more scoring. But every rule/change they've implemented to make the game easier, to make it safer, to increase scoring, has led to more and more mediocre play. More mediocre QBs. More mediocre coaches. More mediocre OLs and DLs.

Please go back to making the game harder. Maybe, probably, we'll see the quality of the game go back up.
