That wasn't the best look but Harris has actually come up big in the end zone these last couple years.

In such a tight space there isn't much wiggle room and your stars are going to be keyed on. It's almost genius to look to the 6'6" back up TE.

I officially have no idea what is and isn't a catch in today's NFL.

And its been this way for a couple of years now. Anytime a catch is reviewed, it really is a crap shoot regarding what the refs are going to say coming out of the review.

Leaving it wide open for ref interpretation like that is asking to be hosed

From my view, he had the ball controlled with both hands with two feet down. The defender's hands were intertwined with Harris' hands and he was pulling him to the ground. The fact that he was pulling him to the ground make the "complete the process" argument null. He had complete control of the ball in the endzone.

And the alternative to ref interpretation is?

Have the fans vote from the stands? Flip a coin? Write a computer algorithm?

You can't say Reid should have challenged it, but then say 'well, it wouldn't have been ruled a catch anyway'.

That's just ****ing stupid. If you believe that, then you're okay with him just arbitrarily wasting a time out (which people bitch about him doing all the time). He would have needed that TO at the end of the game to have a shot to win.

And according to the NFL there isn't a process to complete a catch.

That have no ****ing clue what a catch really is anymore.

I thought it was a catch/TD, but I also do not have a clear understanding of the rules.

I also think that had we challenged, there was not enough evidence to overturn it.

You're now qualified to referee and NFL football game.

[The Franchise]

As soon as both of your feet hit the ground in the endzone, as long as you still have possession, then it's a ****ing TD. It's complete and utter bullshit that you have to check off 10 different things to catch a TD but the line of the endzone goes on forever and it doesn't matter if you're hovering above the out of bounds.....it's a TD if you cross it.

I think if Harris puts down two feet, steps out of bounds and then the ball gets knocked out it is ruled a catch
Maybe I am wrong, and fully believe incomplete may be the right call, I just wish they could better define something that likely can't be more clearly defined.

I also felt like the defender didn't even attempt to displace the ball until two feet were down. He was the only one touching the ball, the ball was not moving, and he put two feet down. After that happened the defender successfully knocked the ball loose

Why is it always Harris that Alex is looking for in those situations? I see Harris and Travis in that gif. Where in the **** is Kelce?
