Worst Nfl Call Ever!
Bears Lions game clearly a touchdown by Detroit. Two feet down in the end zone, falls on his ass in the end zone and they call it incomplete? Total blown call by a ref who should be fired immediately!!!
Possibly a call worse than the Hockuli Charger Broncos call........

Way worse. Go down to the sports threads for the comments of a few folks.

It's not the ref. It's the dumbass "process of the reception" rule. It's a serious problem in the rulebook and that was a travesty today.

I say it again - the ball only ends up on the ground because Johnson got up to celebrate. I would think that with every catch Calvin makes the remainder of this season, he possesses the ball long enough to hand it to the referee.

I missed the play at the time, only heard about it on the radio. I heared it was called a TD on the field and overturned upstairs, right? I have just seen it for the first time, and the call STUNK! The Rule STINKS! It was a DISGRACE to the game, the Bears were so horrible they didn't deserve this win, and Detroit was ROBBED!

The part I don't get about this a day later is what constitutes a "second motion." Why is spiking the ball considered a second motion, but placing the ball on the ground to celebrate doesn't? I just don't get it.

And I keep going back to the Lance Moore 2-point conversion from last year's Super Bowl. That was a TD - where the receiver literally had possession for .1 of a second - but this isn't?

Quote:
But what I'm thinking is that Lance Moore caught the ball before the goaline. Then he reached over (made a slight move) and broke the plain of the goaline, such as when a RB carries the ball and breaks the plain. If a RB breaks the plain and fumbles it's still a TD, just like in the case of Moore. The play is over and it's a TD. Now there is the ridiculous ruling on the reception that cost the Lions the game yesterday, where you must have possesion all the way through the play/action. I though he established possesion and it was just a terrible interpertion of the rule by the zebras. That's my guess.

Right, the Moore play was clearly a different situation - the possessing the ball before breaking the plane as opposed to catching the ball in the end zone. I get that they're different rules, but Moore literally possessed the ball with two feet on the ground for a fraction of a second, and that was (correctly) called a 2-point conversion. Meanwhile, Calvin Johnson possesses the ball for almost two full seconds, comes down and places the ball on the ground to celebrate, and it's not a touchdown?
THe other thing is that if you read this rule in its entirely, one could easily argue that Johnson made the catch.

The tuck rule is just dumb. I still don't know why more guys don't just pump fake and then run around without touching the ball with their other hand. It's impossible to fumble in that situation.

When you hear the word "process" involved in an NFL call, that says lawyer speak to me. Get these lawyer, salesman, part time idiots out of the ref game!

It was part of a larger conspiracy to keep Lovie Smith as coach of the Bears.
