Re: I don't care what anyone says, Lee Evans' catch should have been a catch/TD!
He did not...you are just a lost cause. I'm watching it on my DVR and at no point did 2 feet come down with him having possession. I have watched those last 3 plays at least 5 times...I can tell you everything that happened on those plays and Lee Evans did not have 2 feet down.
I will say the Calvin Johnson rule is not in play here...that is for players that fall to the ground...Evans never went to the ground. He just never had 2 feet down with possession.

Re: I don't care what anyone says, Lee Evans' catch should have been a catch/TD!
Alright, thanks to the link above I've been able to watch it again. He does get two feet down (right as he catches it, left as he turns), but he doesn't "maintain control of the ball long enough to perform any act common to the game."
It was the right call, damn the refs to Hades!

Re: I don't care what anyone says, Lee Evans' catch should have been a catch/TD!
He never went to the ground so it is adiff standard for possession. He should have caught it. Did not I guess, but it was much more like the Heap grab in atlas or Evans grab in preseason.
Close enough for a review, but like I said, there was no way we were getting that call. Woulda coulda shouldest made the catch though.

As much as I want to say that was a catch, that would be grasping at straws. It wasn't a catch, and the referees did not rob anyone. The only questionable call all game was the bogus ticky-tack illegal contact call on Webb, which negated Pollard's interception and allowed Patriots to put points on the board.

I honestly have no idea what you guys are seeing.
He only got one foot down.
As his left toe hits the turf, the ball is coming out of his arms.
I have slowed it down and watched replay after replay, in slow motion and in real time...he never got 2 feet down with possession.

It's called seeing what you want to see.
Just like people complaining about the illegal contact on Webb in 1st quarter. Clearly the correct call but that won't change some people's mind. If that were Arrington and Boldin on that play and it wasn't called this place would melt down.
Or the "head to head" hit. Please.
This was one hell of a game decided on the field by the players and not the referees.
It was about as heartbreaking as they come but it was a great game.

I agree. He got one foot down, then the ball gets knocked out right before his second foot comes down. That was a damn good throw by Flacco. It reminded me of his game winning td throw to Housh at Pitt. last year.
