After watching the horrific call in today's steelers/pats game, how would you feel if you woke up Tomorrow and heard that all sports had banned all forms of video review? IMO, this is the death of sports.

Why would they end it for tennis? It works perfectly.

Video replay and challenges are here to stay get used to it. For years we blamed the Refs, who did a great job dealing with dirty players who got away with too much shit and calls that required them to judge a call within a fraction of a second... with video review we catch almost all of it given camera angles, camera doesn't lie.

Perhaps we should change the rule that caused the TD to be overturned.

I was in Pittsburgh at the game to watch my Pats win !!! He lost control of the ball, sad but true. During that time Pittsburgh didn't have a plan B and they didn't even know what to do for a 3rd down, Big Ben even admitted afterwards so they could have still tied it or have gone for it ... but they rushed it and then INT. When we were leaving there was a lot of talk on the play by Steelers fans going different ways but remember Steelers were winning then the Pats came back and took the lead, two plays later Pitts in the end zone, then that play happened.. judges made the call ... Steelers still had two plays, they lost the game.

Correct. It is the rule not the replay.

I heard an analysis last night that said if it had been a running play, it would have been a touchdown. How stupid is that.

What irks me to no end is that there are different rules if it's a runner running it in, or a receiver is. It used to be if you had control of the ball and break the plane it was a TD. End of story. THAT is the rule they need to revert to.

Why is it a runner can break the plane and then fumble when the ball hits the ground it is a TD? But if a receiver does the exact same thing it is an incomplete pass? How they came up with this cluster fuck is beyond me.

I don't think there is any way a rule from 1940 could ever imagine odell Beckham making 1 handed catches. The ridiculous athleticism and ball catching ability is why there is a need to be as exact as they are.

If the receiver doesn't maintain control of the football through contact with the ground then it's an incomplete pass anywhere on the field, and it doesn't matter one whit whether there's a goal line involved or not. If he loses control - it's simply incomplete.
If the receiver catches it and makes an 'athletic move' by running with it then he becomes a runner and all he has to do is break the plane. 'Incomplete pass' isn't an issue once it's a completed pass.
I don't like the rule and I would change it, but it's not inconsistent.
