Wasn’t a catch

But we will get the shaft

He had two feet down, control of the football, and made a football move...How was that not a catch?

 

[JPatera76]

Seattle VS the refs lol already. FFS not a catch, and Lockett getting PI'd lol i give

 

[Torc]

Not sure why Pete would waste a challenge flag in the first quarter on what was effectively a short gain.

 

[MyrtleHawk]

Didn't Seattle recover it?

 

[MORGULON]

NFL has to keep wunderkind relevant

Was my knee jerk reaction in real time.

That’s what this forum is for.

No

 

[dbsn2420]

Had the hawks picked that up it would definitely be called "No Catch"!

 

[MyrtleHawk]

Oh, I thought they did...My bad

i mean he didnt advance the ball in anyways only a catch and turn..

I tend to agree

Exactly. It's not worth the chance of losing a time out but Pete is the worst and challenge calls.

 

[JPatera76]

i mean just an example... of many that could be made where the rules are really.. up for the ref's interpretation/discretion

The sarcastic jerk in me would be saying "thanks for ruling against me on the review" to the nearest ref after the 4th Down stop.

Isn't a football move bringing it into your chest? Or am I wrong?

He's actually 12th in the league in challenge success rate lmao, at least as far as the most recent stuff I can find is (late 2020)

Regardless, it stalled opponent momentum once again

It's because of the NFL being the venue. I always say:
Q- When is a catch not a catch?
A- When it's the NFL

thats the problem the rule has been deciphered i so many ways. Bringing the ball in, two feet, advancing and turning up field, 3 steps, 2 steps. its just ridiculous

Wow, he seems a lot worse than he is to me I guess then
