It is a moot point but I was at the game and although my vision was somewhat impaired, I thought he never had control of the ball. Enlighten me.

It was tough to say. Its one of those calls that could have gone either way. I figured in the cosmic sense we deserved to fumble it down there to make things right.
And high five for spelling it "moot" and not "mute" or "mood" point. That's a personal pet peeve of mine.:salute:

It's one of those plays where the ruling on the field determined it.
Had it been ruled an incomplete pass to begin with, it wouldn't have been overturned. However, it was ruled a catch and fumble and there wasn't enough to overturn that way either.
It was a close call. I could see it going either way. If we still had the "football move" rule from two years ago I'm pretty sure it would have been overturned, but the bar has been lowered for receptions.

It was is a sketchy call, but I think you will be hard pressed to find anyone who is going to bitch about a call like that around here for a while.

And don't forget about Joey Tribiani's "moo" point

Yeah its a total mood point. But I think there was no way the official was going overturn such a close call especially with the emphasis brought on by last week.

it was a fumble and it was the right call. But like the others said had it been ruled incomplete evidence was such that it would have been hard to rule it a fumble too.

But the one...the one that makes me want to through my computer against a wall is using "should of", "could of" and "would of" for "should've (should have)", "could've (could have)", "should've" (should have"). Don't get me started on punctuation, capitalization, and spelling!
What were we talking about again? :D

Yep. No way they were going to give us that call two weeks in a row. The rest of the league would of been rioting. It was far too close to call anyway and the call on the field trumped the review.

If this play took place in the EZ, I have a real hard time believing they would've awareded Schef a TD for it because the ball was moving around and was all over the place, but that is in essence what they did by ruling it a catch and fumble.

Yep, karma's a bitch.
I thought about last week when that happened, and felt a bit better.
There are bigger fish to fry this week though, let's all get back to complaining about out our _efense.

Yes, it's a mute point (;)), since it didn't bite us in the end.
I think it might have been one of those that whichever way it went on the field was how they were going to call it. I don't know if they still have the two feet down situation, when it is an open field catch (the rule varies based on in the field of play, endzone and going out of bounds, as I understand it).
It was virtually impossible to tell if he controlled it right before or after he took the first step. There was clearly one step when he had full control, and he might have gained full control right before, right as, or right after he took that first step.
I think it was too close to overturn.

well here is the thing bout that. if it was like the rules of a couple of yrs ago, or even last yr, it would have been incomplete. soooo, i think it was the write call. in slow mo when the boys from fox wer lookin at it it surly lookd like a fumble but that was slo mo, so who knows if the ref looked at it in real time or if he looked at it in slo mo as well or both. anyhow, in my opinion it could of been called either way, but it should of been called the way it was. or something like that.:D

He caught the ball and made a football move (slightly). The thing that I couldn't figure out was that the announces said that they had changed the rules this year...and that he had to have two steps or something to be considered a catch. The Ref never explained the ruling.

Originally, "moot" meant to argue, thus making a moot point is one worth arguing over. It has been used for so long incorrectly, it has actually been adopted to mean irrelevant.

That is a moot point.

Yes, that was a good call, definitely a fumble.
Once I removed my orange glasses, I had to admit that . . .

I had a hard time removing them but seeing through them was a bit easier with the call the week prior.

The defender put his hat on the ball and it squirted out after he had poss. Timing by the defender couldn't have been any better.
Now that I put my Broncos shades on:
He obviously never made a football move or tucked the ball before it was knocked out...BS call, they were just trying to make it up for the week 2 blunder.:D

It was tough to tell at the game, the camera angels weren't the best.
But after watching the highlights and seeing it from a different one, it was clearly a fumble.
He took two steps and had possession.
Good thing we won the game.

Yes, and congradulations also on the moot point. Your all dum not nowing this. In spelling, sometimes you win and sometimes you loose.
Off with the comedy and onto the subject, I think he fumbled as he made two moves. If you just need to make a football move, he did. It would have been best if we had a camera shot from the sideline. No way they overturn that play. Better throw and we dont even talk about a missed field goal.
