This should of been a closer game then it was but after multiple replays, how can the refs not call that a catch. He obviously had 2 both feet tapped and control of the ball. The official doesnt even provide any detail on why he made the call and just said the ruling stands as called. It looked like an easy call and cost the team halftime momentum and 3 points. The officials are definitely not the reason this team lost but this call was baffling.
The sad fact is that when you're a 1-4 team you don't get the calls. The refs were only too happy to make the catch signal later in the game when the Broncos receiver made a similar play. It sucks, I'm not happy about it. But, there are a litany of bad calls the refs have made against the Jets this season and it will probably continue unless they put up some W's.
It almost seems like every game has that one controversial call against the Jets. I still don't get why that wasn't a catch.
The Salas drop just before the half was a killer as well. We would have been in field goal range, and if we made it, it would have been a one score game going into the half. We still need two new wide receivers on this team in the worst way.
He baubled the ball as his toes touched, and he secured it mid air before landing out of bounds. You have to secure it before/as your toes touch.
The announcers were just as perplexed it wasn't reversed and were commenting how atrocious the crew was calling this game. Worst part is when the bring in the "expert" to give their opinion of the call and they're just homers for the refs. Pathetic calls all season long against us but that's unfortunately part of the game.
Decker's catch was not a catch. It was completely different from Thomas'...( was it Thomas) either way, he caught it with his hands and had full possession from the start, Decker got one hand on it but didn't fully possess until he pulled it into his body at which time, he was out of bounds. The Salas drop is absolutely inexecusable
Damaryious Thomas readjusted the ball down near his knee and it was still a catch for him. There was no bobble as well. Go rewatch the play again. He secured the ball the same time the left foot slightly tapped. I just watched it again in slow mo and it is definitely pretty close but he has it secured as his left foot tapped.
Terrible call, deckers been one of the few bright spots, he is allot better than I realized. Shame the offense in such disarray and wasting one of deckers prime years.
Sure, whatever. Anyway the fact is only one foot was still touching inbounds when he fully secured the ball. It was the right call.
Like i said, go rewatch it again and put it in slow mo if your poor ass can afford a HDTV enough to have that feature and youll see.
