Ask me about Derek Carr's stolen MVP awards, those dastardly refs, and, oh yeah, having the absolute worst fucking gimmick in The Football Funhouse.
The catch rule was applied correctly, but that doesn't mean that the catch rule isn't dumb.

Barnwell proposed convening a panel of half ex-WR's and half ex-DB's, who would immediately vote on questionable receptions.

Basically, the "do 50 drunks in a bar agree on X", standard for NFL rules.

Even with the strict interpretation of the rule, it's still subject to the people ruling on it, and in this instance ( and others), it lead to a game changing outcome with significant consequences. It's not good optics, and the rule has caused more problems than it has solved

You don't understand what subjective means in this context. There isn't a subjective nature to the current rule. If you go to the ground in the process of catching you must maintain possession throughout.

Also you feel that it's only caused problems because you don't notice all the situations where any of the proposed rules or the old rules would have problems.

Like every game there are catches that are clearly ruled as not catches by the standard that go without any fanfare that would become ambiguous and game changing.

Lol you Pats fans really hate hearing that the refs handed you a game, even after giving up a 69 yard catch and run, setting up the go-ahead score with under 30 seconds left in the game. It literally took taking points off of the scoreboard for you to win. Nothing is going to change that

why would we hate hearing that? it owns. you guys lost in pretty much several of the most infuriating ways possible, at once. you lost to a last minute brady nonsense in a game you dominated AND to an obnoxious rule AND to your quarterback throwing to the entire patriots secondary at once leading to a game-sealing interception on a game you had going to overtime at a bare minimum locked down.

its so glorious that we can be like lol yeah that's a terrible rule it should be fixed because that makes it better

According to Brad Townsend of the Dallas Morning News, Cuban said Monday he’s not interested in the Panthers, or any other NFL team.

“Why would I buy an NFL team if I think the league is in decline?” Cuban said.

Cuban believes the NFL has overextended itself and over saturated its product. He thinks the upcoming move of the Raiders to Las Vegas is a bad idea, and has several other observations about the state of the league as well.

as a patriots fan i still think the catch rule is dumb, but the steelers lost any sympathy when afterwards they decided to hurriedly run a play with 10 seconds and no timeouts then throw the ball into a guy surrounded by five defenders
Yeah, not sure why they didn't just spike the ball to stop the clock, take the three points and send it to overtime.

Running a play was the smart thing to do, but the second it was as obviously dead as that play was he should've spiked it.

I think Ben was supposed to throw the ball away if it didn't work, so they were getting one final chance to win and then take it into overtime on the next down. But instead he threw it to the guy covered by five people.

Yeah he is. Looked terrible in his first game back against the Jets after playing just the 1st half, looked great against Oakland playing a big snapload while Peters was suspended, and played decent against the Chargers. He's basically a CB3/4 with Peters/Nelson and Mitchell all getting more snaps

the main benefit of signing Revis is that Phillip Gaines has been a healthy scratch since, which is vital to the Chiefs chances of winning a game

Yeah, you can find an extended stay hotel for under $400 for the week. If he splits it with a teammate that's better. It's also a tax write-off.

I can be frugal as gently caress but this wasn't a situation where he had no choice but to sleep in his car. Weird story.
