Patriots fans stumping for a rule that literally won a game, secured a division championship AND likely gave them homefield advantage throughout the playoffs -- even tho they benefited from a missed call on the same rule via Brandin Cooks vs the Texans??? Guys, that's so surprising

Jiminy Christmas! Shoes! posted:This is the same opinion I've had on the catch rule forever. I don't think there is a great obvious solution. It's more than a little funny that yours is the loudest defense of a lovely rule and ruling among a significant number of posters who have even been qualifiying their posts with "I hate the Steelers, but that's a touchdown" I mean, I'm still bemused you had the stones to say that I'm the un-self-aware one in this dumb b.s.

Jiminy Christmas! Shoes! posted:You have spent the last 48 hours crowing about "HOMER PATRIOTS FANS", despite being the living embodiment of a Steelers homer. I'm just saying the call was bullshit. Im not the one rules lawyering myself through hoops to justify a cheap win when it was exactly that -- a win the Pats don't deserve. It's pretty easy for you to just recognize that and move on, but that's just not the Patriot Way

Jiminy Christmas! Shoes! posted:The call was correct. The rule is bullshit. Most people here agree on this. I'm not justifying anything, we're talking about what changes should be made to the catch rule in the future and I'm skeptical that it will get better. I'm sorry that you are personally offended by this discussion. Maybe take a breather. I'm not sure how you can be so tone deaf. I've literally been making fun of you FOR 48 HOURS!!!

Mr. Nice! posted:And yeah i'm probably a moron but still there needs to be as much subjective bias removed as possible to a situation. The process rule does occasional bad outcomes but provides a quickly applicable and clear cut standard. 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

little munchkin posted: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 Fair, but there was both uncalled defensive holding by Rowe, and uncalled offsides by 2 Pats players, so you get no concessions from me

Turdsdown Tom posted:wahh 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

evilweasel posted: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. I've been waiting for this turn since Sunday, but sadly everyone else is rules lawyering, and you are in fact the 1st person to say this

Mr. Nice! posted: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. You are incorrect, as the rule is inconsistently applied. CF: The Patriots victory sealing TD vs the Texans this very season. Everything said after is dismissable due to the false premise.

Joe Flacco hasn't had a functioning, healthy offensive line in 3+ seasons, and his best WRs are Mike Wallace and the ghost of Jeremy Maclin. I can't imagine why he dumps off every play and his numbers suck

the_steve posted:I try not to ignore anybody, if only because I like watching retards try to asspull reasons for how that was totally a legit victory for the Patriots and not a giftwrapped screwjob from New York. No, it was Ben Roethlisberger throwing a redzone INT that lost the game, not the fortutitous taking points off of the scoreboard after the great Patriots players allowed a 70 yard catch and run followed a blown coverage TD. They intercepted on the do-over. Get it right.

three posted:Is "Useless backup X" better than James Harrison? Seems odd. The Steelers have been dropping their OLBs into pass coverage all season thanks to the d-line getting pressure without blitzing (they're 2nd in sacks behind Jax), and 40 year-old James Harrison can't run with the young bucks anymore. Brady isolated him in coverage last year, and it didn't go well

Deebo can't cover anymore, even in zone, so every time he sees the field it's a telegraphed pass rush. Also, his contract was minimal, so he didn't clear waivers due to that
