It was according to thew new Brady rules. Since Brady got hurst because he was sacked low you are not allowed to motion low on a QB for a sack. You have to stay high and take him down that way. I wonder what Johny U's numbers would have been like if he got to play under those rules.
And that Raider TD called back at the end of the half was not a catch. The ball hit the ground. Unless we're talking about another play.

every rule is taken way too seriously lol.
too many holding calls, esspecially ones that are irrelevant to the play; pass interference is a hit or miss & of course this bullshit over celebration rule; did you see what they hit the Eagles up for? that was NOTHING.

There was a lot of controversy over that catch for a reason. The controversy wasnt coming from Raider supporters, it was coming from everywhere. The fact that it was overturned made it even more controversial. Had it been called an incomplete pass on the field and the booth had to prove, without a shadow of a doubt that the call on the field was wrong, thats one thing. But it was called a TD on the field, which means in the booth they had to see evidence beyond a shadow of a doubt that it wasnt a TD. There is a reason since then youve heard so many analysts etc making joking comments such as "I dont know what a touchdown is anymore". Because they think its a joke that a player catches the ball in the end zone, gets both feet down, his knee down, his thigh down, and damn near lays on the ground before letting go of the ball is not called a TD. Again, even die hard Charger fans I know have been telling me ever since how that call was bullshit and that if it happens to the Patriots...or maybe the Steelers, whatever the rule is will change.

Just look at the video
At 1:45
You'll see that the ball clearly comes out. The rule states that you have to maintain control the whole way and basically have to get up with the ball when it comes to TD catches or when falling out of bounds. He didn't do that. If this was in the field of play it would have been called a catch and stayed that way most likely.
The refs used that same logic to reverse the Palomalu INT agasins tthe Colts a few years back. The league later came in and said they were wrong. I guess that rule doesn't apply to INTs. Only TDs.
I think the rule sucks. If you go down with the ball and lose it while you are coming up it should be a fumble, not an incomplete, but the rule is the rule and in this case it was called right.
As for it being the Pats or Steelers, inside 2 minutes they wouldn't even review it, like the Warner fumble last year. They'd just call it a TD and leave it at that.

^na, the N-Zone is different in my mind.
look at it, he goes up, catches the ball in the air, comes down on his two feet with possesion = TOUCHDOWN, play over.
anything after the initial catch doesn't matter, for me.
