In the past that would have been incomplete, but they changed things slightly before the season and most of the time that is called a fumble now.

While we have heard over the years how the Pats get the calls (even tough the "tuck rule" call was correct), the Pats were victims of a bad call like this in SB 38. The receiver caught the ball and was turning upfield when the Pats knocked it out. It was called incomplete. But because the Pats won, no one cared.

Being at the game, and seeing the replay, thought it was either a catch and a knee down, or he didn't catch it at all. Don't think there is much to whine about there.

Of course, being a card carrying memeber of the "Polian Rules" club, you wouldn't...nice to know you're a consistent Colt rumpswab

ya because being in the 3rd deck is a better view than the tv at home.

17th row, 40 yard line lower level, behind the Jax bench.

section 138, row 17, seat 8.

You see what you want to see. Either he caught it, and his knee was down, or he never had control to call it a catch. Colts laid the wood, were much more physical than the kittes. hats off to them, they played a great game. Glad we pulled it out. How bout that push off on Gonzo?? Poor guy, can't catch a break.

I thought he had his knee down at first, but CBS showed a still frame clearly displaying the ball coming out with neither knee on the ground.

It was a fumble.
