*one fewer ringIf that's not a catch, the Eagles should have one less ring and the Patriots should have one more ring.
Did you watch the video? The ball bounced off the ground out of his hands.Guys why are we still debating this, it's over. It was a catch. The ball can hit the ground, as long as he maintains control. Case closed. The folks who keep bringing this up need to check their fragile egos, admit they were wrong and move on. There's better things in life than nit picking one play in a 45 point route
Yes I did, he had control and possession to the ground, the ball can move when it hits the ground as long as the pass catcher maintains control. It's a catch. The ground didn't help him maintain control and it didn't make him lose control. Get over it dude, it's a catch. The refs thought it was a catch, Cleveland thought it was a catch, 80+% of people here think it's a catch. Not sure why you've chosen this hill to die on there buddyDid you watch the video?

Nonsense! Overturning this play would have demoralized the Patriots causing an unbelievable chain of events that would have turned the game completely around.Who cares. The Pats won by 5 TDs.
No one is posting slow motion replays of this catch but 4/5 are saying it was good based on memory.
Now that you can see the slow-mo replay, what do you all think? Was Henry able to heroically overcome the ball bouncing off the ground (see picture below) to maintain control?

Come on, you can't prove jack with a still frame on a play like this. It's 100% about whether he survived the ground. That still frame would mean something if Henry had run with the ball but this is a leaping catch, he's got to survive the ground before any of it counts, and quite frankly, I saw the ball move as he hit the ground.How pathetic is it that you felt the need to post this BS thread despite being schooled in the Post game thread over this subject. The STILL shot doesn't show what you think it does. And neither does your video. And it certainly doesn't change the rule that applies.
Here are stills from YOUR video. You can see his middle finger and ring finger are UNDER the ball. So, NO. The ball didn't hit the ground.

You were wrong in the post game thread and you're wrong now.
Feel free to eat crow..
EDIT: P.S. The your still shot only shows a black space under the tip of the ball. That's what happens when someone has finger under it..
Could a mod please LOCK this thread after Jlaff posts his apology to everyone?
This is literally incorrect. if the ground knocks the ball loose in your hands it's an incompletion on plays like this. The rulebook is pretty clear on this one.Yes I did, he had control and possession to the ground, the ball can move when it hits the ground as long as the pass catcher maintains control. It's a catch. The ground didn't help him maintain control and it didn't make him lose control. Get over it dude, it's a catch.
