Titans trade for Julio Jones

Yes, you are wrong for micro analyzing what should have been a TD. Tanny completed 67% of his passes despite having a bunch of them dropped. He was under pressure most of the game. He throws a TD pass which isn't perfect and the refs got it wrong. The pass was good enough to catch, was caught, was in bounds. but but but if the pass had been 6 inches this way or that way........

 

Personally I think the rule should be reviewed. His toes touched before the heel so if it had been a “toe touch” where his heel never touched, it’s a TD.

 

Obviously I wanted the TD. But I think you guys are cherry picking this from a Titan fan perspective. It would be the right call if it happened against us.

If you step heel first and your toe goes out of bounds, it is out of bounds. The reason the toe drag is in bounds is because the part of your foot that touches out of bounds was already established as in bounds.

 

My problem with it is that I don’t think it’s been clearly established he was out of bounds. That’s wasn’t clear evidence.

 

That's fair and a different discussion.

My opinion is that it looked in bounds from the angle that everyone put up online, but it looks pretty definitively out of bounds from the other angle.

 

Fair opinion.

Another aspect is that it was ruled a TD on the field, so surely if there are 2 contradictory views upstairs, thats not enough to overrule?

 

I agree the rule is inconsistent. Half a cheek, heel and toes, just toes… needs to be cleaned up.

 

So many rules for a WR to catch a TD but a RB just the ball has to break the plane..so stupid

 

Agreed. The rule is fine and makes sense to me. The problem was the review. They have all the camera angles. If there isn't clear cut evidence to the contrary, you don't overturn the call on the field.
