    Tanny was getting hit as he threw causing the pass to be a little behind

    Ok- so how are toe drag catches at the OB lines considered catches? That's just not consistent. And if you call it on the field it needs "incontravertible" evidence to overturn it on replay. It was clearly home-cooking.

    And I'd like to punch the MFer Gene Steatore square in the mug. He ranks up there in the puppet mouth category as high "Dr." Fauci. If a ref called the sky green to a particular team's advantage, Steatore would say "well, at the moment he called it, there was green in the spectrum of the sky color, so by the rule it was green at the time of the call. It was a good call."

    Steatore has absolutely ZERO CREDIBILITY in my book. I don't know why the league and the networks trot him out there unless they believe the entire NFL fandom are window lickers.

    Julio would have been wide open if the pass was thrown outside though. Then no tip toe/heel controversy needed.

    And Henry could have had 200 yards rushing if only he had not made a few wrong cuts..... I'm not arguing the validity of your point but can't see any reason for it. Seems pretty nit pick to me for a QB who is rated 3rd in the NFL per PFF despite having to face the pass blocking he has had. If only he was more perfect?

    Just like the moronic arguments about RT and how we should have kept Kelly. Quess is our highest rated OL guy and 7th overall for all NFL OTs.

    Of all the things to find to criticize you criticize a TD pass and catch where we got screwed by the refs.

    so you’re suggesting the call wasn’t worth criticizing? It was an egregious call as was the no safety in overtime.

    I’m criticizing there was CLEARLY home cooking. It “tarnishes” NFL league credibility to have that occur.

    Get a new bowl of Cheerios. Somebody obviously has pissed in yours.

    On toe drag catches, the receiver is falling forwards. In Julio's case he's falling backwards. When you're falling backwards your heel naturally follows your toe and the entire foot has to be in bounds.

    This is how the Outkick 360 guys explained it.

    I’m pretty sure Soxcat’s reply was directed at Geronimo.

    What are you talking about. It was a crap call. We got screwed. When did I suggest it was a good call? Reading comprehension an issue?

    Ok so it falls in the completion of catch rule. Still his heel was not incontrovertibly on the line.
