@4WhomJBellTolls @ScottHevel The trouble with looking at a simplified summary is it misses out a vital part of the rule. Note 2 is the key part of the rule. You have to do the tuck BEFORE the ground

[Roger Goodgroves @RogerGoodgroves]

@nardaz @SalSports One already had possession (completed control, body parts and a football move) the other, having not yet completed all three elements, needs to survive the ground and didn't ! So many don't understand the rules.

[Roger Goodgroves @RogerGoodgroves]

@refhard2 @RefObserver17 It would be a field pick up. Replay can only pick up if the lineman wasn't downfield, not judge on if he was engaged legitimately.

[Roger Goodgroves @RogerGoodgroves]

@ukbear03 @footballzebras Actually, the guy in the teal hat serves as a communication link between the on-field game officials and the replay booth. The sideline 'game day assistants' are also normally officials too, but not normally NFL officials.

[Roger Goodgroves @RogerGoodgroves]

@ProFootballTalk You are right that the definitions are the same, what you have failed to see is that Hurts controlled it with two feet already on the ground and then turned 180degrees (that's your football move right there). The TD overturn never had the football move.

[Roger Goodgroves @RogerGoodgroves]

@FLShockDoc @TheVicMonte You may want to check out the definition of a forward pass in 3-21-3-a in the NFL rule book. Sounds like you are mixing up the college rule where 2-19-2-a includes having to cross the NZ.

@bzref @footballzebras with split out WRs there only needs to be a "blade of grass" and they are considered off the line.

[Roger Goodgroves @RogerGoodgroves]

@Rate_the_Refs No, that's a rake not a facemask penalty

[Roger Goodgroves @RogerGoodgroves]

@L3TSGETFRANKY2 @bybrendanhowe The defender had 'control' (not posession) of the ball before the receiver touched it whilst out of bounds. That doesn't make the ball dead. If the OOB receiver had touched a loose ball it would make it dead.

@NeilLancefield @philaspin @PA He GIVES it to you and you SELL it to others?

[Roger Goodgroves @RogerGoodgroves]

@timVcarls @NFL @NFLOfficiating Did your team lose today by any chance? Just a guess :-)

[Roger Goodgroves @RogerGoodgroves]

@xinellumekim @NFLOfficiating @NFL That one is ignored for all teams. IT should be called but it isn't https://t.co/FCDwiSdQtY

[Roger Goodgroves @RogerGoodgroves]

@NickCianci1 @NFLOfficiating Under the rules at the time, that was the correct call. He needed to survive the ground. Under the revised catch rule his extra steps and reach are football moves and complete the process

[Roger Goodgroves @RogerGoodgroves]

@satcheluk @NFLOfficiating If someone gets in the way, who is to say it wouldn't have got to the LOS unimpeded? Unless it's VERY obvious it was never getting close. then the benefit of the doubt will be applied.

[Roger Goodgroves @RogerGoodgroves]

@SpaceKarenFraud @NFLOfficiating no

[Roger Goodgroves @RogerGoodgroves]

@whistl3r @therealNFLguru @L_Taker20 It's consistent with all other definitions of a forward pass in the rule book.

[Roger Goodgroves @RogerGoodgroves]

@therealNFLguru @L_Taker20 There are two points, where the ball is released and where caught. If caught is in front of the release it's a forward pass

[Roger Goodgroves @RogerGoodgroves]

@the3rdbowl @NFLOfficiating Someone who officiates using NFL rules but not in the NFL. I can give you an honest assessment of calls if you care to know the facts or you can continue to assume the refs are wrong

[Roger Goodgroves @RogerGoodgroves]

@mikefreemyer @NFLOfficiating What time and Q and what specifically is your issue. I don't know which play you mean. If it was a scoring play, then it's not replay assist it's a full replay review

[Roger Goodgroves @RogerGoodgroves]

@SpaceKarenFraud @NFLOfficiating I don't know the play just going from the photo

[Roger Goodgroves @RogerGoodgroves]

@SpaceKarenFraud @NFLOfficiating why? the player touching it is inbounds, If the other guy touched the loose ball? I would agree with you
