[QUOTE="idbowman, post: 244000, member: 2165"] That was the right call, I think...well, ok, they missed a pretty clear offensive pass interference call, but those go uncalled almost all the time on those last play of the game scrums. I know everyone, everywhere is complaining about the TD call, but it [i]was[/i] a good call. Possession isn't "official" until a receiver/defender touches down with the ball; by the time the players' feet hit the ground, both the receiver and the defender had a claim to possession; simultaneous possession is always awarded to the offense. Silly as it seems, the fact that the defender seems to have had the ball "first" and seemed to have better positioning of the ball once they came down with it, the [i]rules[/i] are written to take that into effect. I'm pretty sure if the usual refs where calling that, the result would have been the same. [/QUOTE]
