Wow! I would like to see the NFL rule book here.

If your 2nd foot lands OB, its an incomplete pass. This was a no-brainer. It was the right call no question.

My contention is that the heel of the 2nd foot touched inbounds pre any tippy toe of that foot out of bounds. But there is now an implication there has to a complete foot inbounds (when I thought that tips of both feet inbounds always counted as TDs)

The first foot was in. The heel of the 2nd foot was in, then the toe flicked one abnormaly long piece of grass painted white.
If had originally been called a good catch, NO WAY they overturn it

Wasnt his left butt cheek on the ground, before the toe went out? I always heard one cheek equals 2 feet.....

Exactly what I thought. His butt hit before inbounds 1st then foot hit the ground. I still call BS it was a TD. Doesnt matter now...Saints still got the win in the end.

Halo

I never saw the second foot ever touch the white, even the "grass blade." I saw it wave over the white and not touch out.

I may have missed the "other angle" you guys are talking about. I thought I saw every angle possible. We'll have to search for this on youtube. Fun conversation though.

Danno

The replay after commercial cleary showed white grass moving, similar to a fair ball in baseball.

His toe definitely touched OB before his knee hit. If I knew how to do youtube I could show you guys.

I rarely take zebra's sides since they so often screw up, but there is no doubt in my mind they made the right call.

Oh I beg to differ...

Here is where it gets grey.

If you get your toes down and you go out of bounds... its a catch. So the whole foot doesn't have to be in bounds!!!

What makes the heel of the foot any different.

I also like the Madden rule... one knee equals 2 feet.

That was a TD. Yes, I can understand how a ref would have called it not a TD.
Instant replay. Saints calling a challenge, you can see that was a TD. All of Graham was in. He even, it looked like he purposely, arched his back as to make sure his body was in.
His foot, the tip end of it, could have been seen as on the line.
Maybe. Hardly. Not really. He was in.

then we had a TD from the Titans in which the player was not in the EZ at all ruled as a TD.
Ok, whatever.
Explain it to me.
Yes, I understand football is fast and there are rules.
The officials can sometimes call really questionable plays , those either neither ones, in your favor or not. I know the Saints have had some of those favors. I know other teams have had some of those too.
This time was not an either-niether situation.

I am fair because Harper was wrong after that play when he grabbed a facemask.
