The problem was it was called out on the field. If it was called a TD on the field and the Titans challenged, then it probably stays a TD. It was close anyway you look at it, too close to be overturned either way.

When the guys tap their toes on the sideline, if the rest of their foot came down it would be in bounds, too.

If a guy was facing the field and he caught the ball on his tippie-toes, and then his heel came down afterwards out of bounds...it would be called OB.

It is kinda like the continuation play when a guy catches the ball and is on his way down. He has to maintain control all the way to the ground.

When a guy catches a ball near the sideline and makes an effort to keep his feet in bounds, he has to maintain that. If his heel comes down first in bounds but the continuation of that has the toe coming down out, then he is out.

I think that if Graham would have been able to keep his toe in the air then he would've been OK...and he came within a blade of grass from doing that.

It is all getting very confusing, though. It seems like they are replaying more and more stuff as time goes on. Getting to be like rocket surgery.

Whether you think you can or think you can't...you're right!

If he had been wearing short cleats we would never have this conversation. That being said his front toe cleat touched a white blade of grass. That makes it out of bounds. Period. The hip was down and his leg was down but his knee was not down when he touched the paint.....not yet.
Now to address the toe tap and dragging toe debate. Two toe taps and two feet in bounds is legal. When any part of the body touches it is out of the field of play. So you have two feet brought out of bounds. If you land on just your heels(for whatever reason) and hopped out of bounds without dropping your toes that would be legal. Danno is right.....it was the right call. However, if the refs had given us the TD it would have been hard to over turn. The referees did not want us to win.

they should just hurry up and rig the whole field with lasers and motion sensors and GPS transponders in the ball and cool stuff, then get robots to play the games!

Polamalu, or Ed Harris, can't remember which one of those long-haired clowns a couple years back, intercepted a ball in a roll to the sidelines and his hair flopped out of bounds. He got up and ran. Upon further review, his hair flopped out of bounds, therefore he was out of bounds.

Now THERE's an instance of out of bounds that I can GET BEHIND. I abhor dreads and long hair.
