Refs call Martez for illegal hit on sack - PICTURE EVIDENCE

The catch was a catch... The ball can touch the turk.. However he had clear control of it the entire time.

The penalty was BS.

I hope they change that rule regardless. There needs to be slightly bigger window of the ball being caught and hitting the ground. If it happens simultaneously, or very close to it, the physics of the force on the ground plays a role. When you watch it in slow motion it make it appear it does not.

I also hope that helmet to helmet hits become something that can be challenged in the future. That is a severe penalty that does not take into account the dynamics of hitting, only the sound. The defender could make a clean hit only to get a flag thrown by a QB slightly moving their head, much like the NBA flop.

Yeah, but he had two hands on the top/side of the ball and was using the ground for control, doesn't he have to have something underneath the ball?

Thanks for digging that up ... fingers are below the seams but the ball is contacting the ground also? ... I guess I'll just be glad it wasn't a game-changer and the replacement refs weren't around to award the Eagles a safety or something on the play,
