James looked like he had established possession and broken the plane, which would've made it a td. Same thing with the Dez catch, the Calvin Johnson catch, etc. You guys might think I'm crazy, but the Dez catch never touched the ground, and he established possession in the end zone. That's a catch to me. Calvin Johnson had possession all the way down and was in bounds. That's a catch to me.

The rule as written now is a travesty. Take away Steelers and Patriots fans, and I'd bet 90%+ of football fans would say that's easily a catch.
