Yeah, that was a bad call. It shows that they can get things wrong even with replay.

It was good call. i think he did not have both feet on the ground when he made the catch. He started picking up his foot and then put it out of bounds.

Not a big fan of instant replay. I never can quite celebrate any play, without the fear that it could be called back. Not very fun and who benefits? No one.

Well, except for the team that has a incorrect call against them.

That would be EVERYBODY at one time or another. Again who does that really benefit? No one, that's who. Let the refs decide the game and it will add to the over-all enjoyment of it.

Yeah, its Gaffney responsibility to ensure he gets his feet down...he had time and I think he rushed it. But its moot because i believe the next play fred davis carved up the secondary with like a 25 yard gain. I expect next game Armstrong and Gaffney will clean up their play and be more effective.
