Perrera's Weekly spot on NFL Network (1 Viewer)

[Weapon of Mass Instruction]

The Mike Sims Walker TD? Should have been no catch. See it here. This is the famous "he had 3 feet down" call. Called no TD on field and REVERSED to be a TD on reviews.

He also said that the Jacoby Jones TD against the Titans in week 2 was ALSO an incorrect call and should have been NO TD.

This call is the most inconsistently interpreted rule in the book. It is like flipping a coin when the ref goes in the peepshow.

If I remember correctly, week 1 featured a NO TD review on this that cost someone a win.

They shouldn't have to be relied on not getting "jobbed", instead they should score more points and play defense. You/they are just making excuses.

 

[Buffaloes]

They lost by 20 points. 2 calls isn't going to make up 20 points.

Score more points.

Thanks!

Those two calls are the least of the Titans problems. I'd rank their problems in this order...

1. Defense

2. Offense

3. Special teams

4. Collins' age and Young as the 'future guy'

5. Two bad calls in a blowout.

Personally, I think two feet in and it should be a TD. But thats not the rule. With the rule the way it is, the Raiders should not have had a TD (and was called correctly) week 1. Last week MSW should have had a TD (and it was called correctly.) I don't know what NFL Network was saying, but I thought it was pretty clearly a TD. What was their argument?

Apparently the VP of Officiating said it was NOT a TD. You have to "complete the catch" which Walker didn't do (if I'm thinking of the right play).The NFL makes all these silly tweaks every year in an attempt to make it easier for the officials, when in reality all it does is confuse things. Possession and two feet has been a completion since cavemen first started playing football, I don't know why that's so difficult for the NFL to grasp.

I just got though watching it, did you follow the link provided?I actually love this piece with the VP of officiating and sometimes miss it on NFL Network, I'm glad it's available on-line.

Guys, I agree that the Titans have suXXored so far...doesn't change the fact that this is an incorrect +7 in both games.

Titans may very well win the Houston game without this.

Who knows what happens vs Jax, prob didn't matter but you never know.

My primary point is that the enforcement of this rule is completely arbitrary.

No, he most definitely did not say the Jacoby Jones TD against the Titans in week 2 was incorrect. What he said confirmed Jacoby Jones' catch.Here is the criteria he gave for the ball coming out on first contact with the ground compared to "a second act" after initial contact with the ground:

6:00

"... when you're going to the ground and you hit the ground, at sometime after that point, if there is a second act of a defensive player coming in and knocking the ball out, or if you roll over a couple of times and then the ball comes out, then you have a catch and the touchdown."

Then here are his exact words when he mentioned Jacoby Jones TD catch, 7:15

Rich: "It seems like this has happened every week... this year in particular it seems like we're talking about this every single week."

Pereira: "You know it does, we had the first play in Oakland. And then we had the couple of different plays afterwards... the Jacoby Jones play where he hit the ground, then rolled over and it came out when he hit the second time..."

Pereira didn't make a direct statement about Jacoby's catch yay or nay. But he did state clearly about it that the ball came out after rolling over and contacting the ground a second time. Which is his "second act" he was talking about and which does not, according to what he'd just said in the segment, negate a catch.

 

[GregR_2]

Further, Pereira did explicitely review the Jacoby Jones catch in week 2's online bonus segment at http://www.nfl.com/videos/nfl-videos/09000...-bonus-coverage

"This was a catch and this needs to stay a catch."

 

[Lobary]

The OP must not be very smart if he thinks Pereira said the Jacoby Jones TD was not a catch.
