<H1 class=entry-header>NFL agrees with officials on Buccaneers' disputed call
Click to expand...
Mike Pereira the NFL's vice president of officiating, has informed the Bucs he agrees with the instant replay reversal that resulted in an interception by the Dolphins' Jason Taylor Sunday.
On Monday, Pereira reviewed the controversial play that took place near the end of the first half of Sunday's 25-23 loss in Miami.
Bucs receiver Michael Clayton appeared to make an 11-yard catch at the Tampa Bay 15 with 1:43 remaining in the half. After Clayton's body hit the ground, the ball squirted out and into the hands of Taylor.

Referee Tony Corrente huddled with his crew and ruled the pass incomplete. But the play was reviewed and Corrente ruled that Clayton didn't maintain possession after he hit the ground. Taylor was awarded an interception.
Morris received an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty for arguing the call, setting up the Dolphins at the Bucs' 8-yard line. Two plays later, Kory Sperry's 5-yard touchdown catch gave Miami a 16-6 lead.

I seen this article and I thought I would share. I hope I didn't waste cyber space. lol
 
Go figure

I understand the call a little better now..

At the time seemed like a bad call

Thank you Mr. Manager of sports officials man..

This Bud light is for you!
 
it's funny reading their comments....the only thing I did agree with is that the NFL may change the rule this offseason...because that SHOULD have been a catch and the runner is down. But since they wrote the rule retarded....INT was the right call.

I agree. Imagine if that call went against us and the outcome of the game was reversed in the Bucs favor. It would have been a crushing blow to us and we ALL would have pointed at that call as the reason we lost, and why Miami's season was killed.

That being said, I'm glad we won the game. :thumbup:
 
So does mean the NFL will send a letter of apology to Jason Taylor for screwing him out of his record setting TD?!?!?!
 
Its the correct call...but a crappy rule. Those saying it was a bad call are not reading what the NFL is telling you. They are telling you it was right.

Whether or not the rule sucks...different story. See tuck rule...the worst rule in the NFL.
 
he already owns the record for most fumbles recoveries returned for TD's by a DE and I think he owns most INT's by a DE too.
 
To the people that think this rule is bad. Are you out of your mind? Do you not watch football? How in gods name is this a bad rule? It is a very good and necessary rule. Without it WRs that have to dive to make a catch wouldn't have to hold on to the ball when they hit the ground. That would make absolutely no sense. There is one loop hole to this rule though. HOLD ON TO THE F'N FOOTBALL. If the wideout did his job and caught the ball this wouldn't be an issue.
 
And to the person that compared this rule to the tuck rule. Not even close. The tuck rule gives the ref the ability to make a judgment call based on what he believes the QB was doing. This rule is very simple if the wideout drops the ball when he hits the ground it's an incompletion. If anyone disagrees, please explain.
 
He always sides with the officials no matter what the call is.
