The thing that I am most disappointed with is there seems to be no delineation to the act of making a catch or to the act of going to the ground.
How far does the WR have to go before he goes to the ground before it is no longer the act of catching the ball. How far after hitting the ground does going to the ground last.
Calvin Johnson was actually getting up from the ground when he lost the ball.
Jennings lost the ball after getting his third step down out of bounds before going to the ground.
I watch when a WR took 2 steps out of bounds before hitting the ground, it was a catch before he hit the ground, but apparently if you go to the ground after making a catch getting both feet in bounds, taking two steps out of bound then hit the ground, the ground can cause an incompletion.
Where does the act of catching the ball end? My opinion is when possession is established by normal criteria. 2 feet down and a football related move. Which should include that 3rd step.
Going to the ground should end when your downward momentum is stopped. Either movement has stopped or the WR starts getting up without halting his momentum.
I want to go out like my Grandpa did. Peacefully in his sleep.
Not screaming in terror like his passengers.
