Murphy had his butt on the ground, but his body (torso) was still going to the ground. It’s the textbook case of how the catch/ground rule works.

All of the other catches that were disputable had something else to muddy the judgment call. I do believe that the determination of a catch has gotten very nebulous in the effort to make a “pro catch” in a different class than college or high school. It definitely needs offsesason refinement.

Some of the judgment calls have been correct according to the rules, even though it seemingly could go another way. And, as far as disagreement with the officials, I think you will see we have found much more in the way of controversy in Week 4.

Thanks for the comments and look forward to your input!

You said “Keep in mind that a player, once the receiver lands solid to the ground, the process of the catch is finished.”

Tell that to Louis Murphy.

I can’t believe the audacity of you Ben.

All you do is say how the ref was correct. Are they ever wrong?

Wow,

You truly are despicable. You can sit here and say that the Walker “catch” was a touchdown, but still think that the Louis Murphy catch was not?
