Lets talk this through, Nailor had the ball pinned to his leg prior to the defender grabbing at it, as they went to the ground it didnt hit the ground, did the defender ever clearly take possession away from Nailor as they rolled through the play prior to the whistle? I dont under stand how Nailor possessed the ball first, never lost the ball, that I saw, but yet they called it an INT and they didnt see anything to over turn it?
Did I miss an angle that showed the defender ever having sole possession of the ball prior to the whistle?
I was pretty full yesterday so.... I might have seen that one wrong, but it looked like a catch to me, ugly catch, but a catch none the less.

I saw and felt the same way, though it did seem arguably "incomplete" when the players both went to the ground. I also thought that it was interesting how Nailor did seem to keep at least one hand firmly on the ball most or all of the way, and the receiver is supposed to win a "tie"...but, the kittens got the call.
I chalked it up to "home cookin' officiating" when all was said and done.

It was a bullshit call, at the very least it was joint possession which goes to the offense.
Bottom line: JJ needs to make a little better throw there. Learning moment.

I’m actually sort of fine with this call. It’d didn’t really feal like Nailor “really” had control of it as he was just sort of pressing it against his leg. Then the defender controlled it “first”, before Nailor controlled it. I get the discussion, and who really “caught” it first as Nailor clearly had a hand on it first?
I just have trouble getting too worked up over something where I have to dig deep into the semantics of what a catch is.

Same. When the rolled, Nailor lost control to the defender. He pulled back, but the ball was more likely possessed by the defender as they rolled. I liked how the handled that, they went to the discussion right away on a tough call.
I was more upset at reversing that catch by Jets. It might have been a bobble, but was called a catch on the field and then they went to review and overturned it. Didn't see that being overturned except that NY seems to overturn most catches for the Vikes this year.

Does anybody really know what a catch is anymore, what plays are reviewable, or even what plays can be challenged. Seems it all changes depending on what teams are playing and which team it benefits at the time.

when whats his name was given a catch with the ball trapped against his helmet/shoulder pad for the Giants some years ago... by that same definition, this was a catch and possession by Nailor IMO.

IMO it would have been a catch, but at one point the ball was in the defenders gut with 2 hands. Nailor only had one hand on it and at that point it was out of his possession.
