Yes, we played like s**t, but we still should have won, and here is why

How was this ruled a catch but not a touchdown? The tip of the ball broke the line and 1 knee=2 feet. We didn't lose this game. The refs won it for the rams. Once that ball breaks the plane of the endzone, its a touchdown, as long as they confirm that he kept control of the ball through the catch (He did according to them) Then how is this NOT a touchdown?

Nice screen grab. Yeah, no doubt about it. That is a TD.

We played just well enough to lose.

How can a guy at home (working only with his dvr) get a better view than the refs of a billion dollar operation????

Don't see how this wasn't seen by tv crew or refs if it was called a catch. Oh well

He still didnt have control of the ball at that point, you see it bobble loose towards the end when he gets full control....

Stop crying we had so many breaks through the game it shouldn't have gone down to that final drive we deserved to lose after the offense was still on bye week mode

It was ruled a catch -- not a bobble and a catch. The screen grab clearly shows Crabtree clutching the ball and it's clearly broken the goal line. It's a touchdown and should have been ruled a touchdown.

Bottom line? The refs blew this call. It happens. They're human. It doesn't explain why we played so poorly.

I'm usually rough on the refs but no way in hell I'm blaming this loss on the refs. Never in a million years.

This. There is a reason we're called Whiners. Threads like this. The refs didn't allow 8 sacks, the refs didn't overthrow receivers all day, the refs didn't get to the 1 down by 3 and fail to score even a field goal.
