Fitzgerald Incompletion = Goldson Interception

Syxton · 2009-12-16T11:26:29-08:00

I sitting here at my desk today reading up on my niners and I start thinking about Monday nights game. I remember that great play where Fitzgerald goes long and looks like he catches it but Goldson rips the ball out in the endzone. The Cards review it and it is ruled an incomplete pass. This is where I'm confused. The ball never hit the ground, so it is either a catch or and interception....right?

Actually when Goldson rolls over with the ball in his hands the ball ends up touching the ground a lot.

It's a tricky play to figure out, but I think they got it right.

actually it did hit the ground... if we can find a good replay you will see it slip out of Goldsons hands and the tip of the ball hits the ground. One of the few good calls by the Refs.

Its after he ripped it from Fitzgeralds hands.

The ball hit the ground billy.

Even if it didn't the refs can only overturn what is being challengeg, weather Fitz madet he grab.

We had to challenge again to see if Goldston caught it. But we were out of challenges anyways. Sing prolly would of blew a challenge if we had one on that play.

Pretty sure that is false. If it was an int the ref could have reversed it using Cards challenge. They review the entire play.

most here are saying it hit the ground.

the ref said it hit the ground.

the MNF crew said it hit the ground.

and the replay showed it hit the ground.

So for the Niner Talkers scoring this at home, the ball NEVER hit the ground, the refs screwed us and if it wasn't for this blatant f**k up we'd be in the playoffs this year.
