  bad call. i have seen receivers catch the ball in the endzone with both feet down and get blasted losing the ball and its called no catch. i believe it happend to the raiders this year.

  Good to see a Toledo boy make a big play.

  I think it is basically, he made a "football move" and then regrouped and re extended, but it had already crossed the goal line by then.

  thats on a running play, on a pass play you must maintain possession throughout the catch no matter where you are on the field.

  once he crosses the plane then everything else is over?

  Yeah, he was right. Arun and a pass are 2 different calls.

  Manning with all day to throw.

  Yeah, but it is dead once he established and crossed the goal line. He then reached out again and the ball was kicked out of his hands.
• Non

  

  I can't remember seeing a play like that.
  
  Every other time the receiver was going to the ground and had to maintain it. Even in the end zone.
  
  That was different since he reached over and made a slight move after the catch but still seems kind of unclear what the rules are.

  A run and a pass are two different situations, but I think he did enough to establish possession before it was kicked out!

  i am just saying, i have seen plays where the catch was made, both feet down in the endzone, player falls out of bounds and drops the ball, no catch.
• wes_mantooth

  

  Colts are going to score too quick, just like Arizona did last year.
• Non

  

  Manning driving it down pretty easy.
  
  Saints won the challenge so three timeouts. Another factor.
• mallymal614

  This may sound dumb, but should the Colts take their time in scoring if they get close? Do they want to given Brees another shot at it or take their chances with coin toss in overtime?

  Garcon is reppin' the Mount not only all game but all season. Malcolm Jenkins is having a solid game IMO.
