What makes a catch?

Guys...

Great discussion here, a little more rational people here than have been voting on the web site... Post your vote..

Anyway... I wrote to a friend who was on the officiating crew... and here is what he said..

"In the NFL the philosophy is when in question it is not a catch. Either in the field or in the EZ. A player must have complete control and do a "football act." I thought my crew officiated it correctly. ... ball rolls in the receivers hand and then it is instantaneously knocked out. ...stayed with the ruling on the field. The receiver needed to put the ball away. Then possibly a catch. I hope this is clear."

Happy to see you guys are liking the plays and putting together a great discussion on them... It makes the effort worth my time..
