Markus Rendell's blog ::Lions fans, Calvin Johnson caught a touchdown!










The               Detroit               Lions               were               the               victim               of               a               controversial               call               on               an               apparent               Calvin               Johnson               touchdown               catch               on               Sunday.

The               Calvin               Johnson               catch,               which               was               initially               called               an               incompletion,               was               reviewed               for               several               minutes               before               officials               let               the               play               stand               as               called.

If               you               look               at               the               Calvin               Johnson               catch               video,               the               call               the               referees               made               goes               against               football               logic.

The               Detroit               Lions               have               every               reason               to               be               angry               after               watching               the               replay               of               the               Johnson               touchdown               catch.

Whether               it               was               a               horrible               call,               horrible               interpretation               of               the               rules               or               just               an               NFL               rule               that               needs               to               be               addressed-it               was               a               painfully               obvious               touchdown.

The               Lions               found               out               the               hard               way               that               they               are               the               victims               of               that               controversial               call               during               the               season               opening               19-14               loss               to               the               Chicago               Bears.

What               happened               during               the               Calvin               Johnson               touchdown               catch               controversy?

Johnson               had               the               ball               in               his               hands               under               control               for               what               appeared               to               be               at               least               a               second.

That               seemed               like               an               eternity               in               football               terms.

Detroit               Lions               fans               have               to               feel               as               if               they               have               been               robbed.

Absolutely               robbed.

Trailing               the               Chicago               Bears               19-14               in               the               season               opener               for               both               teams,               Detroit               was               moving               down               the               field               for               the               apparent               go               ahead               touchdown.

Shaun               Hill,               who               was               playing               quarterback               for               an               injured               Matthew               Stafford,               tossed               up               a               pass               toward               the               end-zone               and               Calvin               Johnson               twisted               and               appeared               to               catch               the               ball               for               a               touchdown.

When               Johnson               hit               the               ground               the               ball               popped               loose-but               it               was               long               after               he               had               illustrated               control               of               the               ball.

He               was               actually               palming               the               ball               as               it               hit               the               ground.

He               was               palming               the               ball               for               crying               out               loud!

If               that               doesn't               illustrate               control               I               am               not               sure               what               NFL               officials               want.

If               there               ever               was               an               instance               where               someone               had               control               of               the               ball               before               hitting               the               ground,               Johnson               certainly               provided               enough               proof               that               he               had               the               ball               in               his               hands               and               his               grip.
               Maybe               Johnson               was               fully               intending               to               spike               the               ball               in               celebration.

It               was               one               of               the               easiest               calls               the               refs               could               have               made.

Yet,               the               officials               decided               it               was               not               a               touchdown               for               the               Lions.

Instead               of               leading               by               a               couple               of               points,               Detroit               was               forced               to               try               two               more               unsuccessful               attempts               at               the               end               zone               to               no               avail.

What               happened?

The               Lions               failed               to               get               a               score               or               first               down               and               the               Bears               ran               the               clock               out               after               taking               over               possession.

Let               the               Detroit               Lions               controversy               begin               full               throttle!
               The               announcers               went               over               some               mambo               jambo               about               the               catch               in               the               end               zone               needing               to               be               one               long               procedure.

Yet,               oddly               enough,               players               who               dive               for               the               end-zone               and               cross               diagonally               over               the               pylon               get               credited               for               touchdowns.

A               player               can               catch               a               ball               momentarily               and               tip               toe               his               feet               in               and               get               credit               for               a               touchdown.

Yet               the               Calvin               Johnson               catch               was               disallowed.

I               hate               to               see               a               call               determine               the               outcome               of               the               game.

This               was               a               brutal               example               of               how               officials               can               dictate               what               happens               during               crucial               moments               of               an               NFL               contest.

The               human               element               will               always               provide               moments               where               controversy               seems               to               follow.

This               situation               could               and               should               have               been               avoided               by               use               of               an               instant               replay               and               full               review.

Yet               the               officials               returned               and               let               the               play               stand               as               it               was               called               on               the               field               much               to               the               dismay               of               Lions               fans               everywhere.

It               must               have               been               crushing               to               feel               your               favorite               team               deserved               a               win               but               instead               felt               the               agony               of               defeat               because               of               a               person               who               is               supposed               to               moderate               the               game-not               dictate               the               outcome.
               It's               very               true               the               Bears               might               have               had               time               to               go               down               and               kick               a               field               goal---so               who               knows               what               would               have               transpired               if               the               touchdown               was               ruled               correctly.

But               that               was               one               of               the               absolute               worst               calls               I               have               ever               seen               dictate               the               end               of               a               football               game.

The               Detroit               Lions               certainly               deserved               a               better               fate.

Maybe               the               rule               should               be               interpreted               by               the               refs               exactly               as               it               was               on               the               field               during               this               season               opener.

If               that's               the               case,               the               rule               needs               to               be               changed.

The               Calvin               Johnson               catch               video               will               be               replayed               over               and               over               again               for               months               and               months.

I               can               even               see               the               NFL               issuing               an               apology               for               not               allowing               the               touchdown.

It               was               plain               and               clear--touchdown               for               the               Lions.

The               announcers               were               even               in               dismay.

Calvin               Johnson               was               as               shocked               and               confused               as               anyone               that               it               wasn't               even               initially               ruled               a               touchdown.
               Commentators               on               rival               network               CBS               also               seemed               shocked               after               watching               the               Calvin               Johnson               catch               video.

If               it               was               that               shocking               to               so               many               people,               how               could               the               catch               not               be               viewed               as               a               touchdown               by               officials               who               had               time               to               review               the               play?

They               had               time               to               make               a               basic               interpretation               of               the               rules               and               do               the               right               thing               and               avoid               controversy.

Bears               fans               could               not               have               even               felt               the               right               to               gripe               if               the               catch               was               allowed.

It               was               an               amazingly               athletic               play               by               a               gifted               player               who               has               seemed               to               underachieve               thus               far               in               his               NFL               career.

That               play               was               stripped               and               now               we               are               left               with               controversy               over               a               touchdown               that               clearly               should               have               counted.
               Johnson               made               an               incredibly               athletic               play               on               the               ball               and               he               deserved               better.

It's               sad               the               Lions               have               to               catch               the               brunt               of               such               a               bad               call-considering               how               much               they               have               struggled               the               past               few               years.

The               Bears               were               extremely               fortunate               to               walk               away               with               a               victory               considering               the               outcome               of               the               review               by               the               officials.

It               will               be               interesting               to               see               what               happens               over               the               course               of               the               next               couple               of               days               concerning               that               Calvin               Johnson               catch               video.

The               refs               may               have               not               actually               dropped               the               ball               in               this               case               if               they               managed               to               adhere               to               the               official               rules.

In               that               situation,               the               rule               needs               to               be               overhauled               for               a               particular               instance               like               this.

Johnson               should               have               been               awarded               that               touchdown.

Instead,               the               Johnson               touchdown               catch               against               the               Bears               may               go               down               as               a               single               reminder               of               how               not               to               review               or               interpret               rules               by               NFL               officials.
               What               seemed               so               obvious               to               fans               watching               at               home               was               simply               not               addressed               correctly               by               the               refs               on               the               field.

When               it               comes               down               to               it,               the               guy               absolutely               caught               the               ball.

Whatever               happened               to               the               ground               can't               cause               a               fumble               rule?

Does               that               not               apply               in               this               situation?

The               Calvin               Johnson               catch               video               will               be               the               most               talked               about               incident               for               week               one               of               the               NFL               season.

It               seems               unlikely               that               the               Lions               will               be               a               playoff               contender-but               can               you               imagine               if               they               somehow               fall               one               win               short               of               the               playoffs?

Or               the               Bears               make               the               playoffs               by               just               one               game               and               another               team               gets               left               out?

That's               how               big               of               an               impact               this               one               call               could               have               and               resonate               for               the               remainder               of               the               season.

If               the               rules               actually               specify               what               the               refs               illustrated               on               the               field--then               perhaps               their               hands               are               tied               and               the               rule               needs               to               be               altered.

Either               way               it               was               a               horrible               way               to               start               the               NFL               season.

The               Lions               certainly               deserved               better.
