What is wrong with asking the reciever to keep complete possession throughout the course of a catch?  It seems like a fair rule to me.  I just hate when people say that was a catch or that the Lions were robbed because it was the correct call.  You know who was robbed?  The Packers that time when Golden Tate caught that "game winner" against them.  Why am I sticking up for the Packers?  What is wrong with me? 

You are sticking up for the Packers because you were manipulated by the media. During all the replays they omitted the one camera angle that showed Tate catching the ball with one hand right before Green Bay's defensive back gets his hands on the ball.

I will say btw, the game absolutely favors the pass, but I think the ticky tack emphasis bullshit should go.  It just feels like if you catch it, have two feet in, and have control...that is basically possession.   But, yeah, don't make the rules, so no biggie :)  Still, the shitty emphasis needs to go away.
