Worst call in NFL history!

[Jinx181]

he had his feet in plus he fell in the inzone in my book TD

[Ishotbinladin]

id say the worst call ever would be the roughing the passer call on rodgers against the giants in the play offs.

[dachucker]

What pisses me off the most about this play. Since the majority of the people commenting on this play did not even watch this game. Was that Chicago was kicking the shit out the Lions until the last two offensive series. And Lovie like he always does, went into that FUCKING WORTHLESS PREVENT defense. We wouldn't be talking about this stupid shit two years later.

[Nebraskahusker23]

The NFL has the most retarded rules.

[mikeflorence31]

calvin caught the ball. had possesion of the ball. came down with two feet in the endzone. his ass is on the ground with the ball in his right hand. the ball has broken the plain of the goal line. touchdown!

[TTMWarehouse]

@mikeflorence31 First of all thats the wrong version of plane, second of all he did not MAINTAIN possesion.

[dewaynecullen]

@TTMWarehouse who the fuck'r you?! The literary en-fucking-forcement? Ya freakin' cunt!

[TTMWarehouse]

@dewaynecullen Yes yes I am.

[dachucker]

@mikeflorence31 uhhhh... I don't think they counted it.... Too bad huh..

[takeYOURreadstep]

who cares about the rules. he caught the football in the enzone fair and square. thats a td.

[Fringe13]

To all the top comments.... he caught the ball with both hands 2 feet down switched to 1 hand used the other to break his fall landed on his ass= the catch if you take everything away before the 1 hand and sitting it is still a catch that is full completion you can't bobble a ball with 1 hand witht he ball facing down, laws of gravity it was a BS call and if you get your heads out of the bears asses maybe you will see that.

[KyleKorver25]

geat call :D fuck you lions.

[3runbeast]

all the 84 dislikes r the bears

[ChicagoShnozzlers]

the bears get lucky once again

[dachucker]

@ChicagoShnozzlers yeah better lucky than sucking for 70 years like the Lions

[ChicagoShnozzlers]

@dachucker hahahah dumb ass im not even a lions fan i dont like the lions at all... just have been noticing the bears getting lucky alot!

[westerngoat]

if hadnt been a td it would have been a catch

[MrPhillip39]

Only the NFL can come up with STUPID rules like this one. The player caught the ball then hit the ground then the ball came loose. In simple language that's what many people, who watch football, would call that a Touchdown.

[jjmx1]

Terrible call. He has control of it throughout his movements. Terrible call.

[kmkfiction2]

No, the worst call is the Cutler vs Chargers call by Hoculi

"Vegas baby"

[ScarzFace7]

wai........wah............real­ly?

[1exdomer]

It's a process all u people who agree with this guy, a catch is a process u must have full control of the ball, Megatron dropped the ball before completing the process , therefore INCOMPLETE

[kathleen111212]

That is so stupid it's so a catch

[truebluetitan]

such a catch, but nfl is stupid

[KGATProductions]

u must contain full control after the catch

[stratmandar]

I'm from Seattle...anybody remember the Superbowl? Now that was messed up officiating!

[jeffhardyfan123able]

GOD DAMMIT THE REFS RIGG THE GAMES!! Fuckin shit football without a retarded ref would be nice

[mkarim14steelers21]

The refs are too gay

[trencher7]

Wow. I thought these things only happened to the Raiders. What an insane call.

[smorsedregs]

worst call ever was don chandlers' missed field goal that was called good in the 1965 western conference playoff game

[dachucker]

Bears win . Fuck yall!

[stratmandar]

@dachucker You're an idiot!

[dachucker]

@stratmandar No actually complaining about something that had no true bearing on the outcome of the season. Here the Lions win and finish 7-9 and Chicago finishes 10-6. Chicago still loses in the NFC championship to the Packers. Lions go nowhere as is the case most years. Now what, we've officially changed history. Throughout NFL.. No, throughout football history hundreds if not thousands of calls have been missed or somehow screwed up by officials. That have changed the impact or result of a..

[Cougar338]

@dachucker 11 and 5 exactly.My first season as a Bears fan.

[dachucker]

@stratmandar game. The NFL made changes because of this play. We review every touchdown now. And now everybody from fans to players know what completing an act is on a scoring play is. This is not the wort call ever. This is something that happened a year and a half ago, that did not change the outcome of either teams season. Let's try to move past this stupid shit now shall we.

[334Transformers]

This sucks cuz he had 2 feet in bounds and when he wuz down and put the ball down they called it an incompletion 4 no darn reason at all.Same thing happened against the 49ers when they were still undefeated but they ruled it a complete pass cuz he got tangled in the net 4 the field goal

[toofastforlove81]

it sucks but this rule is 100% accurate. if the ball comes out when he goes to the ground, it's an imcompletion. it looks like he put the ball on the ground to celebrate and that's why he lost it, but finishing the play has to be your main concern. hold on to the ball, megatron

[stratmandar]

@toofastforlove81 Actually that negates the whole ball just has to cross the plane! Makes no sense!

[toofastforlove81]

@stratmandar no, what if a receiver caught the ball in the endzone for a tenth of a second? it crossed the plane didn't it? you need to complete the PROCESS of the catch, not just get it across the plane

[dancinkindofguy]

Detroit got screwed twice that year. First Jim Joyce made the worst call in baseball history that took away a perfect game by Armando Gallaraga with two outs in the ninth. Then 3 months later this monstrocity!

[yeagabombs315]

these rules are all bullshit fuck the nfl

[Cueil]

This happened to a Bear and no one gave a rats ass about that but it's Calvin so it's a huge deal here

[biggreenjet]

Didn't the lions go like 0-16 that year anyway

[334Transformers]

@biggreenjet no they ended up being 7-9

[gb6710]

Its not like the Lions made the playoffs that year, or even had a winning season. That call had not long lasting implications, its not like it cursed the Lions for 50 years of losing.

[JStacks92]

it was the right call he did not complete the catch! he let go as he fell you have to maintain possession through the whole play it doesn't matter if both feet are in bounds you still have to maintain possession that's how a catch is made if that is not done its incomplete you may have wanted him to catch it everyone wants that for there team for them to catch every ball that ends up in the endzone but that's football for you! In the words of Mick Jagger you can't always get what you want!!

[ChainGang220]

@JStacks92 You're right, he has to maintain possession through the whole play, but the play is over and ruled a TD when he gains possession in the endzone. He clearly has possession considering he's holding the ball one handed coming to the ground.

[philipmedford13]

U r wrong

[charleta17]

He caught that. I'm sorry I got to give it two him

[spobrocy1]

Correct call. STUPID rule.

[whitegxp313]

63 people are chicago fans

[lort6]

its the right call, he didnt have control of the ball

[BostonSoxPatsCeltsBs]

they must have used this video for instant replay , cause that was a touchdown.

[TheAndyk123]

Not necessarily a bad call. According to the book, the refs made the right call. CJ just needs to know that he has to control the football all the way through. He can't just bail on the ball that quickly after a catch. If he had done that at the 50 yard line instead of in the end zone it woulda been a fumble or incomplete.

The only reason its BS is that the Lions should have won if Calvin could have just hung on to the football instead of going to celebrating so quickly.

[PvRK1NG]

@TheAndyk123 no if you watch it you will see that he has possesion falling to the ground. it is completley in his hand and he has full possesion. it was a clean catch and it should have been a win

[Dabomb0066]

1998 Thanksgiving day Steelers vs Lions Overtime Coin Toss by far worst call in NFL History!

[gimmemynickelback]

GO LIONS!!!!!!!

[tacopartyparker]

I was watching this game and I'm a bears fan and I thought it was such bs call

[chippahoey]

even bears fans should be upset with this call...... this is by far the worst call ever! The NFL knows it!

[321cns]

Go bears!

[TheLilMalMal]

If you catch the ball in the motion of falling you have to have complete control when you hit the ground. Good call by ref dumb play by reciever.

[Ollig999]

@TheLilMalMal are you saying calvin johnson is dumb

[shockofgod1]

I disliked to throw off the symmetry faggots

[bighouse42]

The call was great cause when you think about it if he wasn't falling then that would have been considered a catch but because he was falling he had to have COMPLETE CONTROL of the ball. Bottom line it's a incomplete pass

[Ollig999]

@bighouse42 he held on with one hand but had complete control

[BrittfieldBeats]

that's the right call. according to the rules you have to perform a "football move" after you gain control of the ball and he didn't.

[treybodkin]

@BrittfieldBeats to heck if he didnt, he took 4 steps then spun the ball

[denjr10]

@BrittfieldBeats sure. But it's a terrible rule. You have possession, 2 feet in bounds, cross the goal line, the play is over. Why do you have to maintain possession after the play is over?

[Oaklandgirlpitlover1]

@BrittfieldBeats Yes he did.

[stratmandar]

@BrittfieldBeats Both feet in...whole body in...if that's the case then tons of completions should be overturned when not...the rule itself is a complete contradiction.

[BIGRED224FOREVER]

@stratmandar instant replay has given us this garbage....looks like a catch smells like a catch....its a catch , however you must control the ball al the way back to the huddle , and if you are sharting while in the air both feet must be inbounds shoes tied , and socks pulled up and cannot be a distraction during the shitting faze of the quarterback!

[rexbrave555]

@BrittfieldBeats please that was a catch

[troy11995]

Wanna see terrible calls? watch a cowboy game.

[Blownupbadly]

@troy11995 Yeah, because cowboy fans are a bunch of fags.

[xJaYk1llax]

looks like that was

*puts on sunglasses*

a bad call...

[chrisinthemizt]

I wanna slap dat ref

[amiskeful]

Im a packers fan and i can say that call was pretty bad

[DaKilla1245]

seen

[DaKilla1245]

i watched that game and i like detroit and that ws the gayest call ever that ive

[sixinthehood]

I dont play football and don't know most any rules... But that was one shit call.

[geerscj00]

Gayest game ever

[reggie46404]

I thought he controlled the ball and he had two feet in so it should have been a touchdown. The fact that he ran out of bounds should be irrelevant.

[denigma85]

@reggie46404 its because he didnt pull it into himself and lost control of the ball when it hit the ground. very subjective call.

[reggie46404]

@denigma85 Yeah. They need to switch to college rules.

[Dylpickleize]

He didn't have full control of the ball..

[JusticePetitioner]

Had to fix the ratings bar.

[TheWrbanator]

He was down than the ball hit the ground

[Ollig999]

Calvin Johnson #1 terrible call

[nobledb1023]

This call cost me my fantasy football game.

[MrSchiefs58]

YES A *GOOD* CALL FOW MY TEAM... WAIT WTF -_-

[JRTJ54]

im a bears fan... i watched this game and laughed when that happened

[EraTwistyHD]

@JRTJ54 fuck off

[Dutch952123]

dont disrupt the balance of the lik/didlike bar 0_o

[eMggamingchannel]

i sure hope you have the written consent from the nfl to be taping this, even though you have the worst camera ever

[CODrandomguy]

wow thats a crap call

[G03ttl1ch3r]

Not a touchdown.

[blitzboy30]

@G03ttl1ch3r your fucking retarded. everyone knows that was a touchdown

[pseudohippie55]

@blitzboy30 anyone who knows anything about football knows this is no where NEAR a TD.

The rules state the ball can't touch the ground. At all. It clearly touched the groud. He had "control" because of the ground.

It's the right call, it's not a TD. Learn the rules of the game.

[DUBSTEPandYOGURT]

@G03ttl1ch3r < You don't watch football, do you?

[G03ttl1ch3r]

@DUBSTEPandYOGURT idk, look at my channel and tell me

[patduntie]

dont like or dislike it is symmetry

[DanielEBurnette]

Is Obama a ref?

[selfpaid15]

touchdown



[ballinnick23]

he caught the ball...easy and set it down, your crazy to sit there and think he didn't. caught the ball, 2 feet in bounds, SHOWS the ball to the ref, places it on the ground and wins the game. bought off...refs should have been fined for that

[Rotties2Rats]

I remember that game..that was a td though..

[THEBLACKBELT]

Good call. End of story.

[dkcoaches]

r u kidding me the referee is blind

[iMNoTTboReD]

can someone explain why its a bad call and the calvin johnson rule ??

now, u have to put 2feet in bounds and have complete control before going out and come up with possesion. i prob wudnt have ruled it a td either because he hit it on the floor and didnt really have possesion.. not cuz he was out

[Cashmoney3590]

it should have been a td yes..but by the rules at that time in the NFL no it was not a TD...just a victim of bad circumstances thats all. the game wouldnt have mattered for the Lions anyways.

[RyanKingFresh]

Did you record that with a microwave?

[larip13]

WTF????



[bjj714]

This is not a bad call... call is right and the rule is stupid.

[frankSIGburns]

I thought he recorded it with his shoe.

[welliszica]

FAIL!!! 0:15

[phineas513ferb]

worst call ever? no, worst rule ever, yes. it was the right call

[TheRabbitsOnTheRun]

He Screwed up...live with it. Accept the fact & move on....

[TheDoodles293]

TD!!!

[ACEDacer21]

this was a bad call

[cdak100]

ahhh Detroit jealousy

[shortymcshrimp28]

It was a touchdown as soon as both of his feet hit the turf with control of the ball. If it weren't in the end zone it wouldn't have been a catch, but it was, so it was.

[joemichaels1]

That is the biggest piece of shit call ever by a referee. Megatron should've shoved that ball up the ref's ass.

[Tolstoy111]

@joemichaels1 It's a stupid rule but it's still a rule. The call was correct.

[degen83]

@joemichaels1 No, it was a TD, he had control of the ball with both feet planted in the end zone. It was a TD, and if you don't think so I'm glad you aren't a referee.

[Rawk4Life]

@degen83 Not only that, but his knees also touched the turf of the end zone before he lost control of the ball. The only way it would have been incomplete is if Johnson had been bobbling the ball up until the time he fell down.

[degen83]

@Rawk4Life True, he had control of the ball with both feet planted and when his knees his the turf. He lost control when he hit the ground which was after both feet were planted and his knees hit the turk. Good call, it was a TD.

[brownboy7st1]

go bears

[deehoop209]

it was a touch down...wtf

[NovitasMaximus]

Sorry fella, the ref simply applied the rule to the situation. It is the player's responsibility to establish possession of a reception in the air all the way through, the receiver failed to do this. Why is irrelevant.

[granturismo5101]

LeBron traveled

[TheCrazycheese123]

he didnt drop it... he had complete conrol, landed then put the ball down and got up

[kemp1756]

Dude he dropped it get over it lions suck

[Schulte05]

@kemp1756 Yeah the Lions suck and that's why they have a winning record.

[bigpuunyg303]

or get a better phone jerk

[bigpuunyg303]

he drooped it git over it an stop using ur phone to record ur TV asshole

[TheLoLCompilations]

Did you record this with a camera?

[54chicagobearsfan]

im a bears fan and i can say that call was horrible

[linainversefan]

This was a crappy call. I hope that the officials of that game were tarred & feathered...

[MrSyracuse123]

i totaly agreee that ref sucked

[starlincastro13]

This was an amazing call.! Go bears! :D

[redskinsfan4life97]

umm ur stupid its completly fair its an nfl rule

[statman29neb]

Not a bad call, it's a bad rule. Sadly that is the NFL rule.

[sandovaljb]

I think it was just too many guys in the huddle, so there.

[TheIronPitbullSpeaks]

Im a Vikings fan, i love to bitch and cry about play calling. Especially when we play the Packers. Lambeau doesnt hire officials no matter how much it seems, games arent rigged and these officials are criticised by every call they make. What i see is very questionable. Im not biased towards Detroit or Chicago for the record. He had the ball when his knee hit the ground. He may have only had one hand on the ball which is questionable and he did drop the ball on impact. Its just too close to call.

[knightowl1988]

@TheIronPitbullSpeaks

AGREE THE TOUCHDOWN THEY RULED BACK ON FAVRE AND SHAINECO COST THEM THE GAME LAST YEAR. BLOWN CALL AFTER BLOWN CALL NO WONDER THEY HAVEN'T LOST.

[xCrims0nTid3x]

@TheIronPitbullSpeaks What happens when his knee hits the ground doesn't matter. He already had both feet in and he had possession of the ball at the time that occurred - that's a TD all day long.

[Versuz54]

@xCrims0nTid3x Full controll all the way to the ground right when he hit it it went bounceing away no catch

[xCrims0nTid3x]

@Versuz54 if that's the rule, then yeah, it's incomplete. Just another reason for me to dislike the NFL.

[nitrofreak]

Did you record this with your asshole?

[swb1m1]

@nitrofreak no just his toaster 

[simplyskilled]

@nitrofreak yes...........yes he did

[TheYellowSubmarine14]

@nitrofreak Do i have to shove a camera up my ass first?

[400scrider]

@nitrofreak you sir just made my day : )

[cawson12]

@nitrofreak lmfao, you silly willy

[DUBSTEPandYOGURT]

@nitrofreak His asshole would have shot a better quality video.

[nitrofreak]

@DUBSTEPandYOGURT lol

[lakerskid2013]

Megatron had that catch

[eliasdelfagalo]

THIS SAME FUCKIN THING HAPPENED TO THE BENGALS TODAY. THEY SHOULDA WON

[96wr]

@eliasdelfagalo Thats why they call it the "Calvin johnson rule" dipshit.

[eliasdelfagalo]

@96wr uMad?

[96wr]

@eliasdelfagalo Yep RobustMustache should have written The Calvin Johnson Rule and not Worst Call in NFL History.. just to get some stupid views. dipshit

[41indianapoliscolts]

@eliasdelfagalo Oh hey Elias sup

[HossIsDaBoss100]

I'm a Bears fan and this is still bad.

[kanddkoz1]

I'm a lions fan and it sucks

[Psyclone625]

How can a video have this title and not be "The Tuck Rule"?

[voteforcanman]

Good call.

[MrUgotknifed]

@voteforcanman ur bad....
