Throughout the season, I complained vigorously every time a WR was "forced out" on the sidelines, without getting two feet in, and was rewarded a catch. To me, this is the most illogical rule in the National Football League.
8. A forward pass is complete when a receiver clearly possesses the pass and touches the ground with both feet inbounds while in possession of the ball. If a receiver would have landed inbounds with both feet but is carried or pushed out of bounds while maintaining possession of the ball, pass is complete at the out-of-bounds spot.
If you don't come down in bounds with the ball, you don't deserve the catch.Doesn't this rule violate the spirit of having a defensive team on the field? There is no real emotional reason for hating this rule. I am very annoyed by the fact that the NFL doesn't seem to like logic in this particular case. I challenge anybody to come up with a good argument for keeping the force out rule in effect. Please. Make my day.
