    the rule stats the return man has a chance to catch the ball until it hit the ground....if he touches it the punting team cant recover until after the ball has touched the ground....it got picked outta the air so it was kick/catch interference

    Which just might be the dumbest rule in the NFL.

    So a ball can bounce off a player's helmet... and we can't catch it because they have a "chance" to catch it? He HAD a chance to catch the ball when it came down in to his arms.

    ^^^ Word. But i think that were only angry it happened to us. If it happened to them then it would be the greatest rule ever.

    the stupidest rule i have ever heard of its supposed to be live as soon as he touches it so in reality we should have drilled him when he caught it and then picked it up but then the horrible reffs would find somthing else wrong

    The worst part is... had we just "allowed it" (YEAH RIGHT) to hit the ground, it would have fallen right at our feet.

    Just some technical BS where RULES win the game rather than execution.
