Really annoying how we pick plays apart in replay these days especially on catches. He clearly never lost control and had both feet down. The ball can jostle around as long as the receiver doesn't lose control of it. That was an easy call IMO but during the game it did start to make me nervous with how long they reviewed it for.

Yeah, as Dungy said at the time, "That's been a catch for a hundred years."

Exactly. Dungy said out loud what real football fans thought. He also added breaking every catch down in micro seconds causes doubts...paraphrase...

What would help would be the rule saying “clearly caught, two feet down and once he is out of bounds...play over.” I’ve never understood how you can say it wasn’t a catch after two feet in bounds a then lose it after sliding five yards out of bounds...once you’re out...the play is over. Sims may have slightly bobbled it for a quarter second after he was a couple of steps out of bounds...but again....why does that matter? The play was over.
