I think if Wiggins managed to get THREE FEET down then we have a bigger story than an incomplete pass.</div>
Have you ever seen Wiggins? The guy is freakish looking.

The call by the refs was just about as bogus as Polomalu's INT last year. Wiggins had possession, took three steps while being tackled, and only lost the ball at the very end of the play. Asking for someone to make a 'football' move is BS.

 

^^ But at least with the Polamalu INT the refs later said they were wrong.

No kidding. What the hell was that? I mean, he had control of the ball and he wasn't bobbling it at all. On top of that, he took like 3 steps in bounds. That was not incomplete.

 

^^ They need to make an effort to make the rules straightforward so that refs know exactly what to look for. I mean Pierera said that it was a "bang bang" play, that's why it was incomplete, he said he didn't want any cheap fumbles, but I thought the rule was that if you made a football move it was a reception. I would think that either when he tucked the ball or when he made 3 steps they would consider it that he made a football move. I bet that Joe Theisman will be bringing this play up again, because you know this will bring controversy on a fumble call before the seasons over.
