That was a CATCH by Dez

Yeah.

And what I'm saying is he made a football move.  He already caught the ball and was extending to the end zone,  He never lost control of the ball, not even close, he was trying to get more yards,

Now, if you, and anyone else, thinks he DID NOT make a football move common to the game (as the ref said is required), then THAT you need to let us know.  

Usually you see these calls when a player is in the process of holding on to the ball ONLY he was NOT he was STRETCHING making A FOOTBALL MOVE!!!!!

They FLUBBED IT plain and simple and should be banned from any more playoff games this season!!

What most of us saw as stumbling and falling to the ground, some saw as "took 3 steps and dove".

Some see what they want to see, others see the facts. Most of us get it. Those that don't , never will. 

says the guy with the Joey Crawford image

Nobody fixes NBA games like hunchback of Notre Dame Joey boy

nba is corrupt as s, or should i say WAS...since Adam Silver has gotten involved I've seen much, much less bs and it makes me wonder if the NBA is wagerable again

THAT SAID....

if you think it was a homer call, or payback for getting the Detroit call, understood

it's a JUDGMENT call as the ref said twice.  the ref DISAGREED that he made a football move.  I think he did by extended hard for the end zone, that's it.

agreed call stands is acceptable, we can debate all day if he was making a football move and get nowhere

put it all on seattle -7 or -7.5 that's what I'm doing wing and a prayer Green Bay is going to get thier *ss kicked

A. They're not at home

B. They can't stop the run.  Beast mode and WIlson bootlegs that's what they do.

C  Legion of Doom and quartervack pressure vs a gimby Rodgers who can't move (and won't be healed by Sunday) I don't think so

I also think the Pats win but I"m not touching that game and will have zero opinion on it.

The Dez catch, I say catch because if you ask a girl if he caught that they will say yes, is an example of the leagues failure to address rule deficiency. Interpretation from another ref would have let it stand as a football move

It should be INDISPUTABLE to overturn the ruling on the field'

You even see it with these guys in the booth disagreeing with the refs on the field, as you said.  As always 5 minutes go by we'll never get back

If they're going to keep it they need to clean it up

Just put what you have left on Seattle, is what I say. 

Carolina matched up very well with Seattle, Green Bay does not.  Aaron Rodgers and the Pack on the road are 4-4, a completely different team, and Seattle is 8-1 at home

mvp post of the  year,what a clow

The talking head official on the network said "the ground cannot cause a fumble, but it can cause an incompletion"

you have to maintain control of the ball throughout the reception... yes he gets 2/3 feet in but as he goes to the ground, with the ball cradled in his left forearm, the ball clearly hits the ground, he clearly loses posession of the ball as it goes IN THE AIR (you guys did see the ball leave his body right?), and then dez re-catches the ball once past the goaline.   had the ball never left his body, or had the ball not moved once cradled in the left forearm, even with the ball touching the ground it would've been ruled a completion.  BUT, dez clearly did not maintain control of the ball throughout the reception.

lost on everyone is how this couldn't have happened to a bigger azzhole than dez Bryant.  did you see his reaction after Terrence Williams caught the game winner the week before?  that's right- no moment of joy or celebration when his teammate caught the game winner.  dez Bryant is an azzhole in life.  that's why shitt like this will continue to happen to him and whatever team he's on.

DID YOU NOT SEE THE BALL POP IN THE AIR from when he landed in front of the goaline to when he RE CAUGHT the ball on the other side of the goaline??  the ball popping up INTO THE AIR constitutes him NOT HAVING POSSESSION of the ball throughout the catch. 

change your handle to : 'dumber than most'

Actually, he doesn't have to make a football move. He only has to have enough time that he COULD make a football move. It's "Note 1" in the rulebook. Basicaly, if there is a enough time that he -could- make a move, before losing the ball, then it is a catch and the going to the ground provision in the rulebook doesn't apply.

You may want to read this article from when they adjusted the NFL rules in 2011 https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2011/03/20/pereiras-assault-on-calvin-johnson-rule-overlooks-his-responsibility-for-it/ or, you can read my analysis of it with example play breakdown by refs at https://electionaustin.com/dez-bryant-catch-rules-analysis/  Or course, there's no way of knowing if it would have changed the outcome of the game had the refs not messed up & failed to account for "Note 1", but it is important that they fix it for future years -- and they have chosen not to for 2015/2016 - we will still have the same issues of refs sometimes enforcing "Note 1" and sometimes not.
