looking forward to first take on monday

 

[Dunedain_Ranger]

Come on pack

 

[djplaeskool]

My supervisor is the biggest Cowboys fan.
He's either going to be pissed, or just not show up tomorrow.

 

[Himynameischris]

That's a fucken catch,

 

[Officerrob]

Probably should have been TD

Sure, if you completely ignore the rule

 

[JABEE]

Dez Bryant gif is one for the ages

 

[TS-08]

He has the ball, takes 2-3 steps, stretches out, has his elbow hit the ground before the ball comes out

-> No Catch

It doesn't matter if you "take steps" if your momentum was taking you to the ground in the process of making the catch.

You may not like the rule, but that's the call.

Devante Adams is having a beast of a day! Nelson/Cobb/Adams is going to be something special!

 

[WanderingWind]

As much as it warms my heart to see Dallas in tears, this rule needs to change. Any child could look at that and know it's a catch. He catches the damn ball. It may be a correct call on the field in accordance with the rule, but the rule is stupid.

 

[Nori Chan]

The problem really lies with the inconsistency in which these calls are made. I thought it was a catch, but I guess it's not. He had 3 feet and an elbow down before the ball came out loose.

 

[Kusagari]

Cowboys lived by the ref to get here, now they'll die by the ref.

 

[Live Free or Die]

He never had full control of the ball throughout the process, not hard to understand.

the ball was not moving until it hit the ground.

Party at work on monday!

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Probably should have been TD

It has already hit the ground by that point

 

[Draconian]

lol at people who were saying the ball didn't move when it popped up in the air.

 

[TheFatOne]

Just like last week, it's awful that refs are deciding games

You know the refs are horrendous when people start to wonder if games are fixed, and both sides equally saying they got the worst of the calls. They seriously have to fix the refs. NFL is far too cheap to do that though.

Skip Bayless loves his Cowboys

It's ok, Skip, you can go back to cheering for your boy Brady. It's what you do when your Cowboys let you down every year. Go back to cheering for Brady and hating on Luck because how wrong you were about RGIII.

 

[Roddslayer]

Troy is so salty

 

[Starphoenix]

Ball clearly moved off his shoulder pad after hitting the ground. People are high or blind.

His elbow hit the ground before the ball moved.

 

[Colasante]

I feel so deflated after that. The referees ruined what should have been a classic game.

 

[SliceSabre]

Feels good.

Go Rodgers! Go Packers! I have been backing the winning horse since the Browns got eliminated!

 

[Sweeney Tom]

The only challenge McCarthy won all year :jnc

 

[Crisco]

Stop whining about the refs, your beef should be with the rules. That was not a catch.

 

[RellyRell28]

Lol at people still arguing that it was a catch. he didn't even have full control of the ball at all when he took those steps. I wanted that to be a catch too but come on man.

 

[perfectchaos007]

Cowboys lived by the ref to get here, now they'll die by the ref.

I had a feeling that would happen

 

[WesternHeretic]

WELCOME TO SEATTLE ERRRRON

 

[lucius]

I rather see Dallas play Seattle just because with Rodgers not 100% I think it be a better game.

 

[Chezzymann]

Cowboys lived by the ref to get here, now they'll die by the ref.

So true.

 

[Instro]

I'm not sure why people are saying he took 3 steps, he was going to the ground as soon as he catches the ball. Pretty sure they don't count those as steps.

 

[Doorman]

I'm not sure I would have ruled it a no-catch either, but it's worth it just for the controversy and to see Dez bitch and moan about refereeing yet again. Go cry some more on the bus home.

 

[Rorschach]

Probably should have been TD

rotf his other elbow was down like a yard before that

 

[The_Darkest_Red]

Complain about the rule but that wasn't a catch. I knew it right away.

 

[Fantomex]

Dez still trying to argue jnc

 

[Herpes Reasons]

the ball was not moving until it hit the ground.

... right, but the process of completing the catch wasn't over.

 

[Duxxy3]

2 steps and an elbow. Whatever rule that states that isn't a catch needs to be thrown out.

And I don't give a shit about either team.

 

[brentech]

And the nfl still let Dez run onto field without helmet. Sticking their guns

 

[Bread]

He never had full control of the ball throughout the process, not hard to understand.

Well that's just completely false.

ahahaha

 

[MetalFearSolid]

Poor Cowboys robbed bigger than Lions karma suckera

 

[AbortedWalrusFetus]

Yes, Dez took two steps... With the ball still moving around.

 

[Milchjon]

Kas' thread was closed :-(

 

[Sanjuro]

The NFL and referees gave a playoff win to the Green Bay Packers over the Dallas Cowboys.

 

[ThatCrazyGuy]

Absolutely horseshit call.

How about we simplify things going forward? If you catch the ball, it's a catch. If you don't catch the ball, it's not a catch. Simple enough.

If it was that way, then no catch. Ball touched ground. The new school stuff about having control but it can still touch ground makes it more complicated.

 

[minx]

First off he took two steps after he caught the ball. That rule needs to be changed.

I thought the league was rigged though for the Cowboys?

 

[kingslunk]

The reason it's bullshit is they gave Green Bay the catch when the ball hit the ground. INCONSISTENCIES BY REFS.

Go Broncos.

 

[Buckethead]

Play for the win. PA slant next play

 

[Afrikan]

He took 3 fucking steps

If he doesn't reach out

Ugh nevermind

3 steps and an elbow down....then he tries to stretch out for the endzone.

 

[Zen_Arcade]

He never had full control of the ball throughout the process, not hard to understand.

Of course he did. Are you blind? He had enough control to not only switch which arm the ball was in, but then stretched said arm out in an attempt to cross the goal line.

You can't be in more control of a ball then literally being able to switch which arm the ball is in in order to gain an advantageous angle.
