Cowboys Packers

[Craig Mac]

I'm glad you said that Ryan, as that's the way I saw it. It wasn't a catch with a drive to the goal after, it was a diving catch. Stupid rule, correct call.

Can anyone really say Dez did not make a football move and try to lunge the ball towards the goal line, saying it's 100% indisputable?

No. Nobody, other than perhaps a few Packers or Lions fans, could claim that with a straight face.

If the Cowgirls had been playing the Jaguars, the TD would have stood.

On a final note: I watched the game, not to see Green Bay win, but to see Dallas lose

I'm totally sympathetic to this. But you should gloat that the Cowboys got screwed then, not that the call was correct.

EDIT -- I'm not saying that you personally are doing this, but many Packers and Lions fans are.

But the refs ruled he didn't really take 2+ steps, as in an actual football move. Those "steps" happened in the act of falling down making the catch, meaning he had to control the ball after hitting the ground. The refs ruled he didn't make a football move and all that motion was just him falling to the ground while trying to make a catch. By rule, it's incomplete in that case.

This is what they ruled, yes. But to say that it is indisputable that he didn't make a football move is pure nonsense. The call on the field should have stood either way. You or I couldn't contort our bodies and dive toward the end zone in that amount of time, but Dez Bryant can. And did.

Watch yo-self... I'm cat like.

Watch yo-self... I'm cat like.

Sorry, I should Dez Bryant and AlohaStyle can, but the rest of us can't.
