That catch ought to go down as one of the greatest in playoff history. It's better than "The Catch" that the TE from SF made years ago when Montana was QB, the one they replay ad infinitum when playoff time comes around....Originally posted by MJohnsonEsq:
No one will ever convince me that the Dez call was the right one. The fact that it was a video reversal of the call on the field makes it even more inexplicable.

Sorry, but I've watched that play over a dozen times and Bryant is still trying to maintain control of the ball when he goes down. His momentum takes him toward the end zone. No catch. Was it indisputable enough to be overturned...I don't know. But it was not a catch, if you're going to go by the rulebook.

What's the difference between 3 steps or 5 steps or 10 steps? In my mind Dez gets short-changed because people automatically assume that he can't have complete and total control of the ball with only one hand. His hands are so large that he could have had complete and total control of a basketball.Originally posted by Ketchum:
If he catches the ball in the middle of the field, it's a catch. Horseshit.Originally posted by krzy4ut:
I dont thave a dog in the fight. I wont argue any of what you said regarding Dez's catch, steps and obvious stretch to the goal line. My understanding, what I keep hearing from those on TV, is that you can do all of that, BUT if you lose the ball after all of that when you hit the ground then it is not a catch.
PLEASE know that I DO NOT agree. I think that is asinine and wrong. Didnt agree with the Calvin Johnson play either.

Dez caught the ball, he then made a definite football move and he took 3 steps and then because he's so competitive he reached out to try to get the ball across the goal line and when his arm hit the ground the ball was jarred loose but it never hit the ground when he again regained control of the ball. Dez would have been better served in taking those 3 steps and then falling down in some type of yoga position where he would have had both hands, arms and feet around the ball or better yet his chest could have absorbed the ball into his thoracic cavity for good measure. Bad call and I believe the replay refs got it wrong.
Interesting quote. Did Brandon Pettigrew say that while he was grabbing Hitchens' facemask, or did Suh say that as he was stomping on another player lying on the ground?Originally posted by gs68:
No the worst call ever was the pickup of the pass interference call last week versus Detroit as the NFL said it was a wrong call.
Even though I disagree with the rule this call was per the rules and the NFL agrees it was correct .
The ball was moving the whole time he was moving forward.
Lions say its a bitch when you have to play by the rules
Oh boy, Ketch, you're really fully on board that roller-coaster/train wreck that's knows as Liverpool FC fandom... Good luck with that... There's a lot of misery in your future - the Cowboys v GB game should be a good primer for you... By the way, did you ever think you'd root for a team where your dream aspiration is to be fourth best each year...Originally posted by PackerHorns:
Third??

I absolutely agree. The video review means they should have been able to get it right and there was no evidence to over turn the call on the field. The one referee was right there at the one out of bounds so you know he saw the play and ruled it a catch with the ball just short of the goal line.Originally posted by MJohnsonEsq:

Of course the ball was moving the whole time he was moving forward. He had the ball in his hands and he had control of it. Geesh !Originally posted by gs68:

Not really his style it seems.Not a lot of WR/RB hires would even qualify.Originally posted by nojo76:
Ketch, what is the likelihood that Strong makes a splash hire?
There's some validity to that. Doesn't change the fact that the call wiped what would have been seven points off the board and there was half the time let on the clock than a week ago.Originally posted by grantnjones:
4 Mins left in the game. Have your Defense make a play and get the ball back!
They controlled and had the lead for pretty much the entire game and were robbed of re-taking the lead on the road in a place where the home team is normally unbeatable.Originally posted by Akersaway:
Ketch, not sure how you think cowboys were better team today. They were outgained by 100 yards. If the cowboys would have scored there was no indication by their play that the cowboy d would have ever stopped the packers. There was plenty of time after that play to make a stop on d and get the ball back but they couldn't.

That Cowboy loss will stick with me till I die, just like the Superbowl losses to the Steelers and the '94 NFC championship loss to SF. Its gotten to the point that I cringe whenever a play gets reviewed, as logic goes out the window when the idiots start reviewing the tape.
