There is a difference between agreeing it should be a catch, and it was already a catch.
I've said several times that it should be considered a catch. The rule is kind of dumb to me. He was falling the entire time and it did hit the ground, but it should have been a catch under the football we all remember as kids.
Most people agree with that.
I don't believe most people think he was making intentional steps and lunged at the end zone. I think most reasonable people see his momentum was carrying him down toward the ground and all 3 'steps' were him trying to get his feet under him.
I agree, miss the old school football. They have ruined the game with all the new rules. As for Dez trying to maintain his balance, I'm sure he was but when he realized he was going down he switched the ball to one hand and stretched it out. I have no doubt he was stretching for the endzone. Most receivers do this when close to the goal. Anyway thanks for a good debate whether right or wrong, always nice to have good conversation without all the BS name calling and such. You are a good poster in my book just like most of the people whom have posted on this tread. We can always agree to disagree.
