Game Thread: Dallas Cowboys @ Green Bay Packers

[Texas Jefe]

things always even out in the end.

Didnt think the COwboys had much of a chance to beat GB and Rodgers in Green Bay, at least they made it a good game.

That was still a shit call and we all know it but such is the way of "The Ref". Just a shame that games are determined by the 33 team. Dallas may or may not have won but that was a shit call. Like it or not.

The Pack are one step closer to a possible showdown with NE in the SB

Count on it. Me and my tinfoil hat wearing Sports SportsHoopla brothers are counting on it!

G n G not only did I save ya a place on the couch ... I got ya your own couch .. how's that ?

Holy shit, that's a catch too. Is the nfl retarded? I have been playing and watching football for 35 years. That is a catch. Possession with 2 feet down=catch.

Both Dez Bryant and Calvin Johnson made catches. The rule is just plain stupid.

Just like last week, everyone is going to harp on that one play.

One play does not make the difference in a game. Just doesnt.

Anyone arguing over one play is just spitting in the wind.

Well where the Hell is the fun in being reasonable?

That's a stupid rule but they made the right call base on the rule. Forget the steps. The call was made base on the process when he went to the ground.

 

[Hangman]

Just an FYI the reason it was not a catch was there was contact before Dez got both feet down causing him to go to the ground. When that happens the receiver must keep control of the ball throughout the process. The player must have complete control and stop and not move anymore with the ball. If he goes out of bounds with and the ball moves out of bounds or the ball moves when it hits the ground its no catch.

I'm curious to see if 'Boys fans feel the call was right.

Last week the call by the ref was obvious but the flag picked up - and 'Boys fans felt the ref got it right by picking it up.

This week it was ruled a catch, and upon further review, Dez lost control of the ball when it hit the ground.

So how about it, Cowboy fans: Did the ref get it right?

Or did karma get ya?

a fresno st receiver a big factor in game for green bay.

Don't agree with that. When it's down to the wire and it directly takes at least a very likely score away it does impact the game.

Last weeks call came with so much time left that it couldn't define the reason for the loss. It was a bad call, but too much time left to be a reason for that loss.

Today's was different.

I bet if the football broke the plain of the goal line it may have stood up....but the added stretch would have made the difference. Although he has to retain possession when hitting the ground it's not considered a catch...that's why this was overturned.

 

[Texas Jefe]

I know. That's just me.

most of the time.

At least Dez has something else to make another 'Beats' commercial about.

 

[WizardHawk]

What cost the game here really wasn't the call, but Dez going for the stretch instead of making sure he secured the ball. The season is over for Dallas and it's all on dez. Or at least the ending was.

No, it wouldn't have. Go review the Calvin Johnson catch they keep referencing. That was IN the end zone.

No, it wouldn't have changed the call. Same as if the receiver had been in the ez when it happened. If you're going to the ground before making a football move, you must maintain control through the process. If had made a football move then went to the ground, then he's down by contact.

Murray cost them the game with his fumble and he deserves more blame than anyone.
