POLL Did Dez Bryant Catch the Ball?

[Hank Kingsley]

Does it really matter at this point of time?

No.

But Dez caught that fucking ball.

 

[The Oldtimer]

No.

But Dez caught that fucking ball.

Kind of like Tom Brady's fumble (the Tuck Rule)?

Completely different...

Yeah I guess, one was a catch and the other was a fumble.

Uncatchable ball. Guy wouldn't have caught it anyway.

That makes zero sense. Thats like a CB pass interfering and smacking the ball away and you saying, "It's not pass interference cause he smacked the ball away and the receiver couldn't catch it. Again, uncatchable means the ball was no where near the receiver and that ball was directly on target. I just don't understand how people can never be remotely objective.

 

[Sharkonabicycle]

No. He did not, according to the rule. He shouldn't have been so greedy and reached out for the TD if he knew he might've lost the ball.

Case closed. So tired of people blaming refs for losses when the rules are completely clear. And I'm one of those, "Seattle lost fair and square 2005 Super Bowl" guys. So fuck off before you go there.

Hit the defender in the lower back.

Not losing one second's sleep over it.

Maybe you should take the same philosophy concerning Dez's dropped pass.

Maybe should watch with out GB blinders on and see the catch was a catch.

20 plus years with two playoff wins and the haters still hate and point fingers at cowboy homers.

It remains what it is

What makes you think I have Green Bay blinders on? I see fans of several other teams also claiming it wasn't a catch. In all seriousness, if I knew none of the rules of football and watched that play, I would call it a catch. But I watch a lot of football and I am familiar with the rules. I have seen about a half a dozen other plays all very similar to Dez's. And they were all called the same way.

Maybe you should take your Gray and Blue glasses off.

Other fans don't know shit either.

None of those were exactly like the Dez play though, cause his was a catch.

 

[cowboys5xsbs]

It shouldn't matter if you're going to the ground or not. If you take 3 steps with CLEAR possession it should be a catch regardless. On top of that, he had enough time to dive as well. Anyone who claims DEZ did not have possession of that ball is just a hater. The rule was horse shit and still is.

OK it's settled, then. It was a catch because Hank Kingsley's opinion matters more than the NFL rulebook does. Maybe you should call Roger Goodell and let him know that.

Hank keeps spanking a dead horse. Unfortunately they don't have the little blue pill North yet and sure 1/4 lb of ganja a day doesn't help matters

Some of us don't hate but get accused of hating. We're the group that understands Dallas isn't relevant and hasn't been for two decades. If they become consistent contenders again we reserve our right to change our feelings.

See post #97.
Hating on the Cowboys would be like hating on the Jags, Bills, Cleveland or the Colts. No reason to. They're not relevant it's like kicking a dog when they're down.

Pats were irrelevant for the first 30 years and 40 if you count the Boston Patriots, I know well to well and don't shit on other teams. When Brady retires, they might shit the bed again

For a team that isn't relevant they sure get talked about alot
