Later on this week Arlington will be reviewing film to prove Montana was over the line before throwing "The Catch"

They should re-write the rule though it was correctly applied in this case. But the team boards are here for a reason. Some people should confine their pearls of wisdom to them.

It was definitely a shitty call. There isn't much you can do about it at this point though.

How ? When Dez reached out the ball popped up from the ground... Watch the video ... It wasn't a shitty call it was the right call by the rules...

Dam, Dez is one helluva receiver... That was ridiculous... BUT the ball hit the ground and you can see without any shadow of a doubt with this video ... The right call was made... Dez's mistake was reaching too score instead of just securing the ball...

3 steps. And possession....

Falling toward the ground the entire time from which he first touched it, until he hit does not constitute either steps nor possession.

Didn't GnG just tell us a couple of days ago that cowboy fans weren't whining over this? What a major disappointment you all must be for him.

I'm not whining.

Stating facts.

Possession in the air, 2 feet down and the 3rd step is part of a lunge.

Clear to me.

Wouldn't have necessarily won the game and the day it happened I was for sure in the camp of "he should simply have come down with it".

But possession and 3 steps is what it is.

I agree there are a few Cowboys fans still whining about this but I thought the call was correct. I wish these guys would just let it go.

Hank, I don't understand why you'd think this was a catch. Dez didn't have possession.

here we go again....
let's try maintain possession THROUGHOUT the process of going to the ground
did not happen...as all eyes can see.


Funny part....my son gets all red in the face saying the ball still didn't touch the ground....and I say, "Doesn't matter, did not control the ball through the process". Boy, does he get pissed.


Takes all kinds.


besides...I remain convinced in the woulda, shoulda, coulda world that Rodger's Woulda scored again.

Ya know....in many ways you & I enjoy poking that stick when opportunity presents itself.
I find that in itself pretty darn funny. :suds:

Yeah I watched.... The ball bounce off the ground when he reached for the end-zone... If Dez wouldn't have reached he could a secured it... Hell of a play but he just didn't finish the catch...

There was one shitty call. And it begins and ends with the creation of this thread.

The Seahawk fans are bored out of their minds. We don't need to give them a reason for them to do what they do.
