Can someone explain the dez catch

Was it a catch? Rigged game?

 

oh good lord

He went to the ground, he didn't make a football move. It is kind of a bogus rule, he did take 3 steps, how many do you need for a "football move"? It's one of those things where you'll know it when you see it... Which is a gray area.

 

I'm not crying, my brother wanted to know lol. f dallas

 

It was a catch if you're using the literal definition of the word catch, just not NFL's definition of a catch. With that type of a catch, where he's coming down from about 12 feet up and stretching for the end zone, it is absolutely impossible to hit the ground and not have the ball move. There's simply no way a human being could prevent that ball from moving. Like everything though, the NFL's rules are so ticky tacky. It was the right call, just a stupid rule

 

it happened with hines a couple of times I can remember. rule sux but its the rule

 

Still don't understand it but that's funny. Karma

 

Dumb rule and the same type of rule that took Polamalu's INT away against the Colts back in the day.

 

AND......If you also remembered the NFL came out and issued an apology about getting wrong!

I've seen that play from all the angles and it looks like he had that ball and came down with at least three steps. He lunged with possession of the ball and you can see his right forearm came down before the ball hit. Ball hits, moves a little, but as he's rolling over he tries to re-grip (still in the field of play) and loses his grip but manages to hold onto it.

The problem is defining when his "catch" became a complete catch. If he doesn't lunge and takes a step out of bounds its a catch. He lunges and apparently they have determined that constitutes the act of still catching the ball.....

 

#hashtagsarestupid LOL.

 

I thought it was an absurd rule when they implemented it around Calvan Johnson's non-catch. The rule making has gotten so nit picky. Of course I'm old school, when the ground cannot force a fumble mentality. Plus it potentially cost me point in my fantasy league.... I needed a Dez score to keep up with the Brady's.

 

The wife asked me after the catch was challenged what I thought. I had a few dollars on the Pack and HATE the Cowboys . My response was "If that were a STEELER receiver I want that catch! In this game I hope they reverse it."

Came down with the ball took three steps and stretched arm toward goal line. What other "football moves" does a player need to make?
