chw42 Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 (edited) QUOTE (MexSoxFan#1 @ Jan 11, 2015 -> 02:57 PM) That's a legit catch by Bryant. Yup. I thought he had his hand under it the whole time. Hand hit the ground, part of the ball might have hit the ground too, but when it popped back up, he caught it again. I don't think there was enough evidence to overturn. Edited January 11, 2015 by chw42 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleHurt05 Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Wow. I don't think the reversal was wrong, I think it's just a bad rule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balta1701 Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 I don't know how you can call that one a 'Stupid rule". The ball hit against the ground and bounced out of the grip in his hand. That one actually looks quite clear to me and I don't think there's any interpretation that would allow that to be a catch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrunkBomber Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 The crying from the Cowboys on this call is gonna be hilarious. That absolutely wasnt a catch and they got gifted the call last week. It works itself out in the end I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the time he caught it, he took 3 steps and reached for the end zone. IMO that should be enough control to call it a catch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MexSoxFan#1 Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jan 11, 2015 -> 02:58 PM) No it isn't there's one shot where you can see the ball move loose upwards as a consequence of hitting the ground. Overturn was correct. His hand was under the ball when both his hand and the ball hit the ground and he quickly recovered it. Not enough to overturn the original call, refs affected the result of this game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know, wasn't arguing the call, just the rule. Even though he was falling to the ground, I think he showed enough control that the catch should count, just like the Megatron catch vs the Bears. Obviously the current rule says differently Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it hit his body or the defender and he "quickly recovered it" that would have been a catch, but you can't hit the ground and then recover the ball on a catch.

MexSoxFan#1 Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 The Cowboys didn't blitz Rodgers enough, they let him slip and slide on a gimpy leg ad make throws. I'm betting the Seahawks won't be that stupid. Either way, the Cowboys or Packers aren't beating Seattle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daa84 Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Throw out the rules. Watch the reply and ask yourself, did he catch that ball? You are lying if you say no. The call was correct, cuz it's a dumb rule Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Middle Buffalo Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 All Dez had to do was catch he ball. He did not need to stretch for a TD. In stretching for a TD, the ball was jarred loose by the ground. Good call. I'll add that I was rooting for Dallas, but Dez routinely acts like an idiot, so I'm not surprised he isn't smart enough to know that the situation called for a catch, not a TD.
