You have to maintain the catch to the ground if you don't make a football move. He made 3. They called what they called and we lost. Won't hear me complain just stating a fact.

He had possession when his elbow touched the ground, making him down by contact at the 1 yard line (as it was called on the field). This "completing the process" stuff is just nonsense enabling more games to be decided by the officials. The rule needs to be changed and soon. Play ends when a player is down, out of bounds, or has possession of the ball in the opposing end zone. I don't understand why there needs to be subjectivity involved.

If that was not a catch, there is something wrong with football. The rules need to be changed to make that a catch.

To establish a catch you must have two feet in bounds
Jan 11, 2015, 4:13 PM

And complete one of the following Make a football move- that didn't happen If you do not make a football move you must complete the catch all the way to the ground-ground-ground- that didn't happen

he jumped 62 feet in the air ,and caught the ball with two hands, brought the ball down , feet good, extended, hit the ground while cradling the ball firmly in his right hand , as he rolled over from hitting the ground , the ball came loose, never touching the ground after it came loose, stayed close to his body , and he caught it back with both hands while he was on his back . .the ref was there , and we all saw it in real time, it was a great catch ,

It doesn't matter how many steps he took. He was always going to ground in the process of making the catch. Once the ball hit the ground and moved, it becomes incomplete.

That rule only applies if no football move is made like a receiver tapping his feet in bounds then falling out of bounds without taking a step. Dez took 2 steps jumped extended and hit the ground with his knee and stomach after contact from the defender then the ball came out.

Read my posts from earlier I stated we lost. You won't hear me complain like you whiny ####### did last week. I'm just stating it was a catch. Heck we could have scored a TD and Rogers could have gone down the field and beat us anyway. Not once have you seen me type the refs cost us this game. Things could be worse though, I could pull for the Panthers. Thank God that ain't gonna happen! Besides we had many chances to put that game away in the 3rd quarter and didn't do it. It is our own fault we lost.

Wasn't a catch...
Jan 11, 2015, 4:33 PM
|

Since he didn't possess it all the way through and the ground knocked it out it's incomplete. Even though he caught it after it bounced out it is incomplete. It would've been complete if it had bounced out off of his chest or arm, but since the ground pushed it out it's incomplete.

Dez basically got robbed because he extended his arm reaching for the goal line. If that same exact play would have happened at midfield he would have just tucked it in and it would have been a complete pass. If he hadn't had control of the ball then he wouldn't have had the control to stretch his arm out. Dumb rule cost Dallas big time, and I'm not a Dallas fan at all.

The NFL needs to revise this rule. The man took two and a half steps after controlling the ball, on his way to the ground. At what point does the other rule "Ground can't cause a fumble" start to overlap this situation?
And for the record, I intensely dislike the Cowboys, ever since Jerry Jones forced out Tom Landry the way he did. However, they still got screwed over today.

If this happened to Mike Williams on a Saturday would anyone agree it wasn't a catch? lol. By rule it wasn't a catch, but its a stupid rule. I would think making a catch at the 5 and 4 1/2 yards later stretching for the endzone the ground knocked it loose....should go down as the "ground can't cause a fumble" rule than the incomplete rule. But...it is what it is. Convenient that game would come down to a call after 57 mins of classic football.

I know one play doesn't determined the game, that why I said I pay attention to the whole game and not watch it with one eye closed. The Murray fumble with daylight to score, giving up a TD on 3rd and 15, a 6 pt swing before the half and not recovering the Cobb fumble on the kickoff while up 8 all factored in Dallas losing. All that call did was ruin the chance of an epic ending, it didn't cost Dallas the game.

Well it was from the Deer Dallas fans thread, but you still shouldn't read with one eye closed either. I clearly stated the plays that cost them the game in the long run. Something Det fans don't like to look at...the rest of the game.

This topic was based just on "The No Catch" and I just based my opinion on why I thought it should have been. But Dallas had plenty of chances to blow it open and it this "No Catch" scenario would have never taken place.

Jan 11, 2015, 7:36 PM

Just an engineer so I am probably not as smart as any info rules guru, but how is it that in spite of this phantom, esoteric & theoretical 'football move' - a receiver can snag a ball going out of bounds and it is a catch? Questioning mind while I agree Dallas did other things to lose this game before this one play.
