Why do people think Bryant caught that ball at the end of the game yesterday? Ok. I get it if you aren't sure bc you don't know the rules (idiots) but don't open your fuckin mouth and spew retarded shit like the refs are biased and are screwing the boys on purpose...



It was an incomplete pass. Period. Didn't even deserve a review. Hence why it wasn't reviewed.

Just weird to me. These people clearly don't know the rules. Just shut the fuck up.

It wasnt an incomplete pass. he caught it. He controlled it and made football moves with it. He went down to the ground and ball popped out after he hit the ground. "Ground cannot cause the fumble" rule applies there, but for whatever reason they didnt even bother to look at it again. In the very least it warranted another look via replay booth.

two seconds of research solves this debate

Regarding your tweets, Dez must maintain control after hitting the ground to complete the catch. He did not. Game over anyway; Dallas wins.

again, he took two steps after pinning the ball against his body. the completing the catch through going to the ground applies if he is still in the process of catching it.

catch ball with both hands
pin ball against body
take two steps
ground causes the fumble

that's a catch

Cutler's missing this week. If he comes back against us, he's going to be limited. And the Josh McCown led Bears just got blownt out by the Rams.

We need a win streak going into the GB game.

re: PFF, Bruce Carter

The last time we saw the Cowboys, linebackers Bruce Carter and Ernie Sims were getting demoralized on the ground by the New Orleans Saints and it appears that the bye week did little good to shore up those concerns. Carter graded at -4.6 against the run while Sims came in at -3.5. Carter once again seemed content with sitting at the second level and merely throwing a shoulder in the general direction of his oncoming blocker. He was sealed out of a number of plays as seen on a number of the Giants’ big gainers. Carter’s overall grade was saved by some stellar work in coverage (+2.2) that saw him make a nice read on a screen at the 2:00 mark of the second quarter after he’d already forced a fumble at the 9:29 mark of the quarter. Despite the positives, Carter’s most egregious error came with 4:41 to go in the third quarter as he not only lost track of TE Brandon Myers on the wheel route, but he and free safety Jeff Heath failed to touch him down and Myers got up and scampered into the end zone for the Giants’ first touchdown of the game. As for Sims, like Carter, he spent most of his day watching the action while getting blocked as the second level. Perhaps more beef is needed up front, but the Cowboys linebackers are having some serious issues shedding blocks, particularly in their last two games.

Yeah I don't see how there's any debate about this at all. Had he not caught it and made the football moves (a couple of steps with control) and immediately fell to ground, then yeah it cant come out. But he caught it, ran with it, got tackled and the ball came out after he hit the ground. It was a catch.
