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.

Wow. I don't think the reversal was wrong, I think it's just a bad rule.

stupid rule. The ball was clearly caught

Cowboys got the calls last week, not this week though.

correct call.

 

not close

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.

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.

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.

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.

Was a catch. He made a football move. Cowboys got screwed.

I thought he caught the ball. Hard to root either way I hate both teams.

he was on his way to the ground the entire time.

Packers luck at home is unreal. Fox will promote Rodgers as toughest player ever to play the game s*** will flow for a week.

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

Alright. Go Seahawks.

the ball popped up in the air and he re-caught it on his back.

 

 

and if he "quickly recovered it" then that means at one point he lost the ball.

Rodgers is a god. Bow before him.

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.

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.

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

I told you this would be close.

 

And yeah, the Seahawks are gonna murder a gimpy Rodgers.

Once I saw that ball pop up after hitting the ground I said no. The ground jarred it loose.

yep, everyone should be familiar with the "process"... when he came up bobbling it i knew it was going to be overturned.

yup

 

it was pretty clear

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.
