***The Second Call/NonCall good/bad conspiracy etc thread***merged**

MOD EDIT:

No need to start multiple new threads every day with basically the same arguments or questions that have been argued and asked multiple times by multiple people in multiple threads.

Start putting them in this thread so we can have them confined to one area instead of littering the fan page with the same thing by different people.

I need another drink, brb

I believe this was taken after the ball hits the ground...

 

[mugsybows]

I've been saying it all day. Never hit the ground. Steratore said he saw another angle where it did. I want to see the angles he saw. Dudes full of crap

 

[Doomsday]

That is what I have been saying, there is absolutely ZERO evidence that the ball conclusively hit the ground.

For all anyone knows that ball popped up due to the force of his arms hitting the ground, not the ball.

 

[Staubacher]

Hand was around ball even if it touched the ground. Call on field must stand

 

[BiffWellingtonIII]

I'm sick to my stomach

 

[CF74]

His arm was between Mother Earth and the Fargan pigskin.....

 

[TonyS]

The ball hits the ground at the same time as his forearm, which is what causes the ball to shoot into the air. The point is that it doesn't matter one iota if the ball hit the ground, the catch was made and under Dez' control and he was making a move toward the endzone. It was the worst call ever. I told my buddy we were going to not only lose the TD on the call, but also the catch.

Now we need to get on with our lives!

"In our judgment, he maintained possession but continued to fall and never had another act common to the game."

 

[mugsybows]

"He didn't outstretch his arm to the place I wanted him to in my mind"

Clearly an agenda by the NFL to make up for last week and this was the perfect opportunity. Too bad that they don't even try to hide it anymore

Becoming the xfl. Soon enough players from other teams will run out onto the field and hit players with chairs while another player distracts the ref. the game has become so predictable and pathetic

we got jobbed today......sort of WWE style and it's pathetic how the normally fiery media (ie Detroit game controversy) is so hush. Just terrible and anyone who knows squat about football knows something funky happened here.....

Listen bucko, a good grieving process takes 7 days....

When it happens to Dallas it's funny and we deserve it. When it happens for Dallas its a travesty

More like......how many days until camp???

Twisting the knife

 

[Idgit]

'Don't put yourselves in a position where a referee's call can cost you the game.' It's good advice. We should expect a team that understands and honors that. To their credit, with the exception of Dez (and I don't blame Dez for it), that's pretty much exactly what we did.
I really hope we don't end up whining half as much as Detroit did after their QB threw a ball into a defenders back last week.

 

[Dale]

I don't think there was an agenda against us, but it has crossed my mind that the NFL thought twice about awarding a close call our way after what went down last week.
