A lot of words requesting facts already established.
Here is an idea, how about presenting support that is not just Blandino said so? After all that resource was so good at his job he no longer has it and the league is scrambling to fix what got broken under his watch.

Where am I defaulting to what they said? I'm talking rules and how you are applying a different set of rules to a case where they don't apply. Tell me again how you only need "time enough" to commit an act is all that's needed in going to the ground. If you don't have to do anything, why is everyone asking if Dez committed one and catch theorists here desperately try defending that he did one? Now the story is changing to "oh, he just needed time enough and didn't have to perform one." Why spend all the time trying to say he did? Sounds like a morphing argument. You prove "time enough" by an act. The case plays tell you which act, otherwise you're subject to going to the ground.

Still waiting for the support for a rule change in the face of support against it

LOL. So are you confirming a magic stopwatch or not? Misapplying the rules to shoehorn. Gee, that's never happened from catch theorists before.

Support for the rule changing? Why are y'all avoiding this question?

Oh I see it. He is like his partner, saying one phrase means something completely different. They quote something that says "the sky is blue" and claim it clearly says "the sky is pink" and call you crazy for saying that it in fact says it's blue.
Yep.

I get it now. You hope people have not been following the discussion or won't read through the thread so you can make your outragous claims and demands for proof. I tore you apart last night with rule support on this and we supplied support for the rule change too.

TD gives Dallas a 1 pt lead, if the 2 pt conversion is good, it's 3 pts, so a FG to tie. Lots of things could happen outside of Rodgers control. Dallas also could have got the ball back. It is silly to assume one way or the other, but I'll take the lead and take my chances.

Of course you take the lead but have seen the "Mr. State Farm" movie on Lifetime for the last couple of years and the outcome is always the same. With GB walking off the field victorious.

Yes, and we've also seen the Cowboys go to the 3 man rush in those situations, giving Mr. State Farm essentially as much time as he wants to find a receiver.

I'm sick of that. Rush 4, 5 or blitz, but at least make a token effort to put some pressure on the passer....

fixed for ya... we know how this works. Rinse and repeat, claim a lack of comprehension, then demand answers again. Ignore the answers, avoid questions, demand answers. Rinse and repeat endlessly.

We've figured it out now.

Agree, what kind of rush is a 3 man rush? I would have much rather lose those games by blitzing his a-- even though we are not that good of a blitzing team.

Since we are rehashing everything:



Another thing these momentum to the ground people need to look at is what happens to Shields. As they jumped their bodies are parallel to the side line with Shield slightly in front. as they land Shields falls in a straight line while Dez goes from several feet outside the yard marks but lands inside the one yard line has mark. Both landed and turned, but only Dez moved closer to the side line. If he is falling based on just momentum why did his fall take a drastic turn? Because he is trying to extend for the pylon.

You just knew where this thread was headed. Even after the rule is changed some will continue to agonize over that play. Some of you are lucky you weren’t around when Jackie Smith dropped that TD pass in the SB and 20 minutes later Benny Barnes was called for a PI on Lynn Swann for incidental contact. Some of you don’t even know what agonizing is until you live through a couple of plays like that in a SB. Those two plays clearly cost the Cowboys a championship. The Cowboys would have likely lost to Green Bay even had Dez’s catch not been overturned.

Even had the Cowboys somehow pulled that game out they weren’t going to beat Seattle in the NFC title game the following week. They may have beat the Seahawks earlier that season up in Seattle but no way do they beat them with a Super Bowl on the line in front of that frenzied 12th man and their stout defense that held Aaron Rodgers to only 178 yards passing and picked him off twice in the NFC title game. Those who keep spinning that the Dez overturn cost us a championship are dreaming. I’ve lived through plays that cost the Cowboys a championship and the Dez play wasn’t one of them.
