Cobb's game sealing catch - was it a catch?

[31smackdown]

Has anyone had a chance to look at the Cobb diving catch that sealed the game.. I'm guessing he got his hands under the ball, but I was a little surprised it was not reviewed to confirm since it was a game sealing play that could have easily been challenged if it was not under 2 minutes.

it was a catch....sad to say, but so was Bryant's

 

[spook930]

Looked like he caught it to me.

 

[Avery]

It was a catch.

Now, the catch to end the first half...

 

[Oh_Canada]

Yes it was. The football gods just weren't with the Cowboys yesterday.

 

[hornitosmonster]

He caught it, just dumb luck

 

[NoLuv4Jerry]

It was a catch.

Why is this not being discussed by ANYBODY. It is not even part of the highlight packages on all the shows. This is significant...especially in a game where they OVERTURNED a clear catch! How can we not have discussion about the same officiating crew deeming that a catch! When it bounced TWICE! Do you have a .gif of that?

The fates were with GB. Tipped ball, flutters into his hands, game over.

Saw elsewhere that since it was tipped Scandrick could have drilled him, and possibly prevented the " catch" with no penalty.

If Oscan had just turned his head around on that play he's running in for the pick 6 on his was to Seattle now!

OScan had no way of knowing it had been tipped. I don't think anybody watching knew it until they were shown a close-up, slowed down view of the play.

Cobb had a "catch" earlier in the game that was definitely not a catch because the ball hit the ground.

yup...tipped ball means no PI calls. Scandrick coulda went to town.

Yes and it was a good catch as much as I hate to say.

OScan could not have known that ball was tipped. It's just Football.

In retrospect had that same thought. This game was close in many regards. In the end Green Bay won the battle of who made the most plays for the maximum effect.

Good take.

The Packers got all the breaks yesterday, pure and simple.

What's crazy is Rogers in his postgame presser claims the pass was intended for a different WR(Boykin?)but the tip directed it towards Cobb perfectly. I haven't had the guts to re-watch any parts of the game.

 

[LandryFan]

Good take.

I know when I was watching it live, I had no idea it was tipped until they showed it on replay. At that point, I was wishing that OScan would have known because I can just about guarantee the pass would have been incomplete or intercepted (he could have gone through the receiver without penalty).

That catch proved it was just not meant to be, a tipped ball falls right in his hand..unbelievable
