Dez was going for the end zone like he always was; because that is what mattersHe wanted to make a ESPN highlight reel instead of securing the ball before hitting the ground and it cost us the chance to win the game. He didn't catch it.
Going to the end zone is meaningless if you don't secure the ball first.Dez was going for the end zone like he always was; because that is what matters
he caught it in the opinion of pretty much every single football player asked so you are as usual wrong
glad I listen to other PROFESSIONAL PLAYERS that said it was and you like to forget that even the NFL said it was a catch later.Going to the end zone is meaningless if you don't secure the ball first.
He should've secured the catch. That would've made it first and goal.
They could've ran more time off the clock or force the Packers to call time outs.
I knew the second I seen that replay it was going to be ruled incomplete. And I was right.
You don't extend the ball away from your body while trying to catch it.
It was a catch later. It wasn't a catch then. I listen to professional players also.glad I listen to other PROFESSIONAL PLAYERS that said it was and you like to forget that even the NFL said it was a catch later.
Enjoy being alone and wrong
1. It wasn’t a catch under the rules at that time. That is true.Going to the end zone is meaningless if you don't secure the ball first.

He was extending an unsecured ball. That's why the ball bounced off the grass.1. It wasn’t a catch under the rules at that time. That is true.
2. It would be a catch today and under any reasonable ruling. There is a reason the rule changed bc it’s stupid.
3. You can’t extend the ball , if you don’t have control of it already.
You can’t extend the ball if you don’t have it under control. He lost control as he hit the ground, not before he hit the ground. None of that matters. What matters is the rule changed after that and it would now be a catch. Because that rule was stupid.He was extending an unsecured ball. That's why the ball bounced off the grass.
As he was going down he shifted the ball from his left hand to his right hand and he didn't fully have control as the ball hit the ground. He should've tucked the ball into his body as he was falling down or not switch the ball to his other hand.You can’t extend the ball if you don’t have it under control.

I don’t have an argument w that stance. Catch the ball first, absolutely. Thats unarguable. Doesn’t change the fact that the rule was stupid.As he was going down he shifted the ball from his left hand to his right hand and he didn't fully have control as the ball hit the ground.

I'm 99% sure DeMarco Murray would've gotten the ball in the endzone on the very next play. Unfortunately we will never know.I don’t have an argument w that stance. Catch the ball first, absolutely. Thats unarguable. Doesn’t change the fact that the rule was stupid.
I agree and we likely still would have lost the game. But we will never know, as you said. And I was at that game. BrutalI'm 99% sure DeMarco Murray would've gotten the ball in the endzone on the very next play. Unfortunately we will never know.
everything you said was 100% opinionIt was a catch later. It wasn't a catch then. I listen to professional players also.
Everything I said is 100% correct.
And right there is your own admission of blowing itAs he was going down he shifted the ball from his left hand to his right hand and he didn't fully have control as the ball hit the ground. He should've tucked the ball into his body as he was falling down or not switch the ball to his other hand.
that's not what the game stats say....Dez caught it
