Done with the NFLs officiating

Calvin Johnson rule. The call was correct but it's a really stupid rule and we're not the first team to get screwed by it

Yes. Correct call. Dumb rule

 

[ghst187]

worst call, rule or not, in the history of the game period

Packers didn't beat us

Check the schedule for the NFC Championship game

I can handle losing. Hell, GB played better. But not on an overturned call.

 

[AmericanCowboy]

caught the ball, moved it to his right hand, moved it to his left hand to reach for the goal line- that's not a football move?

 

[kaboy]

Absolutely the worst call ever. It wasn't even close, Dez made the catch and took at least two steps.

 

[KJJ]

Dez took 3 steps before he went down with the football. That was a catch. Officiating is trash. That cost the game.

He never really made a football move before going down and the ball touching the ground but only figures most here will blame that call on the Cowboys losing.

That's pretty much the essence of the Calvin Johnson rule unfortunately.

Every time I have seen a team screwed by that idiotic call, I cringe.

as I recall, Johnson was in the end zone and just fell down. It still should have been a TD for him, but the Dez call is much worse

The NFL is becoming wrestling.

NO IT IS NOT. Show me where the ball was popped up by the ground. There was no replay that showed that...therefore...it cannot be overturned. So basic guys....it is ...to quote Stafford, "Unbelievable."

 

[Givincer]

Frankly, while I think this was a bad call, we didn't lose because of refs. We lost because of untimely sacks and 6 point swing before half.

 

[perrykemp]

I don't know who would have won the game had they not overruled the catch (and presumably scored a TD), however, it's an absolute shame that stupid rule prevented from ever knowing.

 

[Romo_To_Dez]

This was a make up call from the last game.

Packers didn't beat us. The refs did.

Very poor call...............Dez took three steps.

 

[AmericanCowboy]

pretty sure to over turn there needs to be CONCLUSIVE proof- I don't see how that is conclusive- just like Seattle in 06

 

[loublue22]

He never really made a football move before going down and the ball touching the ground.

lunging for the goal line isn't a football move?

 

[Doomsday]

Yes. Correct call. Dumb rule

BS, 3 steps and a dive for the end zone is a football move to any one not fixing games.

 

[MrMavsMan]

I had to hear on the XM radio for 6 days straight about that lions call, they will probably only mention that Dez catch for a few minutes and move on...

 

[Gaede]

The ball is in his hands as it bounces out. It doesn't touch the ground. No different than the Cobb catch earlier in the game.
