Done with the NFLs officiating

[KJJ]

The ball came loose when Dez lunged and hit the ground that's what cost him the catch.

The ball touched the ground while he was lunging it's clear why the call was reversed.

can you just go away

you are awful

 

[AmericanCowboy]

Howie Long on our side.

 

[ConstantReboot]

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

Its a catch. Stupid refs are ruining this game.

 

[Jammer]

I dont even know what that rule is.

 

[BRoni]

I'm more disturbed by the earlier review where the ball clearly hits the ground. Did the refs not have the camera angle that we had and if so, why not?

 

[greatwallofdallas]

How do you over turn that catch but not the one before the half?

 

[AmericanCowboy]

even ******* odell beckham was shocked.

 

[Eddie]

Refs are too heavy handed. Deciding outcomes of games.

Isn't that a football move?

 

[The Quest for Six]

absolute correct call, pure definition of the C Johnson rule... unfortunately, these same calls are made and reviewed every week in the NFL..

 

[mitchell2254]

Dez's playmaking ability was the death of him. If he just catches the ball without stretching for the goalline we probably win. Sucks. Terrible Rule. My heart hurts.

 

[ConstantReboot]

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.

Did you actually watch the play? Dude stop making yourself look silly. He caught the ball and took 2-3 steps, lunged into the endzone which caused the ball to pop out. The ground can't cause the fumble.

 

[Doomsday]

I suppose this was a catch as well.

 

[Lodeus]

Mike Prerria sounds confused.

He was extending for the goal line. It was a football move after he clearly had possession. Anyone arguing that call was botched doesn't know anything. Pereira just looked like an absolute clown contradicting himself 2-3 times trying to explain it.

Seriously. The steps don't matter? So five steps would have meant the same thing?

Gotcha.

 

[Cowboys22]

He took two steps before that which is still a football move.

No it is not. As soon as he comes down he is falling down. Therefore he must maintain full possession and he did not. Again, hate the rule because it is absolute crap. That should be a catch and it was a catch for 100 years before they changed the rule. He went to the ground and lost possession. By rule that's not a catch.

 

[Doc50]

We got hosed.

The discussion over the next several weeks and years will confirm that.

Dez took two steps with the ball firmly in control. He took 2 steps - a football move.

If anything, that could have been a fumble with recovery for a touchdown.

If the interpretation of the rules supports this call, they need to be changed or re-interpreted.

Looks like a make-up call from the controversy against the Lions.

Mike Prerria sounds confused.

He just contradicted himself at least 3 times in the same interview. I get the solidarity, but he's wrong.
