Done with the NFLs officiating

[dstovall5]

For the first time in NFL history, refs advance to the NFC championship game.

Should have been a touchdown for Dez recoving his own funble in the end zone.

 

[mahoneybill]

Post game show..

Had a yada yada refs cover each other

Howie long & others look like BS....... Refs.....

 

[tyke1doe]

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

Detroit Lions fans say, "Hello."

 

[KJJ]

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.

I'm not making myself look silly I watched the play and said it would be reversed before they ever reviewed it.

 

[ConstantReboot]

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

Thats not the Calvin Johnson call. He establish that he had the ball, took 2-3 steps and lunged into the endzone. The ground caused the fumble. I don't know what your looking at. The best call would be to have the play stand. That was the worst call in the history of the NFL.

 

[revospeed]

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.

I completely agree. It's sad. I just hate seeing Aaron Rodger's face.

 

[mugsybows]

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

Is mike ever right?! Dudes terrible

I wana know what happened to the rule of reviewing where if evidence isn't indisputable, you stay with the call on the field. In my biased eyes, that should have been a catch, but how can anybody say there was definitive video evidence justifying one call or the other? There wasn't. It was called a catch on the field and should have remained one just like the Cobb call

 

[KJJ]

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?

It was a judgement call had the ball not touched the ground and came loose it would have stood.

 

[mahoneybill]

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

Howie long arguing that point on post game show....

 

[ConstantReboot]

I'm not making myself look silly I watched the play and said it would be reversed before they ever reviewed it.

Why would it be reversed? Its obvious he had control of the ball. Took 2-3 steps. Then lunged into the endzone which caused the fumble. The thing to read here is he had control, took 2-3 steps. Thats a completion. Now go argue over something else.

wrong. i posted the rule. doesnt even come close to pure definition.

Mike Perria just explained the rule, can't be any clearer than that, and I agree with him...it's an incomplete pass

 

[hairic]

Bryant gets jobbed on these frequently (ie last season vs New York). He has control from the top of the catch, takes multiple steps, and lunges. It was 3 steps, two elbows, and a full second of control.

 

[40yrpatsfan]

Pats fan here. Obviously a catch then a separate act to try to extend to the goal line. Hosed, terrible call.

Too bad, I was looking forward to a Dallas-NE super bowl.

 

[links18]

Awful call that literally decided the game. We got it in our favour last week and now against us. Just awful. If the NFL isn't rigged, I don't know what it is.

He literally has the ball in his hand the whole time and it never touches the ground. Not once.

The NFL is not rigged, by the officiating is very poor and inconsistent, probably because the rules are overly complex and nobody really understands them. BTW, why is an NFL playoff ref, refing multiple college basketball games the week before this game?

 

[Romo_To_Dez]

You know that the Refs messed up when a player from a Rival team calls them out. Odell Beckham Jr is on our side about the call

 

[ConstantReboot]

It was a judgement call had the ball not touched the ground and came loose it would have stood.

Judgement call? Like I said he had full control of the ball and took 2-3 steps. Stop with the silliness.

I agree. I am not understanding how it was anymore conclusive enough to reverse the call than any others. In fact it was a clear catch.
