Twitter: Eight years ago today, "Dez Caught It"

[gtb1943]

I wonder if 20 years or so down the line this 'The Catch' will rival the original 'The Catch'

I doubt it myself; THAT one beat us for sure in a NFC Championship Game.

And of course the way to fight the system is to endorse articles that are misleading hoping no one reads it to discover what actually happened. Sounds legit.

Your claim they are misleading has no credibility. It is like a non drinker being asked to recommend a good malt whisky.

Quarterbacks must throw catchable passes. Short. Intermediate. Deep. It is their responsibility.

Romo threw a perfect deep pass. On the sideline in fact.

Who is to blame?

Not the receiver.

Not the official across the country overturning the ruling on the field.

Who?

The quarterback.

I have said before that Romo's pass was absolutely perfect. It was exactly where it needed to be. The DB got a finger on it but the high point placement was excellent. Yes, Dez did what was instinctual but he fell over the DB which made him slip on his 3rd step, he couldn't push off to execute the lunge, and landed so hard it made the ball come loose. So I don't blame Dez either. It was just unlucky and he got no help from the way the rules were structured back then.

You didn't. You read the title but pretend not to notice the contents don't match. Go back and read my Cliff's Notes post to you. It explains how.

You sound like MountaineerCowboy making up lies and false accusations just because you're too stubborn and hard headed to admit you're wrong. Go back to school. Learn the English language properly so you can understand what you are reading.

Of course there's no credibility if you don't actually read the article, lol.

And did you mean credibility like you claiming to be "new here" to take a swipe at me Sunday yet in this thread you know my years long history of posting on this site? Does your demonstrating you're a liar give you any credibility? Freud would love your textbook example of projection.

More textbook projection. You're well known around here as a double down liar once you've been corrected so I'll let the rep speak for itself.

There was no fumble because the ground cannot cause a fumble once a player has possession and is touched. The only reason the ball touches the ground is because Dez has possession of the ball to switch hands and reach for the goal line (two football moves). It’s like saying the player caught the ball but because the ball touched the ground he never caught it, even though the ball popped up, onto his forearm and shoulder and into his arms in the end zone never touching the ground again. It’s an absurd interpretation of a non-catch even according to the rule.

OK you're totally wrong! The ground CAN cause a fumble as long as you're not touched or down by contact! Please know the rules before you comment thanks.

personal hatred for a player always clouds someones 'judgement'
It happened to fast for anyone to think anything
But you go ahead and hate

Tag me to the post where I have personal hate for a player.

The play is 100% Dez fault. All you need to do is securre the ball. Make the catch. As usual Dez brain cell count costs us big time.

Basically you claimed Dez the glory hound thought about making a big play even as he was in the middle of a big play
Which means you have a very limited grasp of reality or your personal HATE for dez clouds it

 

[MarionBarberThe4th]

Marcus Rock says it was not a catch due to proper interpretation of the rule at the time

I laugh at that; you look at all the other catches in other games rule OK and they were often MUCH MORE QUESTIONABLE than this

The officials blew the call; and the League admitted it years later

Not only that but the ball never definitely hit the ground anyways. Mot beyond reasonable doubt !

an aggressive player will always be aggressive
to be blunt you and hardine need to get a grip on Dez and that play.

Blandino again - he made a career of over ruling other officials

I wonder if anyone on this current roster would have the plums to make that throw too


I forgot how much time was left! We probably woulda had to answer the packers scoring drive after that anyways

who knows? Like those whining romo should have been less agressive; Dez should have been less agressive and so on
Playing it safe rarely wins big games

This shows you suffer from Dunning-Krugar and you are to stupid to know you're stupid. Dez wanted to play hero ball instead of securing a pass that would've gave the Cowboys a first and goal .
You can't differentiate criticism for hate .
Now tag me to a post that shows I have personal hate for ANY player Dunning-Krugar boy.

still sad we had great play and chance at beating GB on that one play which was called correctly on the field and having it overturned was a gut punch. that possibly changed Romo, dez, martin, 77, and wittens and others career narratives. not a guarantee we win but that's big play that changes momentum and the score.

I dunno about that. Don't overcomplicate it. He could have caught it. We could have won. He didn't. We didn't. He wasn't the only one that made mistakes but on that particular play it was 100% on him to catch the ball. Everyone else did their jobs on that play. He did not.

I said “touched”.
