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

[Parademon]

Bobby's Dad was named Rob and was an NFL player also (played for parcells in NY)

But you're right there was a Rob carpenter from the Jets

I'm kinda confused

***EDIT*** upon further examination of the Twitter profile pic, that is definitely not Bobby's dad.

Sorry for the confusion

Rob Carpenter played for Houston then the Giants, not Jets.


Were there 42 seconds left in the game? Cuz the way y'all are going about this "non" catch, you'd swear that would have sealed the W for you. No, there was 4:42 left in the game, an eternity of time for a QB like AR to work with. The fact that your D couldn't make him go 3 & out to get the ball back tells you that you would have lost regardless if the Dez catch would have been called a TD. Score would have been 28-26, AR would have just driven down the field on his 1 good leg and beaten you with a GWFG with 15 seconds left. I think that would have been an even more painful way to lose imo.

Yup, Rodgers was gonna at worst tie the game, at best win the game with 4:30 left to play which is too much time to leave someone who got a 1st down on the opponents 35 yard line with 2 minutes left on the very next possession.

You just knew he was gonna win it anyways.

The Cowboys had all the momentum on their side. Packers were in trouble when that play happened.

Two separate Rob Carpenters. Played for a few different teams each. One black (Jets), one white (Bobby's dad). That's where the confusion is occurring

As for the rest of your post, I wasn't going on at all about the catch/non catch. So not sure why you replied to me with that.

Fwiw I tend to agree with you. I do disagree with the call, but I don't necessarily think it cost is the game. The Packers kneeled it out inside our 30. They very well could have scored anyhow.

I think Murray's fumble was a bigger play. He had a clear path to the end zone and that was a dagger.

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

You don't think this is reasonable?

Dallas led at one point 21-13 late in the 3rd. Green Bay rattled off 2 straight touchdowns to go up 26-21. Dallas was merely trying to take momentum back but Green Bay definitely had it at that point.

No I do not.

 

[MarcusRock]

No I do not.

Of course not. Lol.

 

[BigDPlayer]

Still makes my blood boil

 

[diamonddelts]

Things that make you go hmm.....

What is a catch?
What is a woman?

It's funny because there used to be 2 or 3 long videos all showcasing Romo's Interceptions throughout his career. Shortly after they were posted, they no longer exist on YouTube. Ironic how that happened for all 3 anti-Romo videos, yet you still see tons of career highlight reels. Yeah, clearly, those in charge of YouTube caved in to the masses of crybaby and whining Romo fanatics who obviously complained and demanded those 3 videos get taken down. I wonder why? Because it would destroy his image of doing no wrong and costing games and seasons on the football field.

But, Dak sucks, eh?

Lol....you actually....really...think youtube caved to romo fan complaints and THEY removed videos that "make romo look bad".

Then you throw in some random dak comment....which i have never said ( with the exception of two plays...just two).

You've lost your mind over dak, my good man. Bonkers. Nuts

Explain Twitter, Facebook, Google, etc? YouTube is in line with them.

 

[MarionBarberThe4th]

Of course not. Lol.

Let me put it this way. They keep the ball as is and romo and Rodgers play out the last 4 minutes. Are packers fans throwing fits about this call? No, right? That’s Bc dz Caught it and landed and lunges for the end zone and maybe it hit the ground maybe it didn’t. It’s an amazing play. It didn’t need to be overturned.

YouTube is censoring videos that throw shade at Romo?

For the sake of those around you, Get help. Seriously. If you honestly believe this, you're not well

Irrelevant. Games are to be determined by the players on the field with no intervention from the officials unless it is reasonably justified by a violation of the rules. It's possible the Cowboys could've fumbled to at the one yard line and the Packers recovered, or the Cowboys could've scored the go ahead TD, or the Packers could've had a turn over on downs, or Rogers could've been picked off, or Rogers could've drove them down the field and scored, etc. Officials interfering or letting things unreasonably go on game changing plays because the NFL wants this or that story line, or some mafia bosses have gambled top much in Vegas, or "just because" are not legitimate reasons for a league that is supposed to be about sports gameplay with integrity.

That is why the game is played until the final second elapses.

It's going to be interesting to see how the zebras manufacture a way to guarantee we lose this time.

 

[G2]

This again? Haven't we suffered enough?

Again, you'd have to know the ins and outs of the rules to know why it was overturned but no one is willing to examine that, for obvious reasons, while others blatantly ignore or misrepresent what the rules do say to shoehorn conspiracy. And there ain't no maybe. The ball is on the ground. Would love to read the exposé about how the NFL didn't follow their own rules on the play, but outside of Cowboysland that doesn't seem to exist. Why is that? But I get it. Disappointment makes people do interesting things to not accept results and besides denial people can be very creative so that's entertaining at least.

 

[TequilaCowboy]

I still say it was a catch....why would the NFL change the wording of the rule if it was just like the rulebook stated prior to the catch.? It was because the old rule did not exactly describe what happened on the play. Dez made the catch, cradle to his arm, took three steps and lunged to the goal line. Ball came loose in his arm but he was already defined as a runner and not receiver. But who cares now? Really i think Rodgers would have come back and scored winning TD anyway.

 

[catiii]

Lets not forget that it was MM who challenged the catch. Yup, same MM that is coaching Dallas today. Thank you MM can't wait for you to leave town for good.

1. Dez and defender bumped legs as Dez had hands on the ball.
2. Dez leapt forward (not a football move.)
3. Dez is falling forward
4. Ball cradled between Dez's hand and crook of his elbow.
5. Dez hit ground, arm with ball pushed forward to score
6. Ball wrapped in Dez' hand and elbow hits ground.
7. Ball pops up because of hitting the ground.
8. Dez rolls over and catches loose ball.
9. Dez slides into endzone.
10. Ground caused ball to move.

NO CATCH

How is leaping forward to the goal line not a football move? Also, how is switching the ball into one hand and cradling it while catching it with two so he can do the latter not a football move? You can't switch hands without possession.

The interpretation of the rule was twisted in such an absurd way to make it incomplete. It overemphasized the idea of maintaining possession while going to the ground in a way that the rule was not written for and so was completely antithetical to its spirit. It was for situations where the receiver seems to possess the ball while in the air (and so there is no possibility of a football move) or when no football move occurs like when a player falls to the ground immediately after catching it, seems to lose possession while going to the ground, and then either regains possession of the ball before he hits the ground and the ball does not come lose when he does so (complete), or he does not regain possession of the ball and the ball comes lose and hits the ground when he does so (incomplete).

None of those things happened for Dez.
