I can't stand to watch either one yet, nor last night.
What have they been saying?
I just don't want to hear the love fest over GB and Aaron....has Aikman and Buck proposed to him yet?

Was just wondering if all the room not winning crap came up yet.

After the game, a few hate the call. Thinks it needs to changed, and that it was a catch. Then again that was last night. Who knows how most anchors feel today.

Skip got flamed on a sports Forum I'm on.

He made a statement on twitter after CJ lost the ball in the Endzone on the catch, that he was basically an Idiot, for not knowing the rule.

Then last night made a statement that the Refs, screwed us, and told Greenbay congrats, because it was a catch.

So they pasted both statements together, and they are flaming him. So he might change his tune today.

NFLNAM basically just brought in Blandino to support the call for them, and then left it alone. I don't watch ESPN, so I wouldn't be able to help with that one, though my guess would be that they did something stupid and sensational without all that much regard for the actual rule.

They had some older guy from the NFL ref's asssn on to repeat what the Assnt vice pres of refs said.................

ESPN basically went over the rule and said the call was accurate because of the rule. A few guys, supported it, a few guys said it was a catch. All of this going down a week after what happened in the Detroit game certainly isn't getting the Cowboys any sympathy, not to mention, folks seem baffled that Dallas didn't get after Rodgers in the 2nd half.

Norm Hitzges is going nuts on the Ticket, He is the first to ask the question of how a replay official can overturn the ref on the field's judgement of a football move. He (an I) thought the that overturns had to be conclusive evidence. It was not conclusive so the call on the field should have stood. I wish I had recorded his segment.

It's ugly for the NFL right now and they're going to push this under the rug until it's gone.

From what I've seen a lot of people thought it was a catch... They seen Dez intent to reach out to score. Others stand by the rule.

The NFL network panel thought it was a catch with a football move. They were all left scratching their heads....like most of us.

<cue Ratt- round and round>
First, Suh gets suspended, then reinstated. Then, This weeks call was a make up for last week's call. Next week their will be a call to make up for this weeks call. Then in the Super Bowl the Patriots/Colts will get a call to make up for that call. Then the NFC will win the pro bowl on a blown call.

Trey Wingo, Herm Edwards and Dave Waddle had another ex-ref in last night and the gentleman (he was pretty old) was an old school kind of grumpy guy and he kept saying Dez never once had control of the ball and therefore it was a good call. The look on Wingo's face was priceless and out of respect I think for the guys age, he just smiled and kind of left it with, "Let's just say it's a rule that needs to be revisited."

It was an awkward segment to say the least.

Just turned on NFLN, was talking Jerry and getting contracts situations started. But nothing than that. ESPN talking Ohio State / Oregon. Which is what I'll be paying attention to today over NFL.
Will listen to Cowboys stuff when on, if I can.

Especially when you watch the replay and clearly see the turf pop up when he plants his foot to do the extension

Yep listened myself, he was livid.
