How was Escobar's TD catch not a TD?

[Junglist]

Because his knee hit the ground before the ball crossed the goal line.

You must be high. I'm not hating. I used to smoke like Snoop dogg.

The instant replay was pretty clear in showing at the moment his knee hit the ground the ball had crossed the line by 4" or so.

There were a lot of wierd things in that game and Escobar's non-TD was one of them.

yeah to me ball was over when knee touched and tc guys thought so too.

If Kickers and QB's are defenseless, where was the penalty last week when Romo got laid out after a pick? No outrage?

Except it didn't.

Except it didn't.

After watching it, maybe he was in. Not that big of a deal though.

Somehow it didn't affect the ruling on that Dez catch last year.

Different situation.

 

[links18]

he's 6'6 250+ and he had a step on the defender, he should've lowered his head and ran through the endzone.

I hope someone coaches him up on that this week......

Dunno if it did or didn't, but it was a close play and replay shot was pretty crappy. Ruled not a TD and couldn't be overturned.

We rarely get the benefit of doubt on any close call. I bet with most other teams that is ruled a TD on the field and then reviewed as the rule states. It would not have been overruled had it been called a TD on the field. I'm getting really sick of the referee bias against the Dallas Cowboys.

Anyone?

From TV, it looked clear as day that he was in.

It was a TD, IMO.

His shin definitely hit before his knee, but the ball tip of the ball appeared to be well past the front edge of the white line before his shin was down.

I watched it frame by frame on my DVR and it seemed obvious to me.

In regards to comments that he was not touched, that is incorrect. The defender had grabbed his legs prior to him extending towards to goal-line.

He should never have cut that ball inside and run towards the back pylon. He gave the defender a chance and the defender made the play.

 

[Gaede]

That's a TD all the way. I honestly don't see how it isn't. The tip of that ball is easily touching the line

Lies! YOUR FATE IS ALREADY SEALED.

Anything else, Pereira/Scorsese? Maybe perhaps, "Why The Cowboys Desverved to Receive 287 Penalties but Only Drew 18"?

i thought his catch and fumble wasnt considered a catch
