I Hate Mike Pereira

After the Beasley touchdown did everyone hear what he said?

He was trying to argue that Beasley's catch could be overruled and not be a touch down. And he tried to point out why.

I think he has some bias against the Cowboys. He just seems his calls seems to work against us.

The best part was the official coming on and announcing that the ruling stood while he was in the middle of blathering on about why it might not.

the dude has never been right......I loved how the ref cut him off mid sentence to say the call

 

[Zordon]

Yeah I was screaming some foul stuff at that moment. I don't know anybody who watches the NFL regularly that cares for his opinions. He seems to always make our calls controversial to increase intrigue.

 

[Don Corleone]

No doubt he influenced Blandino's decision by basically demanding air time and going on a rant about Dez's catch against the Packers back in 2014. He knew what he was doing.

I was upset that it wasn't overturned. It is literally the exact situation if the Dex no catch. Its the worst part about all of this horse Hockey they just can't be consistent in what really makes a catch!!!! It drives me insane

They wouldn't overturn the Dez catch right now. The ruling on the field would have stood. They only changed the rules last year to try to justify that robbery.

The really funny part was that he was asked during the Fox pre game broadcast about of the catch rules were hard to understand and he said that he understood what was a catch and what was not easily and that it really was not hard to figure out. That the catch rule WAS consistent if you understood it like he did.

Then he proved that all a bunch of hogwash in the Cowboy game.

While I believe the Dez play was an actual catch because Dez has an unnatural ability to lunge for the end zone after quickly establishing control, Beasleys catch was different in that he didn't go to the ground while in the process of making the catch. He already established control and ran with the ball before lunging towards the end zone. He didn't fall to the ground while in the act of making the catch. He went to the ground intentionally after making the catch.

While Dez had the same intent and his catch was a catch I can see the difference.

I thought Brandon specifically said that with the new rule the Dez catch still would have been overturned

They have specifically said that they made it harder to overturn catches. A catch like the Dez catch would stand IMO because the official standing right there got it right.

But we weren't getting that call no matter what, because of the fallout from the Lions game. So that catch in and of itself can't be discussed logically. That was simply a call that was going to go against us if it was in any way possible just so the officials could say,"See? They aren't getting the calls." So yes, the Dez catch would still be overturned - but an exact catch by another player in a different game would stand under the current rules.

That's my take.

Beas's catch was no different than Dez's. I thought for sure it would get overruled. Two steps dive, ball hits ground and comes out. No clue why it's any different.

Because Dez caught it, but they'll never admit it.

I thought so at first too, but the two biggest differences were...

1.Beasley never bobbled that catch.

2. He very clearly lunges. Both feet can be seen pushing turf as he turns, which indicates he is not merely falling in the process of a catch.

 

[Boyzmamacita]

The test to me is the fact that if Dez's play had been ruled a catch down at the 1 yard line, nobody would've disputed the call. We would not be discussing it as a controversy today but as a great play between Dez and Romo up there with Aikman to Harper in SF. Cowboys haters knew it was a catch. The Green Bay faithful knew it was a catch. The defending DB knew it was a catch. The ref on the field knew it was a catch. So if the ruling on the play stood, no one would've been talking about it the next day. Yet the opposite happened and the discussion went on for months to the point where the NFL changed the wording of the rule. That's the test - whether or not we (Cowboys fans and haters alike) would still be discussing it if they had not reversed it. We would not because it was a catch and everybody knows it.

Seriously? Dirt flew up in the air from Dez's lunge. He clearly made a football move.

Except that Beas catch crossed the goaline.

According to how the rule is written, it could have gone either way

I am past if we got the call or not. I just want there to be consistency in the calls. It's frustrating

 

[TellerMorrow34]

The problem, and it was pretty obvious by this guys attempt to explain why it might not be a catch, is that these guys clearly don't understand the difference between football moves (Like diving) and going to the ground as the process of the catch.

He was trying to act like Beasley catching it, turning, going forward, and diving was all the process of falling down, rather than a process of football moves.

These people are idiots.
