Twitter: New catch rule going into effect

That Green Bay play changed the narrative of Romo's career, it's a shame the catch rule was ever there to begin with.

sick of this bs, we got screwed, so they had to stay with the garbage for a couple years to try and justify their garbage... Ugh, what could've been, who knows how the game woul'dve ended, but we had a great shot

Bingo. Knowing the luck of Dallas, the new rule will in turn screw us over again

 

[Bleedblue1111]

Finally!

 

[Stash]

Better late than never! Ya jackasses!

what a joke.

"The new catch rule, Vincent said, will require only that a receiver have control of the football, and any slight movement of the football in the receiver’s hands detected via replay review would not result in an incompletion.

The new rule will eliminate the requirement that a receiver who is in the process of going to the ground while making a catch must maintain control of the football while on the turf to be awarded a legal catch.

The replay standard for overturning an on-field ruling of a catch will be indisputable video evidence rather than clear and obvious.

“The Dez Bryant play, that’d be a catch” under the new rule, Vincent said, mentioning a series of controversial non-catch calls over the years. “The Jesse James play, that’d be a catch.”"
​

We'll see. It should never have been this hard. It's a joke.

Too late now

Rule will be that if the Dez play happens again they promise to rule it a catch this time.

We got screwed, the ref standing there ruled it a catch and down a yard or 1/2 yard short of the goal line.

Just when I try to put it behind me they drag it back up. Media will be replaying that play to show how they changed the rule now.

I’ve been saying for three years the league will get rid of the “going to the ground” part of the rule or make some major modifications to it. That’s the part of the rule that’s caused most of the confusion and has negated several great catches.

for 95 years every NFL fan knew what a catch was and then the Perrerias and Blandinos of the world became part of the narrative almost every week. It sickens me every time they have Perreria up in the booth with Aikman and Buck as part of the "3 man crew". And then the NFL owners in charge of Goodells compensation were tripping over themselves to get him an extension even though he still had 18 months left on his contract. It just goes to show you how out of touch they have become with so much of the diehard fan base.

Too late for us but the controversy the Dez catch created did some good in helping to get the rule changed.

You knew when the Steelers got hosed it would change

You knew when the Steelers got hosed it would change

this is the reason for the change in the rule the steelers getting hosed

 

[Air Force One]

Well at least they changed it. This has been one of the biggest things for me in questioning why I even watched anymore. This will make for better football again. Not necessarily for the Cowboys, just football in general.

 

[Stash]

Can we make sure to call this the "Blandino Rule"?

I rationalize that the Dez play spared us the agony of Aaron Rodgers marching down the field and ripping our hearts out with 3 seconds left...not that anything like that could ever happen.

 

[Tangle_Foot]

Blah blah blah let's stop whining and play ball!

C’mon man let it go! We don’t need to turn this into yet another Dez catch cry fest. You’re dragging it back up by continuing to cry over the ruling. The rule is being changed.
