I don't know what they were watching but that ball wasn't at the 30 yard line at any point. They even brought in a NFL official who explained it was the right call, but implied that the ball may have been at the 30 yard line before McClain made contact. Bull! That ball was nowhere near the 30 before or after contact.

They also called Dez's TD controversial. The official said the ball moved in his hands but it wasn't enough to overturn it? I saw the ball move at one point, but Dez clearly had control and the defender knew it by his reaction. Why not just give the Cowboys credit without implying that two great plays in a comeback win are controversial? At least ESPN's Mike and Mike gave the Cowboys credit for a great win.

It way have been but since he was in the air there is no forward progress, at least that is what I gathered by the way Collinsworth explained it.

Because as it was stated earlier this week, ESPN has cowboys hating producers.

Not exactly. It was stated that Skip Bayless' show has Cowboy Hating producers.

As far as how controversial the TD and 4th down call were. We won, don't care.

Whatever. They weren't going to get much further with 25 seconds left from the 30 yd line.

If those sorry officials could see that it didn't get there then NFL Network and all of the other Networks should see it was well.

I would've broke something had they gave him a first down after all the crap that got called against us in that game.


Im sick of the officials keeping these teams in games against us. When will it be our turn?

I really don't see how it's in question at all. Every angle showed that he didn't make it to the 30.

I don't think the ball ever made it to the 30, even in the air. It was a clear cut stop to me from the start. I don't even know how that official could spot it like he did. Great play by RoMac. Not one mention of that.

It is not a catch until you have the ball and 2 feet are down. But your right the ball remained on the other side of the 30 with his back at the 30

On Dez TD catch it doesn't even matter if it moved. It never touched the ground because he had his hand under the ball. He came up with it in full control. It's a catch. It's only controversy because the media is full of stupid people.
