Sam Shields on Dez Bryant: "It was a catch. I was in great coverage...he made a helluva catch" http://t.co/kfoufwxGqe http://t.co/28nP4EOYLy

I made an earlier thread saying basically this . It was deleted but the thread was "he made the play he beat his man ".

Bottom line he beasted. Everything about what he did was awesome footballing

Speaks highly of Sam Shields to say that.

Can you imagine kids playing football, in their school yards/back yards, after catching the ball and getting 3 feet down saying no catch because you didn't make a football move?
Only in the NFL.

I think pretty much everybody knows it was a catch.

Ancient history now. Time to move on.

We all know it was a catch. Shields is a stand up act for saying what he did, a lot of players in that position wouldnt give that credit. ie: Seattle after the replacement ref game.

 

[Idgit]

Actually, we know it was a catch. It's nice to hear the CB in coverage say it, too. That's pretty stand-up of him.

Is he a free agent?

 

[BoysFan4ever]

Too bad there is zero that can be done about it now.

Shields even acknowledged that Dez attempted to reach for the goal line after securing the ball...how the refs didn't realize that still astounds and befuddles me. That is a football move I believe...smh

 

[JoeBoBBY]

I have been trying to let it go. I have made improvements these last few days.

But this play aint going anywhere.... Ill be 80, if im lucky enough to make it that far, and Ill be complaining to someone , somewhere, about this play...

I will be watching Pittsburgh Genes every call too..... Little hometown sneak, plays favorites, whenever he sees his chance....

That rule and it's long winded detail of the process should have never been approved.

It was a great pass by Romo, great defense by Shields, and even a greater catch by Dez.
IMO, this is indisputable.

Dallas was robbed...on that play.
We'll never know if it cost us the game or not, but that was 100% for sure a catch.
They need to close the loophole on that rule to leave no room for replay officials to take it away.

I haven't seen anyplace where a Packer talked about the game and disputed it wasn't a catch.

The worst I've seen is along the lines "We can only control we can control..."

I think it's easier for the Packers to admit it because it (A) It costs them nothing to do so and (B) Even if it was a catch, the game was likely a 50/50 proposition at that point going forward.

Unlike the Pats, specifically Belicheck and Brady at this point , Shields comes off as a man/athlete with " integrity"..

Definitely Sherman and maybe Rodgers said it was not a catch, but I hadn't heard any of the defensive plays deny the truth.

 

[Clarkson]

all this stuff does is make me mad and sad.
what an amazing catch ripped away.

 

[MarionBarberThe4th]

What an amazing -
1. Moment
2. Game
- Ripped away

Aaron Rogers said in his post game comments that he knew if wasn't a catch "because everyone knows the Calvin Johnson rule"

Heard it myself from the drama queen

 

[Risen Star]

It was his typical ridiculous catch but at such a critical moment in a playoff game.

So not only can he make those types of plays, he can make them in the biggest moments too.

There's no telling what else he would have done had the call stood.
