Saw the Cowboys/Packers Dez non catch game on NFL network

LOL clown. Look up what the “spirit of a rule” means. Another term you don’t understand.

I'm going by your buddy gtb's definition in Post #162 since he's the one who brought it up. He said the definition is that they make sure something is a catch. Well, they made double sure using replay and determined it wasn't a catch. What's the problem?

But when you need to resort to using "spirit of the rule" to shoehorn a result you KNOW didn't happen by the plain rules, you're trying out for the boondoggle Olympics in the shallow end of the pool, lol. Accept reality, my friend.

no, Dez played like Dez. Always going for the gold
and virtually every single top WR would do the same
take you claim and stick it where the sun does not shine

He made a dumb *** decision that led to a loss. What I said is absolute fact. You can take a long walk on a short pier you turd eating clown.

Absolutely. It reversed the momentum. We started taking control of the game like we did in all of our victories. After they took the 7-0 lead, they couldn't stop us. We were up 10-7, and if we scored on that drive, I think the Packers were on an uphill battle. The fumble running through that gaping hole changed everything.

Actually we were up 14-10 but one of those TDs was after we got a Rodgers fumble in our own territory. So Green Bay could say the same thing. Also, we held them to a FG after Murray's fumble and would later go up 21-13 and they still more than overcame a potential 21-10 deficit. Murray's fumble was significant but not that significant in the big picture.

forever worshipping the rules instead of the game
BY CHANGING THE RULE THEY ADMITTED THEY WERE WRONG
you just cannot admit that your gods the rules are not perfect

If that's the over-rationalizing, shoehorning you need due to the desperation of not admitting coming up short again in a debate you have no place participating in, then have at it.

That’s not a definition. You go by what the term actually means, Mr. I’m going to go by the letter of the rule, but I’m just going to use something I think is a definition when it’s convenient for me.

Again, the fact that you double down and think that the “spirit of the rule”, like the “spirit of the law”, is about “shoehorning” something shows how ridiculously ignorant you are.

You’re the one who claimed the interpretation of rule was also correct according to the spirit of the rule too. It’s not might fault you made an ASSumption about what that term means and ASSumed something wrong.

So you're saying your buddy gtb doesn't know what the hell he's talking about either. We agree.

I know they can say the same thing. But they were the favorites. We needed all the help we could get, and could not afford mistakes. To me, that Murray fumble was the turning point in the game.

Weak response.
Ill consider this your concession post.

Cowboys called a timeout.

That’s right!! Now I remember well. I was like damn if they didn’t call a timeout the drive keeps going and who knows?

Some of my thoughts:

-This may of been the best Cowboy offense we have seen over the last 20 years:

-Elite OL (Leary/Parnell), Elite running game(Murray), very good receiving options (prime Dez, Witten, Beasley and TWilliams) Huge Murray fumble at the end of the 1st half was a big momentum swing.

-Defense was very suspect. Couldn't get any pressure on a injured Rodgers. Rookie Devonta Adams had a huge game as the Cowboy defenders keyed on stopping Jordy Nelson, Randall Cobb. Huge 3rd and 15 for a long TD in the 3rd qrt changed the game.

Dez call was total BS as we all know, but it wouldn't of mattered as the defense couldn't get a stop.

Some conclusions based on what I saw compared to this Cowboy Team:

-Our current offense has similar receiving weapons, but the OL/run game is the biggest difference. It makes sense that they made fixing the run game an offseason priority. It is still very much a work in progress.

-Defensively, our current group is far more talented.

Mincey/Selvie and a rookie DLaw were our pass rushers. Hayden/Crawford were our DT's. McClain was out due to injury, saw Hitchens/Carter at backer, Carr/Steling Moore were at corner, Scandrick in the nickel, Wilcox/Heath at Safety.

Remember our DC was Marinelli and Eberflus was our LB coach. Eberflus did a tremendous job was turning around McClain's career at the time, Hitchens was suppose to be a undrafted fa and became a solid starter. Point is, don't discount Eberflus coaching chops.

Yeah, I remember Rodgers back there basically on one leg just picking apart the defense. It was embarrassing.
