Yeah, I have no idea how they didn't even consider reviewing that. He catch it, made three steps, hit the ground, and the ball didn't budge until it hit the ground.

Under the new rules, that was an incomplete pass. Under the new rules, Butch Johnson's Super Bowl TD catch would have been an incomplete pass.

Fortunately, it didn't cost us the game.

Clearly a catch.

What irritated me almost as much was Buck and Aikman saying it came out before he hit the ground with a clear relay right in front of them.
They are so afraid of especially Giant fans calling them homers.
It's nauseating

If we were going to call a time out why not challenge the catch by Dez anyway? I just don't get that. He clearly made the catch and started to run with the ball. What do you guys think?

Very confused as to how that wasn't a catch.

Not being biased. It's just that obvious that he caught that ball.

You can't challenge under 2 minutes.

Words cannot describe how irate I would've been had we missed a longer FG because of the incompetence by the officials.

Can't challenge under 2 mins but it was clearly a catch. Always had control and took a few steps.

Yeah. I'm not ready to let that call slide. The NFL got some splainin' to do. And Buck is a *****-liar for trying to dismiss that play. Those kinds of plays are absolutely stains on the integrity of the game.

It's one thing to screw up a call. But to refuse to review it...even when there was a timeout and break to advertisement. And it was OBVIOUSLY a catch.

I see a couple more of those and I'll conclude this is the NBA where gambling interests are determining the outcome.

Not only that. It would have made us kick a 50 yarder to take the lead, then it would have given NY the ball back with a timeout and 1:30 left.
