This day in Cowboys history - The Dez Bryant Catch

[FloridaRob]

Well, this is a Cowboys forum. The whole point is to talk Cowboys.

In other news bart Starr did a qb sneak at the end of the ice bowl and jerry Kramer did not move early.

False false and more false.

Nope every word I said was accurate. You might not like it but the truth doesn’t care about your feelings. Other similar catches were ruled incomplete and because this was dumb they changed the rule. However the fact is under the rule that was not a catch.

Can’t believe it’s been so long

It was a catch that day and three years later when they finally ruled it same.

You have to hold the ball all the way through on the catch and it can't hit the ground at any point, so no he didn't catch it. But let's say he did catch it and it was a TD. They had 4 minutes left on the clock. What do you think Rodgers does with 4 minutes?

Cowboys coach Jason Garrett said he thought Bryant got his feet down, then made a move common to the game.

Watching that game now on NFLN. Looks like our same defense. Lacey running all over them!! Lol

It was a 4th and 2, Romo should have gone for the first down to either Beasley or Witten and milked the clock. Had Dez scored on that play, Rodgers had plenty of time to move the Packers in position for the winning score. After the catch was overturned we couldn’t stop the Packers from eating up the clock. Our defense got us beat that day. Rodgers looked like he was running around on a peg leg and we had no pass rush. We only had 28 sacks that season after moving from DWare.

If Murray didn’t fumble on basically a fluke attempt by Peppers (IIRC) that game was probably over at that point, maybe anyway

I’m sorry but no way was that game over with just over 11 minutes left in the third-quarter with the Cowboys up 14-10 had Murray not fumbled. Don’t know how you’re coming to that conclusion. It only cost us 3 points and we were still up 14-13 with over 7 minutes left in the third-quarter.

They should play it on the jumbotron every single time there is a stoppage of play during the game....

Look, if CBS goes back and declares the pope is no longer catholic, that doesn't make it so.

Football has always declare that on a reception has two steps at the second a football is added, that then becomes a run. That was done by Bryant when he then reached for the goal in full possession, That very point he was a runner. No argument. Bryant had full control as the ball passed the goal line. At that very point he scored as the ground can NOT create a fumble or remove that score.

This is still football and not Let's Make a Deal.

the one thing i want from sunday’s game, aside from a win and no injuries, is this:

dak throws to ceedee in that same spot on the field. lamb pops up and throws up the x.

crowd goes wild. announcers go wild. my whole family goes wild.

Again, all false.

By rule it was a catch, other similar plays (even by Dez) were ruled a catch. And the NFL completely botched it and embarrassed themselves thoroughly.

But there are still a few like you who ate up all their nonsense.

Just saw it again(game is on) and it was clearly a catch!

But, there still would have been plenty of time for Rodgers to go win it.

Yeah, I was watching it too! The look on Dez' face pretty much said it all. I don't care what anyone says, but that was and will always be a catch!!

Same, I think we got away from running Murray, like we have a tendency to do, and the fumble didn't help his case for more carries.

That's not a given as four minutes can work two ways as well...
