[NFL] vBook: Cowboys vs Packers

[JadeBrecks]

Sacked again even with some serious holding!

 

[FearTheBeard]

Aaron Rodgers is a baaaad man! Threaded the needle!

 

[GoldenDomer]

Aaron Rodgers has a sniper rifle attached to his shoulder.

 

[JadeBrecks]

Romo should have thrown that away rather than take that hit

Brutal , get rid of it .

 

[nvirish]

What a play!

 

[Saint Shamrock]

What a grab by Bryant .

 

[Nick Setta]

That's incomplete

 

[JadeBrecks]

Did the ball not pop out of his hands after it hit the ground? He grabbed it in the air again but the ground popped it out.

This call could be the game. I feel like it is 100% a catch, but I am often left puzzled by the rulings on review. I am not nearly as confident that the the call will be upheld as I am that is was a catch. All I know is that if it isn't a catch, the rule is wrong and needs to be changed, because there is no good argument that would say he didn't catch that ball.

 

[JadeBrecks]

They cut the replay short just before the he lost the ball for a sec.

Yeahh it looks like it hits the ground and was dislodged but i was in his hand at the time. Im curious to see how this one turns out

 

[Irish Insanity]

Did the act of the catch take him to the ground or did he get taken down. That's the difference here.

 

[Irish Insanity]

Back from commercial. That's incomplete.

 

[Rhode Irish]

The NFL is a joke. That is just a bad rule if it was applied correctly.

 

[Irish Insanity]

Had he protected the ball as opposed to lunging towards the end zone he woulda caught it

 

[JadeBrecks]

The ball came out of his hands because of the ground. That is incomplete.

 

[Saint Shamrock]

Shjte call

You're right.

Yes. Horrible rule. His knee and elbow were down prior to the ground causing the fumble. But unfortunately it is the rule.

 

[JadeBrecks]

Nice Catch!

 

[Rhode Irish]

Yes. Horrible rule. His knee and elbow were down prior to the ground causing the fumble. But unfortunately it is the rule.

He took like four steps with the ball. He clearly had control of it. His leg and other elbow were down before the ball hit the ground. And he didn't even lose control of it off the ground in any meaningful way. Whoever decided that should be the rule should be brought to my front door so I can punch him in the face.

 

[irishfan]

Terrible call. Had full possession, braced his fall with one arm and lunged for the end zone with the other arm...somehow those aren't football moves? Is that why they called it incomplete?

Read/heard so many stupid Cowboys/refs conspiracy theories this week too...

 

[JadeBrecks]

Yes. Horrible rule. His knee and elbow were down prior to the ground causing the fumble. But unfortunately it is the rule.

I agree with it is a horrible rule. Someone running the ball would be down before the ball came out.

Idk what everyone is upset about on the Twitterverse. We see this type of play EVERY GAME and the rule is the rule. Not saying the rule is a good one but that was clearly not a catch.

Cost the Lions a big game when Calvin caught a TD that was waved off for the same ruling. I hate the rule. The 'football move' part of it is BS. If you catch a ball diving and are touched down you never make a football move but it's still a catch at that spot. To me that play was no different as he lost control after he was down.

I am not saying the officials are in the bag for Dallas. I think they have made or not made terrible calls both directions. I want the crews back not this individuals that haven't worked together ever put together for the most important games of the year.

Is this McDonald's commercial serious?

Pretty much where I'm at with it. Hate the rule, but it was called correctly.

Ever since the domestic abuse commercials I've stopped paying attention to NFL commercials.
