I felt any debatable big call would probably go against Dallas this week. The NFL doesn't want to deal with that "FIX" noise again. They know their refs messed up last week.

I understand what you're saying, but I get the feeling that people are still going to debate it... just like our game last week. That's just how humans are. I just received a text from a Cowboy fan who said he felt it was a catch. I bet you many Cowboy fans feel that way.

Having possession and reaching for the goalline should count as a football move.

To the extent one agrees, this is actually worse than the Lions call because (1) the Cowboys were inside the one, and (2) the Cowboys never got the ball back.

Well you have to complete the catch before you make a football move.

Say he was clearly bobbling the ball...he could still reach out for the goalline while bobbling the ball. It's a football move, but he doesn't even have control of the ball.

In this instance, I think he tried to make the football move while completing the catch and he never actually completed the catch. Again, he should've just put the ball away and pull it into his chest and landed on it. Especially with it being 4th down. He wouldn't have gotten the TD, but it would've been 1st and Goal from the 1.

By reaching out, he didn't allow himself to complete the catch and he hit the ground before he could gain full control of the football.

Sucks. But the right call given the rules.

People keep comparing this to the Lions...but the NFL won't be apologizing and saying this was the wrong call on Monday. With Detroit, they flat got it wrong and then admitted it.

Anyone rooting for the Packers who is a Lions fan baffles me. Lions were screwed, yes. I hate Aaron Rodgers and the Packers. I feel the contrary to most of you, Rodgers is the NFL darling. It always goes his way. Suh steps on Bridgewater and it isn't even discussed at the NFL offices. You are hating the wrong team.

It looked like Dez could have pulled the ball in to his body and secured it easily, but he tried to stretch the ball out to the goaline for the TD. Dumb move by him.

Why don't we just let the officials decide who is going to win each and every game? Certainly seems to be the trend. The NFL calls out who they want to win and the officials make it happen. NFL needs their baby Rogers to advance. Suh steps on any other QB not named Manning or Brady and it is a non-issue.

It pulled in CJ81 memory, however, karma is a bi right Dallas? I gotta say, I enjoyed the call :)

Sorry Cowboys, we Leos know the feeling.

Karma is truly something else. So many Cowboy fans were online last week saying, "Fuck Detroit so what we got the call and were the better team anyway." None of them really wanted to admit how much that call helped them win that game. All we heard was the "One play doesn't decide a game crap." The very next week they get eliminated by weird Detroit Lions' Calvin Johnson rule. Karma is an unseen force, but sometimes you can't help but feel that it truly does exist.

But this is still 5th from the top and we're only on page 4...carry on.

Here's the game I really wanted to see anyway. I hate both the Packers and the Cowboys. Whichever team won I hope Seattle crushed them.

In this game I just want to see a classic QB battle.

Patroits/Seahawks please!
