I am appreciating Henry Ford's one liners in the SP. They are so easy to get riled up over there.

I don't think it's made up. Their findings are anything but conclusive, but it's still funny.

So, the Bears are not a real NFL team, right? We're going to find out that some kind of aliens abducted them like Space Jam, amirite?

Looked like a football move by me for the Bryant catch. Not sure what Refs were thinking overturning that unless this was a makeup call for the Detroit game.
They even let borderline call in first half stay withheld, so this was an uncalled for bold move by refs.

It wasn't close. You have to control the ball through the process of going to the ground. As soon as he fell, the ball hit the ground and bounced two feet in the air. That call gets overturned 100 percent of the time.

I'll overturn you 100% of the time!!!

The catch had already been established and he made a "football move" with his dive towards the end zone. Doesn't matter that the ball hit the ground after the completed pass.

He had control, he even tried to reach out toward the endzone. If he's not in control, he's not doing that.
The worst part is if he doesn't make that final move with the ball and just goes down, it's probably a catch.

Right. He could have fumbled it forward into the endzone and it still would have been complete at the 1 if they recovered.

Wait. In order to fumble doesn't control have to be established first?

If that's not a catch, then the rule needs to be fixed. By any semi-intuitive standard, Dez caught the ball.
That said, it was Dallas so #### 'em.

They have no clue. As a lions fan I am completely familiar with this stupid rule. They got the call right with the overturn and there is no question about it.

Yes, and it was.

Not my favorite commercial but if you don't think that was effective, you are dead wrong.
They even will have people going to Tumblr for some of the back stories to continue the ad at a low cost.
So I don't agree with you.

Oh it works. The 4 women in my living room all went ahhhhhhhhh and were captivated.
Pandering ####ing bull####.
Give it up. Anywhere on the field the receiver must complete the ####### process of the catch when going to the ground. It was not a catch nor a fumble.

When I saw the Dez Bryant catch overturned the first thought that popped into my head was "Why am I watching this game?" If the NCAA was smart they'd quickly announce an 8 team playoff next year and tell world "We're making football moves over here."

No, by rule: the catch is established after he controls it through hitting the ground while he is on his way down to the ground. Had he not been falling to the ground while making the catch, the play would not have been over turned.

Going to the ground as part of this so-called process. Dez, like Calvin, didn't dive to the ground to catch the ball. They jumped caught the ball and landed on their feet. In Dez's case he took a couple steps forward. When you catch the ball and land on your feet, when do we count it as a catch and the process crap being over with?
jamny

He wasn't falling as he made to catch. He took two steps.

He WAS falling, "stumbling" forward in the act of the catch. That's not a football move.

That's my big question in all of this. It makes sense on a catch that's made while diving. But when a player catches the ball and lands on their feet, how is it determined if the player is still in the process of catching the ball? A football move? Why isn't jumping up and landing on your feet and then taking steps considered football moves?
