The catch?

[Pugger]

A lot of very experienced football people didn't know the rule.

Did you see the FOX crew after that game. Some confused and unhappy faces.

Hahahahahaha

I noticed FOX didn't show Jerrah in his luxury box after that last replay. As a matter of fact they didn't show that clown up there much at all.

[Pugger]

He cradled the ball it was clearly a catch. But this is the over-regulated NFL where logic is thrown out the window. I'm not complaining as Cowboys got the call last week and had some gifts this week for sure.

Just don't anyone think that wasn't a catch because it was. But rules are rules and we were on the right side of over-regulation this time so will take it.

This play is very much like the Megatron "catch" a few years ago. It may be a screwy rule but the refs have been consistent in calling those that way. Perhaps this rule should be addressed in the offseason.

[Pugger]

Even if you want to call it unfair, I say it makes up for the two completely missed holding calls on Daniels on that drive.

Daniels (and Clay) was being held all day long and nary a flag in sight.

[Pugger]

What catch?

[Pugger]

I didn't know it was an incomplete pass when it happened. I kept looking to see the spot. Then, in subsequent replays, I saw the ball rummaging around and thought, what the hell, maybe that fool didn't snag it.

There was a lot of shit going on for a bit there, too. MM was fingering the red flag like it was his last dollar, then eventually tossed the flag.

I figured we'd get hosed, like the Rice fumble, the fail Mary, etc. And, WE GOT IT.

The Rice fumble, I saw right away, in real time.
The Fail Mary, I called right away.
This CATCH, I was puzzled, unsure.

So the GBP is better off if I'm confused because then we get the call we deserve.

I plan on staying puzzled and confused.

I too thought Mike was crazy to challenge that play!! I was sure he was gonna lose that one too. Thank god it happened before the 2 minute warning so we could!

Did you see any total assholes at the game?

Only Packer fans. One guy was wearing a "Romo the Homo" button. A no-information fan 'lady' behind us was speculating for three quarters on the specifics of Rodgers' sex life and how that was making him play horribly. Some things she suggested I've never heard of before, and it was disturbing to know that someone out there had done/thought of such things. After the game, some woman wouldn't follow the 'every other car' rule in the parking lot, even though we were moving one car length every ten minutes for about an hour. Had to get out of the vehicle to force her pipsqueak, scrawny, ginger-haired, drunk husband back in his car, to prevent him pushing around women walking in front of their car. Angry 'lady' in the driver's seat was spewing long, long stream of expletives. My wife says: "Did you enjoy the game?"

[Pugger]

Totally agree. The clear angle shows the ball moving until he dove and ball hits the ground.

As had been pointed out - say they score. 2pt conversion is less than 50% chance. And then pack rolled down the field with arods best 2nd half in 2 yrs. so at best for cowboys it's a tie/ot in lambeau and more likely a loss.

Cowboys made some mistakes. Missed fg and not able to stop the rook.

I'm frankly sick of hearing about the catch being the defining moment of the game. Bs.

The more amazing catch was the one by Cobb off the tipped ball to get that last first down!!!

[mraynrand]

Well Kid, first they cuff ya, then they stuff ya in the back seat.

From the looks of the cop, he'll be riding to the cop shop on the handlebars.

Some women can be real bitches. They think because men won't clock them they can get away with this crap.

I must just have good luck, haven't been overwhelmed with boorishness yet. Probably just a matter of time.

I also usually get one opposing fan who is at least funny and a good time. 3 for 3 on that count.

Where did you park?

[ThunderDan]

We parked just off of Cormier SW of the stadium. We had no problems with people. We sat next to a bunch of Dallas fans. The only thing that happen was after the Richard Rodgers TD someone's beer went flying and dumped on the woman next to us.

Puzzled and confused...like 99.99% of all who saw that play LIVE.

Hahahaha.....There is 'one member' .... that saw the play clearly before any replays. That member was in the stands and was more alert to the pass being incomplete than an official standing right there just feet away and calling the pass complete; pointing to where the ball should be placed or just outside of the goal line.

As you called it KY. Mike McCarthy wasn't sure it was an incompletion or wouldn't the flag have been tossed right away? I'm going to review that. I gave a ton of credit to Mike McCarthy getting that flag out. A nice change for MM and bonus points for getting it right.

Live on TV .... I didn't see it as MM must have. The official didn't see it right !

Anybody who saw it from the inside field shot would have thought that was a catch.

I see the two as being different.

Megatron and Detroit were robbed on that call.

That was a catch for a TD that was overruled on a technicality.

Megatron (Calvin Johnson), as I recall it. Placed the ball on the ground in the end zone after the catch was completed.

Ohh YES!
