Was it a catch?

Stupidity of the Calvin Johnson rule rears its head. How is reaching for the endzone not a football move? Two steps, elbow, then stretch

Tip hit the ground and it moved and he lost control for a bit as he roll over.

after reading the interwebs, my conclusions was that it's the right call, but a somewhat stupid rule for one, for running backs, losing control upon contact with the ground results in a fumble whereas with wr it's results in it being incomplete. Being unable to make a move while 'falling to the ground' is also a little wiffy-waffy. But it's also hard to sea how to define a rule in this context which can be consistently and clearly interpreted.

it's too bad, because had dez simply wrapped the ball up and gone to the ground (which he could have easily done) rather than trying to get the TD, the cowboys could have easily had a 1st in goal at the 2 or so.

:lol:

I have no sympathy for Cowboys fans complaining about calls.

The rule itself is the problem. It's a phenomenally stupid rule built (like many rules) to address a very small set of scenarios but fucking up a whole bunch of other things in the process. I'm incredibly pissed that Cobb's "catch" stood after review in the first half. That was nonsense
