Yes

Yes, it was a catch. Just like Calvin Johnson's in Chicago a few years back.

You are really going to argue that he did not look dead at the goal post and reach out for it? I guess, he also didn't catch the ball with his left shoulder facing the endzone and then twisted his body towards the endzone. Must be a parallel universe that took place in.

From beginning I thought the to the ground rule should be applied to the quick tap of feet going down or out of bounds and definitely when not landing on feet but other part like shoulder and side, but I don't think it should be applied when a player takes two strides or more after securing ball whether going down or being tackled

Still I think after his second foot touches he advances football 2 or 3 yards (almost 4 or 5 from controlling ball) including after 2nd foot down got tangled with defender a last little shove with his 3rd foot down towards goal and including his right hand to ground attempting to stay up long enough to get ball across goal line. His arm just quickly collapsed and right forearm hit ground at 1/2 yard line as he started to extend, and then left hand with ball hit ground a little closer to goal line.

...c) maintains control of the ball long enough, after (a) and (b) have been fulfilled, to enable him to perform any act common to the game (i.e., maintaining control long enough to pitch it, pass it, advance with it, or avoid or ward off an opponent, etc.).

Note 1: It is not necessary that he commit such an act, provided that he maintains control of the ball long enough to do so.

I like how this argument has slowly progressed from "He didn't maintain control through to the ground" to "He didn't make a football move" to now" Well, it only LOOKED like he made a football move but he really wasn't trying to".



The attempts to defend the call slowly grow more absurd as poor argument after poor argument is flushed out. Four hours ago, a football move didn't matter. Now that it clearly has been shown it does, we've just decided that trying to read Dez Bryant's mind is more appropriate than letting the call stand.

The kind of person capable of looking at that video and saying he wasn't trying to extend the ball for a TD simply cannot be reasoned with. They are capable of believing literally anything.

I loathe the Cowboys but that was a catch
