Do I think it should have been a catch? Yes.
Was it a catch by what's defined in the NFL rules? No.
So the correct call was made.

barely...as in his elbows were not even fully extended and at the last minute
some of y'all are just seeing what y'all want to see

but if you do not retain possession through the "football move" is that still a catch?
once he extends it's a football move and a completed catch and that "going to the ground" rule should not apply
then it's a "ground can't cause a fumble" rule, imho

if he would have fully extended, I probably would agree with you
but he barely extends at the last minute and doesn't retain possession through the act
I don't see how anyone can say that was a catch

he wasn't stretching for the endzone, he was just falling to the ground...wtf?

quote:Yea, it would be, like I said, a pretty unnatural fall for him to make if it were near midfield.
turns his body and stretches in my view
if he kept falling he'd have rolled out of bounds with the ball in a different position entirely, possibly behind his head

falling to the ground is a football move?

Repeat 1000 times until everyone understands what rule we should be talking about

Certainly and saying there weren't is just stupid.
Because of the cumbersome nature of the rule it could be determined it was incomplete. But to deny in no form or fashion its possible he was making a football play is insane.

quote:So you're saying he was able to stretch, the rules says the stretch equates to a football move, and he stretched before the ball hit the ground, so it would seem like the rest of the rule wouldn't apply once he stretches.
barely

If that isn't a catch, then I don't know what is and I'm Redskin fan and hate the Cowboys. But he caught the ball, took three steps and lunged for the goal line all before the ball hit the ground.

Y'all are acting like he was fully extended going towards the goal line

He catches the ball in the air, comes down with 2 feet, falls over the defender, comes down elbow first and the ball pops out
