his play didn't apply to that rule imo. The act of diving and extending the ball as he landed, other arm and leg down mind you, is the second act of the catch. Total miss by the entire crew.
Agreed

The thing is if he didn't extend the ball it wouldn't have hit the ground.

He didn't finish it and completely secure the ball and come up with it all the way through.

Incomplete.

If the ground can't cause a fumble then it shouldn't be able to cause an incompletion either. This is fricking stupid.


Pretty much.

No

It may not be fair but you must maintain possession all the way through. Its in the rules.

After last week the cowboys don't deserve to bitch about poor play calls.

Rolly Pack.

They just clarified on TV that he was going to the ground during the act (dive or not) and that it wasn't confirmed a football act. The steps weren't the issue. It's the "process". Which once the ball hit the ground and came out made it incomplete (ground can cause an incomplete pass vs. a fumble situation).

As said, shitty rule but it's a rule nonetheless.

Yea the rules are wrong in this instance because of intent. The dude caught the ball took 3 steps and had an elbow touch the ground before he reached for the goal line.

I hate the cowboys but he clearly had possession and was trying to score. Bad rule in this case.

The momentum of the catch brought him to the ground, it was ruled correctly.
