Seattle/New England it is. Roids vs Spying: the ultimate cheatshow.

If Dez just tried to secure the ball instead of going for glory, this game might've ended differently.

throw up that X

I can't believe people are even questioning that call. The rule clearly states that a wr must maintain possession of the ball even after going to the ground. The ball clearly hit the ground as Dez went to the ground. There was nothing controversial about that call in any form or fashion.

He was making a football play...took a step at an attempt to score a touchdown. I've seen that rule called correctly. This one was a terrible call, especially given the cir stances of the game. The refs become the center of a great game, again.

Unfortunately, now nobody will remember Jason Garrett and the Cowboys' coaching staff's horrible job in the 4th quarter to sabotage their offense..maybe their fans will, I suppose..

That series of calls changed the momentum of the game IMO..2 sacks, 3 and out, followed by Rodgers' TD drive..

also the timeout in the first half that made the refs look at the spot was pretty dumb

[Chris]

Anyone who ever says the Cowboys get calls or special favors from the refs can go themselves. This game is a travesty - an okeydoke from Vegas. A black mark on the integrity of the league.

Where we you last week tbh?

Told you. Packers weren't going to lose a close game at Lambeau. Cowboys had their chance to blow them out in the first half but they couldn't do it.

Baseball can't start soon enough

I was here defending the call tbh

[spurraider21]

By upholding an incorrect call, the refs would have been "taking the game over"

Has nothing to do with Vegas. Cowboys were covering regardless

pretty much. I'm no cowgirl fan but I hate seeing refs take over. Goodell's Nfl feels a lot like Stern's stained Nba.

"Integrity"

[pgardn]

I think I detected some cryboys on the sidelines.


Rule possibly need to be changed, great effort by Bryant.
Cowboys can only get better if Romo can stay healthy.
Witten, as great a blocker as he is, can't outrun my mother in the open field; someone needs to step up at TE that can get open AND run.
The defense should be a priority. Just a few changes, they did a lot with a little.

[tlongII]

That was a bad call. He took two steps after the catch. Clear control. Just ridiculous.

At least the NBA swallows the whistles in the last moments of the game.

[blizz]

Absolutely ridiculous. That's a catch in any league anywhere

Steps don't matter. 2 feet, a knee, irrelevant. If a catch is made while going to the ground, you must have and maintain complete control throughout the entire process. The ball moved after he hit the ground and they made the call.

Calvin Johnson had a similar play on a potential game winner, and less famously happened to Louis Murphy against the chargers (not sure if CN remembers)

[Darth_Pelican]

Dez should have taken his helmet off and ran directly to the ref after he reversed the call. Maybe they would have changed their mind again.

But it was a coaches challenge. The refs ruled a catch in the heat of the moment

Yep, two falling steps...

So you don't want the Packers?
