The New England Patriots 2014 Playoffs Thread

Right, it sucks that it cost them the game but if he "dove" he's an idiot for not just catching the fucking football first. That was nowhere near as egregious as the original Calvin Johnson non-TD.

Can we get someone to start infracting Cowgirl fans who keep posting in the thread? They don't belong here.

If part of the ball hits the ground, it's incomplete, even if he hd control over the ball.

that's absolutely false. the ball may touch the ground if it remains completely under the players control

Exactly, those of you cats saying it should have been a catch; if Dez dropped it and Shields picked up would you have agreed it should have been a fumble?

No football move was made. He never had complete control. Incomplete.

Good game by both teams. Dallas let too many opportunities get past them and even a (relatively) stationary Aaron Rodgers is dangerous as hell.

He had control enough to try and stretch it out for a TD. *shrug* Not saying the call was wrong, just that if you didn't think he had control going to the ground then you clearly weren't paying attention.

The fact that this thread isn't the Peyton Manning's Forehead memorial football thread for the next four hours is disappointing.

What I want to know is why is the play not over the instant his knee hit the ground? There was contact with the defender.

... "IF THE PLAYER CONTINUES TO MAINTAIN CONTROL."

rofl. He didn't maintain.

There is a point where the ball is completely in the air and out of his hands if you didn't see it.

yea no doubt, i dont think it was a catch.

i was responding to elurin, quoted him.

Ref apologist bitch cuntington mike piera saving fox money on the next tv contact negotiation.


Better than the black guy on cbs tho.

Lets be clear...fuck the Cowboys.. but that is a catch.

Catches with two hands, three steps, and then transfers ball from two hands to one and reaches out for endzone. That is a football move. NFL is a joke.

Today we are all Packers fans.
