NFL Division Round Playoff games

[Joey007]

I think the beginning of the league's decline has begun this last year or two. The bad calls are ruining every good game.

 

[OhExaulted1]

Cowher says it wasn't a catch. No idea what his chin thought of it.

 

[Silver Blue&Red]

Every game anymore, there's a panel of analysts discussing the "Blown" call. Dallas got robbed.

 

[Sydney]

I'm not a cowboys fan, in fact I was kind of hoping for a green bay win.

But the cowboys just got robbed. Dez made the catch, clear control, transfers the ball to one hand and stretches it out. Wtf is a "football act" then? Some vague thing that can be made up on the spot? To suit whatever team the refs favor?

What a friggen joke. Goodell needs to get canned and we need a real overhaul with this officiating. It's like we're watching the WWE

 

[Big-T]

Ugh, the Manning ball washing has crossed the pond - Sky just went to commercial break showing Peyton Manning with "My Hero" by the Foo Fighters playing over it.

 

[Tunescribe]

I think the Broncos/Colts are much of a muchness but three three teams through to the Championship games are the three best teams in the NFL and that's a good thing.

???

Green Bay should be sick. They should demand Dallas go on to seattle. Two inexplicably bad calls both against the cowboys. To "lose" like that is sickening.

 

[TBR]

Uh huh.
24/35
316 yards
3TD's 0 Ints
125.4 passer rating

He's really struggling...

We'd put up 600+ yards against that Cowboys D at home

Brandon Browner ?@bbrowner27 1m1 minute ago
So now you can't catch the ball and reach for the goal line. He cuffed the ball and reach. The ground cannot cause fumble

 

[FreeTedWilliams]

The worst part is the refs from this weekend's games are the ones that will be working the Super Bowl, so ouch!

I can only hope that Boger is not riffing the Denver game

 

[PatsWickedPissah]

I'm losing interest in an entertainment where very knowledgeable fans absolutely cannot tell if a play is a catch or not and have no way of deciding if a play is PI or not. The NFL has a serious problem.
Upon reflection, they probably could not care less as the controversy sparks interest and boosts ratings among the far more numerous casual viewers.
My problem is that of an informed fan. What am I informed about?

 

[BradyToAmendola]

Hmm, by rule seems to have been a catch :

What about that makes you say it's a catch? He didn't complete the process, which it says right there in the rules..

 

[Brady_to_Moss]

I hate so much we are always talking about calls and refs week after week

 

[PATS16N0]

Finally, the playoff show down we've all been waiting for.

Andrew Luck vrs Connor Barth

 

[manxman2601]

???

Colts and broncos are about as good as each other = much of a muchness.

I think the Pats, Seahawks and Packers are the three best teams in the NFL.

 

[PATS16N0]

Cowboys got so screwed.

 

[Wheelman]

Hmm, by rule seems to have been a catch :

Thank you for posting this. However I disagree with your interpretation of the rule. Dez Bryant is going to the ground. I understand what he's trying to do and it's unfortunate but he's going to the ground. Because he's going to the ground Item 1 applies to Dez Bryant. The ball touches the ground and causes the ball to move before he regains control of the ball. It's a clear cut incomplete pass according to the rules.

"No matter what Don Shula says, I think Belichick is the best coach ever." - Boomer Esiason

Suck it, Shula.

 

[Silver Blue&Red]

I don't know I feel like going to the ground was part of him going through the process of the catch, there for I'm pretty sure he needs possession throughout which makes me think the right call was made because the ground clearly made the ball pop out

That would be a fumble. He had the ball cradled in his arm and lost in the "Process" , as Pereira called it, of lunging for the EZ

 

[kennyb]

What about that makes you say it's a catch? He didn't complete the process, which it says right there in the rules..

Taking 3 steps completes the process of the catch. He took three steps with it under his control. If anything its a fumble.
