The Divisional round continues, Cowboys at Packers

[t96]

I think it is stupid that Green Bay cannot challenge again.  If you win a challenge you should get it back

 

Used one earlier and lost it. If they won that one they'd have a third.

The football move thinking is dumb. The game is football. What other move can be made?

Ground can't cause a fumble no?

That's perfectly true for a ball carrier. But it's not a fumble if he don't have possession first. That's where the football move comes in.

I feel like it's the right call based on the rule but he rule goes against the eye ball test...on the field it looks like a catch

Ground cannot cause a fumble but it can cause an incomplete pass.  This was ruled incomplete, not a fumble.

 

I do not completely agree with the rule but by rule it is incomplete.  I knew before even the replay what was going to happen when I saw the ball bounce up

no, but it can cause an incompletion.

Gutsy call. Good throw. Good catch. I hate that moment was stolen from us. Cowboys go ahead and Rogers has to do it at the end.

He was making a football move by reaching for the pilon after his knee had already hit the ground

I guess I'm in the minority but at this point I want either Denver, Green Bay, or Dallas to win the big one.

Yeah, I know that is the rule that you have to win both, I still do not agree though.  If you win one in my opinion you should get it back.

 

I also believe the rule is (or at least used to be) that if you get both challenges correct you get a third and even if you get the third correct you do not get a fourth, which is also silly to me.  If the refs keep screwing up you should get to keep challenging.

[PanthersClinic]

It's Dez own fault. He got greedy and reached out for a TD instead of securing the catch. Dez made a fascinating play but rules are rules and he didn't follow it through.

Can the ground cause a fumble?

If he was touched(which he was)he would be unable to make a football move either way right?

[*FreeFua*]

The NFL is a joke. Literally make up the rules as they go along.

Denver and Dallas are the only two I do not want.  I want Green Bay or Seattle and could not care less about the other two
