I'm glad the Cowboys lost on the Calvin Johnson rule.

That was the right call on the Bryant play.

Anyway, looks like the Packers will get to fulfill their destiny of getting knocked out by the Seahawks.

What else was going to happen on this drive? A TD is definitely a far lower probability than a couple first downs into kneeling it out.

Perhaps it was the right call, but that sure seems like a silly rule if it is.

They were approaching FG range.

The Dez call was the correct one. Doesnt change that the rule is stupid.

Big statement for the 3 people who sayed that Wilson is the best. Rodgers wins a playoff game without moving and 1 leg.

I'd agree that rules on what a catch and what isn't a catch is really .... bad. But by the rules the Bryant call was 100% the right call. Overall the NFL could use a simplification and clarification of the rule book. It's like reading a really vague legal document.

The first time I saw the "catch" I thought that was what happened. Aka, I thought the call was wrong in real time. I don't see how anyone thinks otherwise.

The explanation by Mike Pereira is a perfect example of why the rule book needs to be looked at "the process" and "moves common to the game" can be interpreted a lot of ways (and I say that being happy with the call as a Packer fan).

bryant took like 2-3 steps after the catch, does that not count as completing the catch?

What about securing the ball and stretching for the end zone? Is that not a "football move". Doesn't the rule's interpretation here (that a football move doesn't really matter), 'the receiver has to control the ball to the ground' mean a receiver can actually never fumble? As in the ball is never *caught* until the player is down with the ball secured, so if he fumbles and the ball hits the ground it's incomplete? Especially if he's in the process of falling from a tackle, or stumbling as if he's going down. I think it's a terrible rule that refs apply very poorly. It should be changed (because I think everyone (mostly) agrees it's a "catch", but not in the NFL).

Bad call, hurt the Cowboys chances, didn't lose them the game. They had chances and didn't play great, but were in it 'til the end. (That D needed to step up and make a stop, and Garrett's always been a terrible time manager.)
And then.... Trumpets

Packers D vs a running QB. I wonder how many hundreds of rushing yards Wilson is going to end up having.

Oh hey, welcome to being a Lions fan.

And no, stretching for the end zone is not a "football move." The second time the Lions got burned by the Calvin Johnson rule, it was because of that.

EDIT: That touchdown throw o.0
