Modern NFL, where referees and replay determines the outcome of games and the biggest drama is waiting for the "decision."

Isn't it a penalty again for Dez being on the field with no helmet?

An eye for an eye. Somewhere Detroit fans are smiling. At least they got a explanation.

What I don't get on that play is he took 3 steps when coming down with the ball. Also, his right elbow (which I thought was the same as a knee) hits the ground before his left arm and them fumble. Neither of those counts before the fumble?

Guess I don't get all the rules.

You know what though - that rule sucks. Anyone who knows football can look at that and say it should be a catch. Its a ridiculous play - pure ability, and he controls it all the way through. He's not juggling or anything - he then takes 3 steps to try and get into the end zone - and RIGHT at the end he falls over and perhaps the ball moves a little bit....(from the replay I saw I didn't even think the ball moved at all). Just ludicrous that that cant be called a catch.

Yeah it was a terrible play call - and great coverage - but the guy just went out and destroyed all of that with pure athletic ability - that's what they call a transcendent play - he ripped up the playbook and scheme (i.e. it should have been an incomplete pass because the coverage was great) - but he just dominated there and its been taken away because of a crappy rule.

I know we had some terrible calls at Dallas - we really did - it was a joke and cost us the game there (as I'm sure Rynie will agree) - but come on - two wrongs don't make a right. That should be a catch.

Exactly. The modern day grey area, this and that, micromanaged, referee-replay driven NFL puts EVERY SINGLE play under a microscope.
20 years ago that Dez play was a catch and no one questions it. Not the refs, the fans, the players, the broadcasters, the ESPN talking heads...no one.
