I have a different issue with that call. Even if I accept that he didn’t control it all the way down, the ball never touched the ground. He had his hand underneath it, flipped it up, and caught it in the end zone. It should have been a reversal in Dallas’s favor, for a touchdown.
Although, even if that had been called, I think Green Bay would have driven down the field and won anyway.
No, the ball did touch the ground, I could see it. He basically pushed the ball into the turf.
I really think that’s inaccurate. It clearly hit the ground with his hand on the side. Heck, it even bounces up.
Yeah, I agree, the ball did touch the ground. I thought the worst the call could go was ruling stands, rather than incontrovertibly overturned.
He took two steps and a leap for the endzone while “falling down”. But I’m not going to argue with a Packers fan about it. 
It’s a crappy rule, but the receiver should know in that situation that he needs to keep full control of the thing until after he’s down by contact. Instead he took his other hand off of the ball and risked exactly what happened.
Well, I watched the video again, and I guess I don’t see this the same as everybody else. Don’t go by the camera from behind Shields. Go by the camera from behind Bryant. Sure looks to me like he has his hand underneath the ball.
That was an entirely stupid and retarded call on possession.
BUT… as a devout Eagles can, I wholeheartedly thank the referees from the bottom of my beer! WHOO HOO! Go stripes! 
Ref and Cowboys fan.
I don’t like the call on no catch, but I do think it was right.
It will be interesting to see if, now that it hurt Jerry, the rules committee changes the rule.
What rule would you change? He never had full possession of the ball on the way down. It hit the ground with his hand alongside it. It did not bounce out of his hand, it bounced off the ground. Do you want to change the rule so that merely having the ball in your hand is a catch?
Looked to me like he had control and then reached out to try to cross the plane of the end zone. However it is the Cowboys, so live by the call, die by the call.
Broncos are damn lucky to only be down by four. Manning is overthrowing everything over ten yards, everything under ten yards is being dropped, and the rush is giving Luck not even the least little bit of worry.
They better pick it up.
Thank the football gods we won’t have to suffer through a Dallas/Seattle championship game.
The rule says the receiver must hold on to the ball during the entire catch while making contact with the ground. They can change that rule so that if the ball never touches the ground and you end up with the ball, it’s complete.
That is already the rule.
If that was a catch, the infamous Calvin Johnson non-catch a few years back was also a catch. It’s a dumb rule, but it was applied correctly by the referee.
No, it isn’t, that’s why the call was incomplete catch.
It was the ball touching the ground that caused incompletion.
The ball did touch the ground, though, that is why the replay official called it incomplete.
