On the Bryant catch, what if when he reached the ball out, he actually crossed the plane of the end zone and then came down and the ball popped out? Would that have been a TD or no? So catch it at the 5, stumble to the goal line, reach across, then pop out = no catch?
This is where I couldn't be a "good" pro if I was in Dez's shoes. I'd be so pissed after the game, I'd get fined and called a poor sport and bad loser because that is just the wrong call.
Nantz just dropped "cross pollination" in the pregame. Fuck off Jim, this isn't the Masters.
The issue on the catch is the "football move" portion of the rule. Falling to the ground is not a "football move" regardless of how many times your feet touch. Right call.
I think the narrowest holding should have been not "indisputable evidence" to overturn, because given the arguments on both sides there clearly is a preponderance of highly disputable evidence. Takes balls to overturn that call on the field.

http://www.gfycat.com/NeatDrearyCassowaryIs there anyone in the league other than Rodgers or Luck who can make the throw Rodgers made on the go ahead td? Off balance, frozen rope 30+ yards between the safety and the cornerback. That was some badass fucking shit, and he did it so casually too.
Add it with a sharpie, and get a little chicken parm mess on the shirt.
Reeeeeeealy thinking about getting this shirt. If the shirt had that forehead mark I'd have already pulled the trigger.
That works.Add it with a sharpie, and get a little chicken parm mess on the shirt.
what do you think about finishing up the rest of your Reel Report interview?
Good Sir! I will devoting my full attention to that (as well as an apology for my tardiness) this afternoon
Does it even really matter who wins the AFC? I can't see anyone beating Seattle.
Apparently if he got into the end zone it might have been different. Gotta love consistency in the NFL!Is trying to put the ball in the endzone a "football move".
How goddamn ghey this is.
In past cases, that football move (previously dubbed by former NFL V.P. of officiating Mike Pereira as a “second act“) is enough to complete the catch. In the last game of Pereira’s stint as V.P. of officiating, the “second act” exception gave the Saints a key two-point conversion in Super Bowl XLIV, as receiver Lance Moore caught a pass while going to the ground, reached the ball across the plane, hit the ground, and lost possession.
If the term “second act” is synonymous with “football move,” the ultimate question as to the Dez Bryant player becomes whether there was indisputable visual evidence that he didn’t commit a football move or second act. If the visual evidence was not indisputable, the ruling on the field should have been confirmed.
I don't really like John Fox, but Denver's coordinators are already apparently the hottest candidates left in a depleted corching pool, so who the fuck do the think they are going to bring in that's better?
The only thing that makes any sense at all is that Elway wants to bring Kubiak back to Denver and already has some sort of verbal commitment in place? I admit I was jealous watching the Raven's offensive line cut blocking their way to a RB with 5.5 ypc or some shit over the season. I love Kubiak's offense.
Would never happen: Peyton would chafe at playing in his offense.
I hope Peyton doesn't retire and they switch to some sort of 2 QB system to keep him fresh for the postseason (or inversely use Peyton to qualify for the playoffs then switch to someone who doesn't choke). Just picture it... Peyton comes in and beep boops through a half of the easy games throwing 5 TDs... then they sub in some mong-king game manager QB (like Tebow) comes in to basically run zone read and scramble around like an asshole to convert 3rd downs for the rest of the game and kill the clock. It would only work if Peyton was willing to swallow his pride and leave the game as soon as Denver got up by 2 scores. I mean they basically do that anyway when they go into their mong run sets up 2 scores, but at least they'd have a running threat at QB as well.
That's assuming Peyton is still around. I honestly can't think of any other scenarios that make sense (other than offering to Jack Del Rio?) I mean Denver is about to lose their OC and DC anyway, so firing the head corch only makes sense if there is someone out there Elway loves. With the already depleted corching pool, Kubiak is really the only thing that makes sense.
Would love to see a trick play where Tebow throws a bomb to a streaking Manning down the sideline.

If the Seahawks beat the Packers, I'd like to see them face New England. If Green Bay wins I'd much rather see the Patriots lose.
You don't think it's to promote boy wonder "genius" OC Adam Gase?
That's my first guess if Peyton sticks around. If not? Well now we get to find out how good Elway actually is at his job.
No. Way. Elway isn't that dumb.
Why? Because Brady is much more of a statue than Luck? New England is a more complete team, IMO, and a less desirable matchup.....despite Brady's concrete boots. I'd like the Hawks chances against either, but if you're letting me pick the opponent, I think I'm taking Indy.
