Shields gets his hand in enough where he keeps Dez from immediately controlling the ball. Having control of the ball and going to the ground was all happening at the same time. There was never a point of having two feet and control to establish possession and than a separate move with the ball.

There are catches all the time in the game, that are not completed passes. It takes a catch plus fulfilling the rest of the criteria of a completed pass.

I still find it ironic that the Cowboys are bitching about the Calvin Johnson rule after last week.

Adams was out of sync with Rodgers in the 1st half. I thought it was going to be just another game of him not understanding what the heck he's supposed to be doing as if he literally has nowhere near the same feel as a Jordy or Randall do for the game. It's not just that he's a rook...just doesn't seem to have the same intangibles as Jordy and RC18.

The move he made on the TD run was special. The juke was an ankle breaker like a killer crossover in basketball. A super sweet play on a huge stage.

I'm sure we're going to have to live with that from him...some dreadful plays and some big ones.

He is SLOW. I totally agree with that...speed is not his calling card. Looks faster than James Jones but not quite as strong. He is good with it after the catch...would like to see him make more people miss. Seattle would be a nice game to figure that out as Cobb and Nelson are going to be neutralized so it's guys like Adams, Lacy, Rodgers, Quarless (whom I thought played his best game as a Packer) turn to stand and be counted. Man, how I'd love to see Janis injected into this O at Seattle. Boykin is just wasting a roster spot.

Ted Thompson sits on his hands per former GM: "because they’ve had 25 fricking years of great quarterbacks. Of course it works. Try it without a special quarterback."

We did not get one call. The ruling on the field was in favor of Dallas. As were most of the calls, such as the bogus PI on Tramon and the worst spot of the football in 40 years. The only reason the Packers benefitted from this call was because Mike McCarthy challenged it. It was his last available challenge. Granted it was with ~4 min left and there was only 2 min of game to worry about.

Packers had 10 accepted penalties for 87 yards. Dallas had..... 5 penalties for 35 yards.

The rule is written to leave about the least amount of judgment to the officials. Only judgment is did the player possess the ball and make a subsequent move or long enough to have been able to make a move. Every option I have heard either adds more judgment or makes more real incompletions completions.

This rule was revisited after the Calvin incident and wasn't changed than either.

That said, I just don't see the play the same way as you do. Yes, Shields touched the ball, but from that point on, my two eyes see control of the ball, two feet down, no bobbling, no dropping - only contact with the ground causing the ball to come loose. To me, the (justifiable) technicality of the rule was the reason for the incompletion, not him juggling it, or Shields making a play on the ball.

I think if Shields doesn't cause Dez to juggle the ball even for that fraction of a second. Control and possession gets established a fraction sooner which then could have made him turning his body and going for the goal line be considered a separate move. But because of that little delay, he doesn't establish control until he is already turning and going down which makes that all part of the process.

I agree that Shields delayed him gaining possession/control. I still feel like he did enough after that point. I'm ultimately bickering over an irrelevant point. I'm arguing about what I think "seems" like a catch, not what rules say. IMO, the technicality in the rule caused the incompletion, not Dez "dropping" it or Shields breaking it up.

What does it for me, is that I can see during slo-mo where he gains control of the ball, and than watching at full speed. There is no separation in acts that would be possession and than a separate move. His is falling, while gaining control and extending the ball out. It is all part of the same motion.

As soon as Shields is done tipping the ball, I feel he established control of the ball. He rotated, got feet down, and purposefully shifted hands to extend. I just see it differently than you, but ultimately it doesn't matter because it the officials got the call right.

beast (13h) : Also why do both NYC teams have absolutely horrible OL for over a decade?
beast (13h) : I wonder why the Jets always hire defensive coaches to be head coach
Zero2Cool (23h) : Still HC positions available out there. I wonder if Hafley pops up for one
Zero2Cool (23h) : Trent Baalke is out as the Jaguars GM.
dfosterf (22-Jan) : Jeff Hafley would have been a better choice, fortunately they don't know that. Someone will figure that out next off season
Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Aaron Glenn Planning To Take Jets HC Job
dfosterf (22-Jan) : Martha- C'est mon boulot! 😁
Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Thank you

wpr (22-Jan) : My son and D-I-L work for UM. It's a way to pick on them.
Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Thank you. I rarely get sick, and even more rarely sick to the point I can't work.
wpr (22-Jan) : Beast- back to yesterday, I CAN say OSU your have been Michigan IF the odds of making the playoffs were more urgent.
dfosterf (22-Jan) : Glad to hear you are feeling a bit better.
Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : I've been near death ill last several days, finally feel less dead and site issues.
Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : It is a big deal. This host is having issues. It's frustrating.
Martha Careful (22-Jan) : just kidding...it was down
Martha Careful (22-Jan) : you were blocked yesterday, due to a a recalcitrant demeanor yesterday in the penalty box for a recalcitrant demeanor
dfosterf (22-Jan) : Was that site shutdown on your end or mine? No big deal, just curious
beast (21-Jan) : That way teams like Indiana and SMU don't make the conference championships by simply avoiding all the other good teams in their own confere
beast (21-Jan) : Also, with these "Super Conferences" instead of a single conference champion, have 4 teams make a Conference playoffs.
beast (21-Jan) : Also in college football, is a bye week a good or bad thing?
Martha Careful (21-Jan) : The tournament format was fine. Seeding could use some work.
beast (21-Jan) : You can't assume Ohio State would of won the Michigan game...
beast (21-Jan) : Rankings were 1) Oregon 2) Georgia 3) Texas 4) Penn State 5) Notre Dame 6) Ohio State, none of the rest mattered
wpr (21-Jan) : Texas, ND and OSU would have been fighting for the final 2 slots.
wpr (21-Jan) : Oregon and Georgia were locks. Without the luxury of extra playoff berths, Ohios St would have been more focused on Michigan game.
wpr (21-Jan) : Zero, no. If there were only 4 teams Ohio State would have been one of them. Boise St and ASU would not have been selected.
Zero2Cool (21-Jan) : So that was 7 vs 8, that means in BCS they never would made it?
Martha Careful (21-Jan) : A great game. Give ND credit for coming back, although I am please with the outcome.

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Notre Lame getting rolled
Martha Careful (21-Jan) : Ohio State just got punched in the gut. Lets see how they respond
Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Notre Lame vs the Luckeyes, bleh
Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Oh snap!!!
Zero2Cool (21-Jan) : Even Stevie Wonder can see that.
Zero2Cool (21-Jan) : Nah, you see Lions OC leaving to be HC of Bears is directly related to Packers.
Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : ohhhhhhh Zero is in TROUBLE
