Agreed. I was indifferent towards the Seahawks prior to that game, but that was the genesis of my disdain towards Wilson, Carroll, and that franchise. I get it was an exciting win, but to act like you weren't handed a win via the refs set me off.

As for Dez Bryant.
A: if the ball ever touches the ground, incomplete, period.
B: he took at least two steps with the ball and then the ball hit the ground and was dislodged therefore it is a fumble.
If he had taken one step, ball hit ground and dislodged, I say it is incomplete. Since he took more than two steps and then the ball came out, I think it should be a fumble and Cowboys ball on the 1 yard line because I don't think the player who fumbles can advance the ball. Maybe that's only within 2 minutes? Whatever that rule is, the ball is Cowboys on the 1 yard line or it is touchdown.
I still think the Packers would have marched down the field and won the game regardless.
