Let's analyze the most controversial call of this NFL season, the rule is clear the receivers has to keep the COMPLETE possession of the ball thru all the process. I've put both video and photo of the catch from multiple angles and i also put the the Megatron reversed TD in Chicago because i heard lots of people who compared the Bryant's catch to that 1 and thanks to this videos you can see easy that there is a main difference between those 2 catches, Megatron let the ball fall on the ground before he completed the catch process something the Dez didn't, in fact Bryant let just the ball move when he made the contact with the ground but it's clear that he has his arm under it thru all the process and this mean he has the complete possession of the ball, also his knee touch the ground in bound and at the moment it touched the turf the 2nd photo i posted show clearly he had the complete possession of the ball. After all of this i can't understand why the refs thought that he didn't have the complete possession maybe the lil bubble when he touched the ground fooled them and there isn't the evidence that the ball touched the ground so even if he didn't complete the catch there (but the ball didn't touch the ground) the ball still alive so what happened later (he completed the catch for the 2nd time) make this play a good 1. The main topic is there is no evidence that the ball touched the ground while he tried to get the complete possession and counting that it has been called a good catch on the field sounds so weird that they overturned them.
What about the Cobb's catch??? that essentially closed the game out in favor of the Packers...
Live and on the replay on TV i thought that this was a good catch but when i saw the video that i put at the bottom of this article i thought differently because it's clear from this angle that the ball touch the ground before Cobb got the complete possession of the ball and also we can see that used the turf to secure the ball on his hands. I really don't know why the refs didn't overturn this call especially after they overturned the call i analized earlier the catch no catch of Dez Bryant.
I think that the refs made 2 errors on those calls but it doesn't mean that the Packers cheated or they didn't deserve to win, i would like to see the Bryant call go on the other way then Rodgers with the ball on his hands to try to win the game on the last drive that should be the best way to end an awesome game ufortunately ruined by 2 huge mistake by the refs. By the way conratulations to both teams for the show they put up and it's sad that 1 of them had to be eliminated but those are the NFL playoffs, great but cruel at the same time.
