You would think a SB champ and QB of a top 10 offense 3 years in row would get more respect.

You cannot make a "football move" when all you do is fall to the ground. SO anyone talking about "football moves" might as well be talking about the intervention of unicorns.

If you dont see him reaching for the endzone you are either blinded by your hatred for Dallas (which is fine), or just blind. Lol

imo he is kinda reaching for the end zone while he is still in the process of falling down. both sides have room to interpret.

at the end of the day, Dez just has to hold onto the ball.

like defenders have had to re-train their hit zone to avoid flags .. receivers need to re-train to make sure they secure the catch before trying anything else.

He is not reaching; he is failing and he puts down his right hand to break his fall.

Watch it again. He clearly extends his arms and reaches while he is falling. Clearly. That being said it is poetic justice after the Lions game that the call went the other way. FU Dallas.

Edit: his right arm is bracing, but his left arm witb the ball in it reaches.

I have watched is dozen of times including 10 seconds ago. He is failing, never gets both feet on the ground at the same time. So he never has control of his fall. He puts down his right hand to break his fall, so he doesn't plant his face into the ground. His momentum them takes him forward. He does not dive forward , as people falsely claim. His momentum from the jump is taking him forward. It is part of his fall.

What about his left arm.? You do not think he is reaching twards the goal line that he sees rite in front of him? Looks to me like he is. Maybe I am wrong, but from what ive heard if that arm is reaching forward twards the goal line it would be considered a football move? I dont really know?

Look at the bolded. That's it. By rule, you cannot be falling AND make a football move.

So, in your own words, a "football move" has nothing to do with it and the call was a good one.

Like I said im not 100 % clear on the rules but on Sirius nfl radio a couple of the hosts had mentioned that it appeared he was making a football move by reaching for the endzone. If he goes up for the ball and catches it and extends for the endzone he is obviously falling at the same time. What goes up must come down. Lol.
