    It also explains why he didn't run for that key first down with 20 yards of open field in front of him.

    If the Broncos were going to make a move, and I don't think they are, it would be to bring in a veteran guy to go all-in for next season. I don't see them promoting Adam Gase and letting him run the team during Manning's final season.

    Elway would have done it on one leg.

    Two steps with the ball before going down is a football move, or is it not?

    Why is the fall considered part of the catch if Bryant took two steps after bobbling the ball on his first step?

    After four now illegal chop blocks were placed for him. :D

    This same play happens numerous times every week and it is called the same way every time. In real time I knew it was incomplete and replay only solidified this. I swear those people that disagree with this call have never watched an NFL game and I know that isn't the case. He didn't take two steps, he was falling down. If I dropped Stephen Hawking at an angle his feet would both touch the ground but he would not be running, he would be falling. I am not a big fan of the rule but for those asking for change, how would you describe a catch and how would your description not have just as many questions?

    Bullshit, BadgerBeer.

    Stephen Hawking would be falling AND calculating the physics of his fall in relation to planck length ... and God!

    Stephen Hawking would have been with Dez Bryant's mother

    I really don't consider landing on the ground to be "two steps." I consider it to be more a function of the law of physics.

    This is why the rule sucks. I see two feet planted, and then the ground causing a fumble.

    And, believe me, I was rooting for the Packers anyway.

    Would Stephen be paying cash for that?

    Hawking's into physics, not chemistry.
