While watching the catch made by Larry Fitzgerald this weekend, I'm sure I was thinking the same thing as every other Cowboys fan out there: Nice catch, but too bad you won't get credit for it. Needless to say I was outraged when they came back saying it was a catch. Can someone please explain how they can rule Fitzgerald's a catch, yet rule the identical play for Dez an incomplete? David: There’s no satisfactory way to explain it, and that’s what makes the rule so frustrating. The judgment of whether or not a receiver has established himself as a runner before he goes to the ground is entirely subjective.
