after making a move common to the game

like, continuing forward momentum (2 or 3 steps) towards the end zone?
like, stretching out towards the goal line?

perhaps he should have stopped running, confirmed the catch with the ref in the sky and then continued the run towards the end zone

running full stop, jump, catch, 2 or 3 steps, has control, dives for the end zone, has his hand under the ball (or the ground cannot cause a fumble?) Cows ball on the 1 yd line

however, tough titty, Mr. Kitty, the game is over

perhaps a nice run for 3 yds would have been better
perhaps a nice 5 yd'er to Witten
perhaps, perhaps, perhaps

Coach said it all:

Cowboys coach Jason Garrett would not pin the loss on the overturned call, but he disagreed with Steratore's ruling.

"I thought Tony (Romo) made a great throw, Dez made a great catch on the ball," Garrett said. "Obviously it was ruled a catch at the outset. It looked like to me he had three feet down. What they describe to us all the time is 'a move common to the game,' and Dez reached out for the goal line like he's done so many times. It's a signature play for him. He maintained possession of it throughout, in my opinion.

"But let me make it really clear: This game wasn't about the officiating. We had 60 minutes. We had an opportunity to come up here and win a football game, and at the end of the day we didn't get that job done. That play was big in the game, but there were other plays in the game and unfortunately we didn't do the things necessary to win the ballgame."

too many freakin' rules
take the pain
