look at it, he goes up, catches the ball in the air, comes down on his two feet with possesion = TOUCHDOWN, play over.
anything after the initial catch doesn't matter, for me.

What opinion? If the Rule book says you have to come up with the ball too then that is the rule. His feet were down, his elbow was down, but the ground caused him to lose control, which to the refs meant he never had complete control because he never had the ball long enought to establish it. If he caught it, ran 5 steps in the endzone then was pushed down and dropped it, that would have been a TD.
Let me just say that I hate SD and anything that contributes to them losing is a good thing, but the refs called it right.

he did come up with the ball lol.
he had possesion long enough, where if it were a catch at like the 30 yard line i would have said he "fumbled" it for a second.
it should have been a touchdown, but i don't really care lol.

theres two ways to look at this, the literal way or the realistic way.
If you live on a certain street...and you watch people all day long jaywalk across the street, never getting stopped by the police. You know its against the RULES, but it still happens day in and day out. Even in front of the police, and they never give anybody a ticket, even though its against the RULES. This goes on for so long that people damn near forget that it is even against the rules. Then one day, you jaywalk...and the minute you do, the same police that allowed everyone else to jaywalk...gives you a ticket. Should you feel as if..."hey, its the rule...I broke it." or should you feel like you got screwed over? This is an analogy. lol

i dig it lol. 8)
it's like that with Holding & Pass Interference too.
you gon always be my latin queen bitch:
i mean at the end of it isnt the only concern DID HE HAVE FULL POSSESSION OF THE BALL LONG ENUFF?
its not like the refs havent messed up on calls
aite they reviewed it and they ruled it as is....but damn that looked like a td...a close call yeah but did they even spend enuff time lookin at the play/
this play needed extra time
Shallow:
Looking at it again in real time. Both feet were down and he did hit the ground but he never established complete control of the ball. That catch would have and should been reversed even if he caught it at the 30 yard line. The ground cannot cause a fumble but it can cause an incompletion. He took no steps with the ball and could not maintain it upon falling to the ground. The slo-motion made it seem like he had it for a while and then lost it but in real time it's all one motion and he couldn't hold on to the ball. Incomplete pass. That's my call.
