I don't get what you are trying to argue here. At the half yardline the ball is coming out. Video proves that. I could post a picture from the 1.5 yard line and he probably has full possession, but so what? Possession was lost before the ball crossed the goal line. That picture is not near that point

The GIF video only proves that he is no longer holding the ball with his right hand. We can't tell from the GIF whether he still has possession of the ball with his left hand. The picture I provided shows that he does, or that it is not indisputable that he doesn't. The GIF is not good evidence to show that he fumbled. It's also not good evidence to show that he still had possession. The picture I found tends to show that he was gripping the ball by the tip with his left hand, but is ultimately inconclusive. So, the ruling on the field, whatever it was, should have stood. If it was called a fumble, it was a fumble. My understanding is that it was called a TD, and was overturned. BASED ON THE GIF AND PICTURE I POSTED ONLY, I disagree. Totally disputable.

Your picture proves that his left hand is touching the ball between half a yard and yard from the goal line. Video proves even t that point possession is starting to be lost.

So I ask again, what are you arguing? Do we count TD's a yard in front now?
