I really don't think these guys understand that all that has to be happening is the ball is starting to come out prior to breaking the goal line. Just like any other fumble, if it is starting to come loose, iris a fumble.

I do understand that, I am simply saying that there is no indisputable evidence in that GIF that it was "coming out" prior to crossing the plane. Thus, if the ruling on the field is a TD, that GIF is not enough to overturn it, as it is not indisputable that the ball was "coming out". A player maintains possession, even if it is with one hand holding the nose of the football.

And again, professionals disagree with you.

And this is why I will continue to argue that replay officials shouldn't be watching GIFs to make their calls.
