You may be right that he lost possession right there, but that is blurry, and you are speculating about where his fingers might be when you say that you can "surmise." That is not indisputable evidence to overturn the call on the field.

That picture does not show someone in possession of a football.

Nor does it show someone NOT in possession. It's inconclusive, thus, the ruling on the field stands. Touchdown.

That's all I am arguing. You can't really tell from the video that he loses possession prior to the ball crossing the front of the goal line. When in doubt, the ruling on the field stands.


It amazes me that people are so emphatic about this when I look at that video. There's no way that the replay official had enough to overturn. I just can't imagine that person being so certain.

I wish it wasn't.

But it is.

I still love Pig, he had one hell of a game.

That's awesome, does it show that he's crossed the GL with possession?

Sorry. I didn't expect you to be so dense. It shows that he had possession of the ball with his left hand only. Now, show me a photo where he was no longer gripping the ball with his left hand and you may be on to something. Otherwise, he had possession with his left hand. Ruling on the field stands. Touchdown.

I'm down with the makeup call theory.

u lose.
