This has been a good discussion on a very weird/unique situation and rule. My opinion….Whether good or bad for my team in the future, I think *if the offense fumbles the ball in bounds and the defense recovers the fumble in bounds, the defense should get the ball*. ETA: if they just added an asterisk like this, would anyone have an issue with it?

In this particular instance of football rules and reviews, I think “rules” and the application are overriding common sense.

I think that's true about a lot of football rules. Examples: If you block an extra point that would have given the other team 1 point, and return it, you get 2 points, why not 1 point? You're not allowed to horse collar someone (which I believe they now have expanded beyond the old definition of putting your hand inside the collar to make the tackle), but you can clothesline them and break their neck.
