Negative Ghost Rider. I have the game in HD and I went back and watched the segment in question. So lets be clear this isn't from my memory.

It's funny you think one hand under a knee means that no other part of Green was down, when it's clear most of his lower body is on the ground with the ball securely tucked in his arm.
I love how you point to one frame from the video. There is a reason the review booth uses full motion video instead of just individual frames. If you watch the multiple video replays, you can see the ball bobble before he totally loses it or comes down. You can't exactly see this lack of possession in a single frame.
Looking at your screen shot - because of the way his body is bent, his left knee is facing up and clearly not in contact with the ground like his left heel is.
Then his right knee hits Stephens hand before the ground (check out the other angle reply NOT in the screen shot below), that is how the review booth couldn't over turn the call on the field.

Yeah, I have it recorded in high def also. It was a really close call but it does look like he was not down (call me a homer or WTF ever). The shot where his hand is under his knee is more telling because you can see the ball loose but thats why they wont post that pic. I'm not gonna waste time taking a pic and loading it on my comp just to please someone who is obviously still butthurt
BTW... Saying Arky would've DEF scored is pointless. How does anyone know? They turned the ball over a few times, who's to say he wouldn't have fumbled the very next play? or Fairley wouldn't have busted thru and caused a bad pass? It's just easier for them to say "but the refs".
