That bush league ref'ing has to stop. This is not the NBA. This is a sport that people want to believe is actually played on a fair playing field.

 

It is fair, the refs screw everybody eventually.

The announcers and the tv replays screwed it up. The WR COMPLETELY loses control of the ball at the end of the play. The rule is you must maintain control and have the ball in your posession at the end of the play. He didn't. No TD.

 

The second or third time they replayed it, they showed him lose the ball. The rest of the time, they quit showing the replay right before the most important part.

Even though ball hit ground in pats game, watson didn't lose control of it. That's the difference.

 

Their ruling was that the receiver caught the ball and the knee down gave possession. The ball still hit the ground and moved a little.

 

Now here is the kicker - Once possession is established in the end zone the possession can not be taken away. A defender could have come up and knocked the ball in the air, after the two feet were down with possession (which was clearly the case) by rule it is a Touchdown and that can not be taken away because of something that happened after the TD.
