Now you are just making up shit, and most of it is because you still don't clearly understand the rules.
The moment that RGIII lost the ball, he then falls under the rules as if a WR catches a pass. He must possess the ball all the way to the ground. It doesn't matter he regained possession before the goal line and crossed it, he has to possess through the landing. RGIII did not do that.
For any doubt that he didn't lose the ball:
Jump...Dive? What's the difference really? He dove for the goal line which is pretty much a forward jump.
Was the ruling correct? Absolutely 100% correct. IS the rule one of the dumbest I've ever seen? Absolutely 100%.
