Your post motivated me to post screenshots of the video in question.

I guess groupthink is a thing. I took it for granted, like everyone said, RG3 never got his feet down. Here's relevant screenshots:

He's got it.


He hasn't got it.


He's got it again, dragging the left foot. Ball isn't over the goal line yet.


Still got it, still dragging left foot. Oh look, the ball's past the goal line.


Still got it, dragging his left and then right foot too. He's got the ball, both feet down. That's better control of the ball than guys poking it over the line. At this point, guys usually drop the ball here.


STILL got it, STILL dragging the feet, going out of bounds. (see the pylon?)


At this point, he's no different than any runner poking the ball over the line. He had it, lost it, got it again dragging the left foot. Then took the ball over the line. Touchdown, unless you want to say every time a guy pokes it over the line and drops it should be called back.

I tried to tell you guys. Moss and Garcon and others tried to tell the refs. The call on the field, touchdown, should never have been overturned in the first place!

Don't take my word on these pics. Here's the video link again, below. Second vid down the page. Click on it to freeze, then continue.

I TOLD YOU SO!!!!

It is similar to a catch. Once he lost it in midair he has to have control of the ball throughout the process, which includes hitting the ground. Once he hit the ground he lost control of the ball… hence a fumble with no clear recovery.

Even though he was out of bounds when he lost it?

edit: And again, I overlook, contrary to what everyone is saying, RG3 didn't leave his feet! He keeps stepping, even drags his feet to stay in! He was never in midair!

Yea it's a fumble when did he ever lose the ball or hit the ground ? The ball was bobbled but he never lost control of it . NfL is just to damn smart for it on good. They make a simple play like its rocket science to see a player scored a TD. Bad rule and bad call . If a player stretches out on the goaline and the player knocks it out of his hands simultaneously is it ruled a TD? Yes because the ball broke the plain. How many times have you seen a runner laying on top of another player but dives out reaches he ball to the goaline but only to lose it and it still is called a TD? I remember back when we played the Carolina Panthers and RB Stephen Davis scored from the 1 yard line and he stretched out the ball over the goaline and the Panthers knocked it out of his hands and they ruled it a fumble.
Like Moss says even when we do something good it always turns out bad. We have been getting screwed on bad calls ever since Synder became the owner.
