He did hit the ball with his other hand right?
I swear on the NFL rulebook that's a fumble!!!

And the offensive PI??? come on refs

Well unfortunately, as the rule is written that was the correct call.. There wasn't a problem with the call, the problem is with the rule.. A logical amendment to the rule should be, once the ball is below the shoulder it's no longer considered forward movement of the arm and therefore if the QB loses the ball it is a fumble. That would eliminate all the inconsistency on the calls. It's easy to identify on replay and will make even the idiots officials like Tom White look like they know what they are doing..
