It wasn't even close, he never had control as he came down and the ball popped loose when he hit the ground. That's an easy call.

Yeah, not even close. Watch it again, as he was coming down he never secured it away, then he hit the ground and it bounced out.

What was close about it to you???

IN the EZ, as in the open field, the receiver has to complete the catch when going to ground. The ground cannot cause a fumble BUT it can cause an incomplete pass. He had both hands moving before he hit the ground and that = incomplete. For or against the Skins, in viewing that replay I agree with the call.

2 feet down in the endzone while you're being brought down isn't enough though, you need to demonstrate control throughout and when you hit the ground.

It was a great call by the refs and a good upholding of the call, and a good explanation by the ref.
