But you're right... it goes one of two ways. Either he never had possession and it's not a catch, or he had possession and it's a fumble out of the endzone.

I guess the case **could** be made that he had given himself up, but I don't know how you can come to the conclusion. Guy had stood up and got popped.

Should have been a safety. Just like the hold at the end of the game.

I'm not a big conspiracy theorist but we seem to get the short end of the stick on refs more often than not. Last night was atrocious.

Maybe I'm wrong, but I thought that if you never left the endzone, then a fumble out of bounds is a touchback, similar to if you were tackled in the endzone if you never left the endzone after an INT. Now, if he had run out of the endzone, been hit, and the ball popped out through the back of the endzone then it would be a safety, similar to if you ran out of the endzone and got tackled backward back in to the endzone.
