Same to you. The fact is that the act of hitting the ground caused him to lose control and bobble the ball, meaning he failed to keep control throughout the process of the catch.

But that doesn't matter if the ball never hits the ground, or if he stays in bounds. You can reestablish control in the field of play. The point is that the ball hitting the ground is the *ONLY* reason a bobble even matters.

First off, he was down before he even crossed the plane, he was touched and his knee hit the ground at the one, then he slide into the end zone. That would be the equivalent of a guy getting tackled on the ground ,then having him roll four feet forward and taking a screenshot and saying "see" it was a first down!

Second the ball hit the ground. Stop your whining, especially after the charity you received last week.

I feel like there's a near certainty that at some point in this game Aqib Talib will score a pick six, Von Miller will get a stripsack, and Boom Herron will fumble.

You are completely wrong. The ground does not have to touch the ball to force an incomplete pass if the receiver bobbles the ball when hitting the ground, period.

OK man, I think you don't understand football, and it's understandable with some of the more nuanced rules. Enjoy the game.

Read the rules. It says you must secure control of the ball before, during, and after it hits the ground.

I get that.

But where is the line drawn between catch in progress and catch is made.

Because in my eyes, he has full control of the ball after he puts his first foot down. He then puts down his second foot, and then the first foot down again. Meaning he had control, wasn't down, and got 3 steps in, All this while he is falling forward, but still on his feet. Then he lunges forward and looses control of the ball when it hits the ground.... To me this seems more like a fumble.

I'm geniunely curious what the cutoff line is for catch in progress.
