Jerricho Cotchery's catch ruled incomplete after review - explanation?

Was there ever an explanation given after the game? Were Pereira and Mike Carey asked about this? Clete Blakeman ever say anything? I've seen little to nothing about this since the game ended.

You mean the obvious incompletion where the ball hits the ground, moves and then he regains control? 
Some people really are blind.

Horrible call that set up a game changing play. We won't hear any official explanation b/c there isn't one and it won't go along with the Manning story.

Looked like a catch to me.

The catch/no catch rule in the NFL is laughable.
Also, what's your opinion on the PI call on Norman in the endzone?

I thought it hit the ground before he rolled over
If it was called a catch on the field, it would have stood

He declared it would be overturned and ruled a catch. He's consistently wrong though. It's crazy how often he's wrong.
There is a point where he goes to the ground and it looks like the ball MIGHT make contact with the ground. At that point the ball does come loose from his grasp for a second. My guess is that they couldn't confirm that the ball didn't hit the ground...therefore the call stands.

No indisputable video evidence to indicate that the tip of the ball did not touch the ground when he first went down. Had they called it a completion on the field, they would not have overturned it either.

I kinda thought he caught it.
That said, it has to be decisive to overturn the play call on the field. So, here's what I think the call was.
Everyone looking at the replay focused on whether the ball touches the ground as he rolls over. But, I don't think that was the call.
If you watch the reply, as he INITITIALLY hits the ground, the point of the ball hits the ground too and moves around his body.
I think the call was that he bobbled it as he was falling and that once he had "control" he needed to maintain it as he hit. But, the point hit and the ball moved. Hence, they called no control.

I thought it was a catch...of course, I have no idea what a catch is anymore. I'd have to see it again, but I guess they didn't know if it hit the ground for sure or not. They did say it stood and it wasn't confirmed. Call would have stayed the same if it was ruled a catch at first.

Here come the Aubies to defend their prized turnip.
Was clearly an incompletion by current NFL rules, but even if the rules weren't in place. There wasn't enough evidence to overturn anyway.

1- Cotchery was bobbling the ball
2- The nose of the ball clearly touches the field
3- Cotchery gains control after 1 & 2 above happened
By rule, it is not a catch.
Had Cotchery had clear control of the ball prior to the ball touching the field, the nose of the ball touching the field would be irrelevant, and it would have been ruled a catch.
I believe this rule was made when the Bucs were playing the Rams in a playoff game some years ago, and a similar event happened when the Bucs receiver caught the ball, had control of the ball, but the ball touched the ground. Even though the receiver maintained control before and after the ball touched the ground, the refs ruled it incomplete and the Bucs went on to lose that game.

But I really don't know what is and isn't a catch anymore by NFL standards

I thought it was a catch until Mike Carey said that he thought it was a catch. Then at that point I knew it was going to stand
