That example the receiver doednt establish possession according to the rules. Try again.

Lnch, how many yards does it take to get a first down? I want to see if you know this rule

Not if he fails to maintain possession and the ball hits the ground.

Deflect more.

Holy shite what? He didn't establish possession, hence incomplete. If he had possession it's a td.
For your example, not Dez. Before someone tries to spin that around.

Wait, you told me a guy doesn't have possession at any time if he catches a ball and then let's go when he hits the ground.
How can I "maintain" something that is impossible to occur according to you?

That's not what I saud actually. You can try and spin it all you want. There is no other result from a player possessing the ball and breaking the plane. Your example didn't have that, so it was pointless.

Tell me another possible result of a player possessing the ball and breaking the plane.

I'll bullet point it out again but I fear it's for naught.
Again:
1) Player catches ball in the endzone while in the air.
2) BY RULE "he must maintain possession through the ground.
Now, what does this rule imply?
It implies that a player has possession, BUT, possession can cease if he doesn't keep it through the ground. That is what the word "maintain" means. It means he must maintain the possession he has at that moment he is in the air.
3) Player hits the ground in the endzone and ball dislodges.
At this point, the player HAD possession but it was not maintained
4) Therefore, when he caught the ball while in the air he had 1) possession and 2) the ball had crossed the plane. YET it is not a dead play ruled as a TD.
I don't see how you can't follow this by your own words or I'm getting trolled which is fine. I'm bored anyways

So the never had possession by rule? Got it.
Lance Moore made a clear football move and hit the ground in case you didn't see it. So he possessed the ball while breaking the plane. Your example, the receiver never has established possession. You've got to be joking with this shite.

You're yhe one saying a receiver that doesn't possess the ball according to the rules is relevant to what I asked you.
I'll ask one last time so you can give the correct answer hopefully. Is there any result other than scoring when a player in possession of the ball according to the rules breaks the plane?

Box, not sure if it is parsing words or not, but refs often say 'never had possession' or 'did not maintain'.
Not sure on the rulebook, but there is a big difference.
