How was Bryant's catch ruled a TD

I don't see where he had possession with two feet in.
Maybe I'm just old now and blind. Looks to me like he didn't have it pinned until the last foot down

Definitely no conclusive evidence that he lost control after this point.
No way they can overturn that.

The argument is he had it constantly against his body and the ball wasn't bobbling.
In reality it was an inhuman catch that was given the benefit of being amazing.

I know he caught it. But it didn't seem he had control to me. Just my opinion. Not a fan of either team. Don't have a reason to say either way.
I also didn't see game live.

The ball was moving until his last foot in bounds left the ground. An obvious no catch that is getting lost in the fact that the game ended in such a shite show.
Trying to pin the ball while it rolls around on different parts of your body is in no way shape or form "control"

No conclusive evidence that he didn't control the ball from that point forward.
Not that hard.

The ball was never moving after he got the 2nd foot down.

It really just highlights the insanity of what is and isn't a catch given some of the other passes that have been caught much more cleanly this season and been ruled incomplete

And from the point I'm referring to forward, only one foot hit the ground. Unfortunately in the nfl, you need two.
Agreed. Not even remotely hard.

The point I'm referring to in my picture is his 1st foot.
There is no conclusive evidence that he didn't control the ball from that point forward.
Not that hard. That's why the call stood.

The ball continued to roll after that screenshot. Still no clue how it wasn't overturned under the ridiculous rules the NFL has.

Other than the ball rolling around all over his body. Unless you are implying he intended for the ball to roll around all over his body. Control implies the ball is moving where you intend it to, not where gravity dictates.
Easy overturn.

That's exactly what I saw.

If he didn't do the flip afterwards, I think it gets overturned.
Those officials wanted no part of a Dez Bryant situation and rightfully assumed most people wouldn't care because it was so awesome.

Now you're just exaggerating.

You need control with two feet.

Fair.
Rolling around his lower extremity.
Better?

There was no conclusive evidence that he lost control of the ball.
If it was ruled incomplete, it would have stood as incomplete.
People acting like this should have been an easy overturn are nuts.

Exactly. You can't gain control between the first and second step. You need to have control then get two feet in.

The call was right or wrong depending on who you're a fan of.
Your internal bias determines how you're seeing it.
I still have no idea what a fumble catch is any more though. This catch made it even more muddled in my mind.
