let's not enforce the rules because the team you support was affected negatively by applying them.
I don't think the ball touched the ground.

The rule is that if the ball hits the ground and moves in any way, it is an incomplete pass. It was pretty straight forward.
There wasn't an angle that showed the ball actually hit the ground
I think it did, but his elbow was covering the view.
The ball certainly moved after too, so he didn't have possession

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.
Honestly I was shocked it was called as stands rather than confirmed. The tip of the ball clearly hit the ground.

Jerricho Cotchery's catch ruled incomplete after review - explanation? by LSU Piston
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.

You do know the ball can hit the ground? That was changed after the Bucs Rams NFCCG

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.

But the ball clearly moves... A lot

His hand is under the ball and I didn't see any view that showed definitively that it hit the ground.

Couldn't care less about either team.

There indeed was footage shown on TV where the ball did not touch the ground.

Also, what's your opinion on the PI call on Norman in the endzone?
Holding...not PI.

That's what most of us are saying.

It did touch the ground but he had his hand under the ball and controlled. It was definitely a catch by any common sense measure.

You can have possession and the ball move also.

You do know that if it does, it can't move to demonstrate control, right?
Some of you really don't know the rules do you?

It can hit the ground as long as the receiver maintains complete and continuous control. After it appears the ball hit the ground, it popped out from resting in his left hand and rolled across his chest where he tried to trap it with his right elbow.

It looks like it hits the ground to me
