Only issue I had with it was the replay appeared to show his right hand moving on the ball as it was touching the ground. Either way, it was a tough call to make and the refs were going to catch hell regardless of which way the call went.
Eta: watched the replay again without beer induced vision and it doesn't look like his hand was moving on the ball. Ball was moving with his hand.

Ruling is very clear. Ball can touch the ground if first caught and controlled at any time before said touch.
Agreed. The rule was clear and the application seemed appropriate. However….

He did clearly have it in the air an instant before it touched the ground.
I don’t know if I’d say his possession was “clear”. It literally looked like his hands touched the ball at the exact same time as the grass did…so unless we say touching is possession, this is debatable.
TL’DR version: this one was going to get upheld whether it was called incomplete or int. Just way to close to overturn.

I didn't see the ball move in his hands at all when it touched the ground. That's all they needed for the call to stand. However, if it had been called incomplete, I think that call would have stood as well.
It's just one of those too close to get it wrong calls.

And the commentators kept saying that it should have been an INT bc the “ball didn’t move”, as if the sheer physics of trapping the ball was completely foreign to them. It was pretty infuriating. Assholes.

No if simultaneous, it's incomplete.
I can’t say that it was truly simultaneous. It was very close. I was about 60/40 catch and wouldn’t have faulted them for either call.
