On the fake punt pass, it was CLEARLY a completed pass, down by contact, and a fumble. Yet somehow the refs called it incomplete on the field? I laughed my arse off at that one and counted the Saints' blessings

Don't question rules if you don't know them

The rule is if you get possesion and 2 feet down, make a "football move" before you are hit then the play is ruled dead and a complete pass when your knee hits the ground regardless of what happens after the instant your knee hits the ground.

If you make the catch but dont have a chance to land 2 feet and make a football move(which is exactly what happened on that play) before you are hit then you must maintain possesion all the way through for a completed pass.

He caught the ball, was not able to land both feet, was hit and then lost the ball upon contact with the ground. This is an incomplete pass, if you disagree, then you must take it up with whoever makes the rules.

There was no way in any situation that could have been a fumble considering he didnt lose the ball untill he was laying on his back.
