For me, the rule seems silly.


Let's say a running back was diving across the goal line with his arm stretched out... the second the ball crosses the plane, it's a td... it doesn't matter if the ball is fumbled out of his hands a split second later.

It's seems to me it's really up to the Ref. In another game this year same thing happen and it was a TD. i guess it's in the ref's hands

PS. the ref's in all sports have sucked this year in my eyes

That's correct. The Rules Committee really needs to revisit this. Once the ball is across the goal line and there's possession, it should be a TD.
This rule relating to a reception in the endzone makes no sense. It contradicts several other rules.
