That was horrible, I can't believe he didn't know what happened on that TD. Tell him when you have the possession of the ball and cross the goal line it is over.

Not if you're designated as a receiver when you cross the line, which was the whole issue. That's why the ref started off by ruling that he was a runner and therefore didn't have to maintain possession. A receiver has maintain possession after breaking the line; a runner doesn't.

Especially after taking three football steps with full possession.

Tell that to the guy that called the Dez Bryant fumble a few years ago. Clearly had possession, clearly reached the ball across the line to score, ball hit the ground and came out of his hand.

It's funny to see how many people in this thread haven't watched any NFL games in the last few years. While we all agree that it was a touchdown, to act like Collinsworth was off his rocker for doubting the original call shows who hasn't been paying attention. Dez Bryant, Calvin Johnson, Jesse James... all looked like catches to most fans, but the overly worded NFL interpretation of a catch allowed some replay official to overturn the calls on the field.

Now as to why Collinsworth kept on about it after the call was confirmed, I don't know, but based off past NFL history, the Eagles had to be holding their breath during the review.
