But ...... the way it is written, I think the refs got both of those calls correct, just disagree with the BS rule.

Once a receiver makes a catch with obvious control of football, the ground should never be able to cause an incomplete pass, just like the ground cannot negate a runners yardage or cause a fumble.

Also, if a receiver catches the ball with obvious control, he should be able to stick the ball across the plane just like the runners do without having to take two steps to 'establish' himself as a runner!  BS, STUPID, DUMB, AND IGNORANT RULE!! 

My issue with the rule is that it only says that you must maintain control through initial contact, but it doesn't define when initial contact ends. I would think that once you make a football move, like reaching for the goal line with the ball, that initial contact has ended and a new one has begun, but Al Riveron doesn't see it that way. It's open to interpretation and unfortunately mine doesn't count but Al's does, so here we are.....
