He didn't have time to establish himself and he clearly lost the ball going to the ground. By rule: Incomplete. Yet somehow they said he established himself with two steps and Eifert didn't with 4 steps!
I really would like a good explanation from some of the posters that insist this rule is easy to understand. Because this play should have been overturned if the Eifert one was. I just don't understand this rule at all.
Also, I was thinking after this play: if Eifert were to have did everything he did on that non TD catch, but instead reached across the goal line with the ball, and then pulled the ball back into his body at the one inch line and controlled the ball to the ground, would that be a completion at the one inch line, or a touchdown?
