Every week I listen to these two candy-asses on PFT to see how they can spin things to make the Birds seem less than they are and I was still baffled by this take around 10 minutes in: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QU9CV4C453A

While watching the game, albeit through a biased lens, I didn’t think for a second that this was a catch and fumble as it was clearly what they’ve always called a “bang-bang” play in the past. He didn’t really make a move up field and I feel like the the actual duration of possession for a catch needs to be more than a fraction of a second. I get that there are criteria defining the number of steps, etc. and you can closely examine all that in slow motion, but I think it should be common sense for anyone watching in real time to see that this was a drop. Do ya’s disagree?

    in real time i thought it was, and if they had called it a fumble instead of an incomplete, i bet the ruling would have stood if challenged.
