I agree that there is not much you can tell from these pictures. It would be different from what we see in full motion video. I also feel that officials can make decisions based on some basic philosophies and seeing still pictures might not be the best way to know what would be called for sure, but you sure can come up with a call based on some simply philosophies. Based on some basic philosophy that I have been taught over the years, I have no TD. The receiver did not appear to maintain control after hitting the ground. I know at the college level this is expected for a catch to be completed.

Also this would not be a kick unless you thought of this as intentional and is not a rule that will be nit-picked by officials too often. The kick would really have to be obvious and based on these pictures it looks much more like bodies tangled up and the foot inadvertently hits the ball.

Peace
