If you're not SURE the ball was loose before it crossed the end line, you can't call it a loose ball (either).
I totally agree. Really puts the official in a tough spot. I would hate to be the calling official on this one. The more I talk to you guys about this play, the more I am leaning towards a good call. You got to make your mind up and stick with it, which is what he did.
