Jim, would you be arguing the same advantage/disadvantage argument if the punter had

I know what you are saying BKref but what i am saying is the referree clearly had a punter bobbling the ball. It seems the default in the referees mind should be a no call. Literally on the film, the Digital Film by the way, there is ONE frame, and Digital Film is 30 frames per second, so ONE Thirtieth of a second...ONE frame I can pause and put the ball in my punter's hand and his knee on the ground...

Ten frames before and Ten frames after he is bobbling the ball clearly....

I guess this referee would have called the same bobbling catch a touchdown on a similar hypothetical play....the rule says, possession and a knee down, but i mean really he had the ball for one thirtieth of a second...That is some pretty good eyes on a ref don't you think....

I am not saying, don't call what you see, what I am saying, is it should have not been seen in the situation....seems the ref was on a witch hunt to me....
