But FP is ruled routinely on review plays. Almost every single "Did he make the first down" review is a FP decision. And MANY fumble / no fumble decisions are FP decisions in the end (otherwise you could just hold him up in a pile, keep him off the ground and knock the ball out - and unless they could see it on the field, it would always be a fumble).

If it is a first and 10 play and the play gains 5 yards, they are not reviewing FP. If it involves the line to gain, it can be. This was not even an issue of the GL being crossed. This was an issue was is FP stopped and should the play have continued. That is basically what we were told by our guys in an association that work that level. I should have been more clear. And yes they do review fumble, not fumble situations, but clearly the play was ruled dead before the ball was ripped out. I think that is why there was no overturn on the call.
