Was Polamalu's interception really an interception, or was the referee correct in calling it an incomplete pass?

The only rule that I am aware of on receptions prior to a fumble is that you have to make an athletic move with possession. This "his knee was still on the ground and then lost the ball" is what I view as a creative "hometown" call.
The refs also missed an interference call on Randel El in the 1st half and then what was with the "no call" on the 4th down when Faneca moved (they missed it) and then the Colts went across the neutral zone?

If that is not an interception, the rule needs to be changed. I don't know the football rules that well, so please someone explain to me how that is not an interception.
That play should never have been overturned. But then I am only an umpire (baseball). So you football officials, please explain that one to me. Oh, and what was up with that do over on the offsides/false start? I don't even know what to say about that.

Even more rare than NFL officials making a mistake is when a play gets overturned when it should not have been. They are looking at it and talking to a review man upstairs and discussing the rules related to it the whole time. I think they probalby got it right, whether we agree or not, but we will see. The NFL, more than anyone, will go public when their officials make a mistake. Time will tell.

Of course, this would be an INT in a HS game.

"In the act of making a catch, if a receiver makes a catch and goes to the ground UNTOUCHED by a defender, the receiver must have secure possession when he gets to his feet or when contacted by an opponent."

They may have been in the neutral zone but the ball wasn't snapped. Pittsburgh should have snapped the ball then they would have had them off-sides. But the crew did a bad job with making it a "no call."

Well then they need to change that rule. If Polomalu stays on the ground for a couple seconds after making the int and then looses the ball as he gets to his feet and by rule that is still an incomplete pass, that is a bad rule.
The man demonstrated possession through a dive and full roll. That should be enough. Props to the ref for making the right call. Now change the rule. Quote:
