As far as the incomplete, I wouldn't have a catch under NCAA either.

The same thing will happen in baseball when they eventually want to review every tag on a runner or the turn at 2nd base on a double play. They will get very technical on those rules as well. |

There are several "celebrations" that are grandfathered-in -- it's not just the Lambeau leap.

I may be wrong but replay didn't overturn this call, correct?

The call was made on the field and was not even replayed.

Replay did not review this play. It was not a scoring play (no automatic review), and Harbaugh did not challenge it. Had he challenged it, he would have lost.
Clearly the correct call, given the current NFL 'catch' philosophy. 20 years ago, this would have been a TD.

And I do not even think this would have been a TD years ago, he never got down his other foot. Peace

As to the play in question, it was correctly ruled an incomplete pass. The player did not even get a second foot down before the ball was knocked out of his hands and the replay booth was correct in not initiating a review.

NFL Rule Book (2011-2012) Rule 8, Section 1 COMPLETED OR INTERCEPTED PASS Article 3 Completed or Intercepted Pass. A player who makes a catch may advance the ball. A forward pass is complete (by the offense) or intercepted (by the defense) if a player, who is inbounds: (a) secures control of the ball in his hands or arms prior to the ball touching the ground; and (b) touches the ground inbounds with both feet or with any part of his body other than his hands; and (c) maintains control of the ball long enough, after (a) and (b) have been fulfilled, to enable him to perform any act common to the game (i.e., maintaining control long enough to pitch it, pass it, advance with it, or avoid or ward off an opponent, etc.). Note 1: It is not necessary that he commit such an act, provided that he maintains control of the ball long enough to do so. Note 2: If a player has control of the ball, a slight movement of the ball will not be considered a loss of possession. He must lose control of the ball in order to rule that there has been a loss of possession. If the player loses the ball while simultaneously touching both feet or any part of his body other than his hands to the ground, or if there is any doubt that the acts were simultaneous, it is not a catch. Item 1: Player Going to the Ground. If a player goes to the ground in the act of catching a pass (with or without contact by an opponent), he must maintain control of the ball throughout the process of contacting the ground, whether in the field of play or the end zone. If he loses control of the ball,and the ball touches the ground before he regains control, the pass is incomplete. If he regains control prior to the ball touching the ground, the pass is complete.

That meets (a) and (b) so it would be the judgment of the official as to whether (c) was met.

It's a judgement call as to whether the player was able to perform a football move. Even if that second foot would have gotten down, the hit was simultaneous to the second foot coming down and by rule, that would be incomplete (look at note 2).
