I see nothing in the rules that make this play non-reviewable. The rule (Rule 15 section 9) is a rule of exclusion. It lists reviewable plays and provides that anything not in the list is not reviewable, with a note containing a nonexhaustive list of 7 unreviewable plays.
Section (a)(3) makes reviewable "Pass complete/incomplete/intercepted at sideline, goal line, end zone! and end line.". There is no exclusion for "possession," and indeed possession is frequently part of a review. None of the 7 exclusion examples include possession or anything like it. This seems like a reviewable play. If Austin says possession is not reviewable, my conclusion fron the book is that he is in error, unless he means it in a different sense than I understand. We frequently see the call that the receiver "did not maintain possession through the catch" on instant replay. Can't see how this is different. |

Isn't this the exact reason why we have a dual possession rule in football? Because there is really no way to truly know who had clear control? |

The question here is does one person have more control over the ball with two hands vs. a player with one? Unless they can point to a rule defining which is control and which isn't when both a receiver and defender have contact, then I doubt you can have anything but dual control/possession. |

Trying to make sense of this, looks to me like the Packer had possession first?
and everyone clearly is inbounds when they land... We can see whether or not the NFL takes this down, but here's the clip as of now: Seahawks vs Packers controversial touchdown - YouTube |

Doubt they'll take it down (unless they are going for copyright issues.)
They have their own guys on their own website with the video talking about how this is a horrific call.

You cannot have possession of a football in the air. And the GB player is in the air in the first two pictures.

Take it up with Gerry Austin. He says differently.
