Yes
They ruled it incomplete, then decided it was a catch because Venus was aligned with Mars and Cinderella's stage coach turned into a pumpkin, but then the receiver was never down so that means it's a fumble, but since nobody yelled Marco Polo and nobody picked up the football except the ref, that means the pass is incomplete again
Something like that
For all the shit Willie has talked about the officiating this season, I think the Patriots season is going to come down to a bad call. I just cant figure out which way it will go
Its either going to be a call in the Patriots favor that makes Willie do a 180 on his stance, or a call against them that sends him over the deep end

They called it incomplete. Upon review they called it a COMPLETED PASS. But the receiver was not down by contact and thus he fumbled. However, since nobody picked up the fumbled football, the call reverts back to being incomplete.
1) it was ruled a completion and a fumble, not an incompletion
2) nothing about any of that bullshit was a "good call"
Yea, everyone in this thread saying it was incomplete and they got it right on the field is a moron. If you watched the game, they clearly stated that because it was not recovered by anyone, they couldn't give them the ball at the spot of the catch.
On the field, they ruled incomplete because they thought he didn't catch it, not because no one recovered.
I agree that it doesn't feel like a catch to me, but thats the new rule

Pretty much. If Philly jumps on the recovery it 100% gets overturned to catch/fumble and Philly ball. Which means it was a...wait for it...catch/fumble.
From that point you have to treat it like any other fumble with no clear recovery. Which is to give it to the fumbling team where they fumbled.
Not the reason they lost but bad call.
