The catch has to survive your contact with the ground.Stupid stupid stupid.He didn't hold the ball long enough and put it away and make a football move before it was knocked out of his hands.Stupid stupid stupid.Ask a ten year old if the receiver caught the ball he'll say yes, he caught the ball, then....This insanity came about because refs can't get it right so they backed off to irrefutable evidence of a catch.If you go 2 frames of replay slow motion without the ball moving relative to the points of control (fingers, hands, pads, body, etc) of the receiver he has control and the catch is complete. This isn't that hard.The current rules are insulting to any athlete that's ever caught a ball. A catch is an event not a freaking process.
