the ref seemed to think it bobbled on the ground a little once his body came down. that is certainly true, but it sure looked like his arm was still under it to me- and it's allowed to touch the ground as long as you have control!
I don't know about this call...because I couldn't clearly see it from where I was seeing and the replays at the stadium were inconclusive to me. The REFS blew the Pass Interference call against Seattle big time.....but other than that, I won't complain about them.

I'll give you guys a little tip: If you're at FedEx, and wanna know whether a challenge will be overturned or not, just look at the jumbotron. If, at home, the home team is challenging a call, they'll only show the replay over and over again if it looks like the call will favor the home team. If the play is obviously going to go against the home team, they will only show the replay on the jumbotron once.
They only showed that replay on the screen at FedEx once yesterday, an indication that it wouldn't be reversed.
So, if it looked like it would be reversed, they'd show it over and over again on the jumbo-tron. As DEHog said, the ball obviously hit the ground and there was never any doubt that it would be overturned. The refs made the right call on this one.
Although the refs made the right call, I think it showed fantastic awareness and abilities by Moss.

The ball never came out... the refs used that old "the ball was moving around when he hit the ground" excuse to save face for blowing the initial call and saying he was out of bounds...
Huh...I thought it was a definite TD, too...but I'll take DEHog's word for it...if a die-hard on these boards is saying it wasn't a TD....that's good 'nuff for me.
