This fumble/incomplete pass play is a great example of how poorly written many rules in the NFL are.

 

The test for determining fumble vs. IP is so vaguely conceived that differing people can watch the same play in ultra slow motion and reach different conclusions.

 

The rule should be re-stated for this reason.

 

Make the standard of review something that is MUCH easier to determine one way or the other.

 

The "arm coming forward" thing and the rule as it stands now obviously doesn't work.

 

 

The only clarification to the rule is the "empty hand".  The ball was still in Barkley's hand and was not jarred completely loose.  He still had control when his arm went forward.

Yup even though it helped the bills I’m still upset the refs made such a blatantly bad call- AND AFTER A REVIEW!!

Gene Steratore the officiating "expert" on today's broadcast said he thought it was a fumble.  

 

I agree with him.  And yet it's easy to see why others would suggest the opposite.

 

See my long winded comment on this above.
