He caught it. He had control. Wth was he supposed to do? Avoid touching the ground at all costs? I'm sorry NFL refs, I feel like their judgement is not that great.

The NFL needs to do what the NHL does and institute a league review office where personnel are connected to every game, and can make snap judgement calls anytime there's a questionable call in an NFL game. And they need to have every angle available. It's sad that in this day and age tv cameras that the league doesn't have access to have better replay angles than the ones the refs look at.
NHL officiating is pretty bad even with the monitoring.
