Anyway I think the "control of the ball" part of the rule inherently introduces a time element. You control the ball because it doesn't move for a certain amount of time. Even if it's a fraction of a second. I don't see how the time element could be entirely dismissed.

Yes it will create more fumbles, but is wrong with that? The NFL played with the two feet down or equivalent possession rule since the league was created and nobody complained about it or said there are too many fumbles. Turnovers are a exciting game changing play, nothing wrong with it. No need to protect the offenses any more then they already do. There was over 1000 yards of offense in the superbowl and only one punt. That is not balanced.
It wasn't until they changed the rules to promote more passing and give the offense more advantage and reason to throw the ball more, it has changed the game in a bad way.
Plus it is a contradiction when you can catch a ball on the edge of the sideline, as the receiver then steps put of bounds and only have two feet down and it is a catch. But in the field of play Jessie James gets his left foot and right knee down with possession of the ball and he is ruled incomplete.
You cannot have it both ways. the ball has to survive the ground rule has to go.

Really enjoyed the SB. Very happy for my eagle friends. Even my wife who doesn't care or watch football other than the super bowl commented on how she thought the announcers were biased. Also during the Bud Light commercial I heard the term "Dilly dilly" I have heard it before but don't know the reference. wtf is it?

Ertz clearly caught the ball. He clearly made a "football move" so I don't know why Collingsworth was whining about it. I also don't know why the zebra sat there and had to review the play for 5 min. That entire sequence was so annoying.

It was a GG but not a top 5 game IMO, only reason I say that is because there was literally no defense at all, guys running wide open all night and gaping holes to run through. It looked like a college game

The ball moved a bit on Clement's TD but I feel like they got it right that's how it should be called. He still maintained control. Problem is we've seen too many plays like that get overturned. Stop with this idea every catch needs to be pristine.

With Ertz he was 110% a runner when he dove. I don't know what the confusion was all about.
