Just seems like they found an obscure interpretation, that most have never seen used before, to justify overturning a call that couldn't be overturned based on his knee being down.
I'd really like a serious interpretation of the Colts/Pats PI calls and non calls from November as well, but we'll never get those.

This is odd, seeing as before the "tuck game", who had ever heard of the "tuck rule"? As I understand it, a player who is falling on his own accord (and not because of a tackle), must maintain the ball through the fall. Obviously, Ben did not do that. I was thinking (during the review process) that our BEST HOPE was that the ball be called incomplete. what I thought was curious (rewatching the game-CBS style) was that when they showed the replay, they showed it from the point (still frame) where the ball was already in the process of being caught, as if that instant was the point where Ben "had possession". It was a close call, but not shaking my head wondering where they came up with that call. I agree that he never had "possession". if you think he DID, you are saying you fell he did, then the ball starts to come out, before his leg touches the turf??
Did you see the play where they called the false start (when Bethea picks it off, and clearly scores if play isn't whistled?) Nothing like the SD game where he has to go through 11 guys. Anyway, the TE rear barely moves, it was incredible that the ref even saw it, it was an instant before the snap. His head, shoulders, hands are motionless. Just a slight movement from his rump. Here's the deal though, I can't imagine all the bad mouthing that would have taken place HAD JAX scored on that play. In the end, it was the correct call, but how's come Jack ain't *****in' about that? After all, from his standpoint, it was due to the D-line "barking" signals (even though Jax was working on a silent count). He's a doofus when it comes to coaching and discipline. They are pissed because it was our guys that were popping his in the mouth, and in the end, got outplayed.
