[QUOTE="Northeast Stinger, post: 963429, member: 1640"] This is when I think slow motion replay can be misleading. A blessing and a curse. How long does control have to be demonstrated? 1/10 of a second? 1/20 of a second? If the ball is continuously sliding in his grip that is different from it was secure for a fraction and then slipped. Back in the day a player might catch a ball in the end zone and then immediately get plowed by a tackler causing him to lose the ball. If I recall, it was anlmost always called a touchdown, no matter how short of a fraction of time the ball was secured, unless it was demonstrably clear the receiver never had possession. But I also remember refs agonizing over the call and some controversies before replays became a regular thing. [/QUOTE]
