I have seen bang bang plays ruled fumbles (because of "football moves")

[unblock]

29. the problem is the rule requires control to be demonstrated *after* both feet hit the ground.

he caught it and tucked it before extending it to reach for the goal line, which all demonstrates control.

the problem is, he tucked it before his feet his the ground. by the time his feet are on the ground, he is already extending it to the goal line. then, when it hits the goal line, it touches the ground.

had he started to extend to the goal line after his feet hit the ground, touchdown.
had he put one hand under the ball so that it didn't touch the ground, touchdown.
had the rule allowed for demonstrating control prior to both feet touching the ground, touchdown.

as written, technically incomplete, but why? why should demonstrating control prior to both feet touching be necessary for a pass to be considered complete?

demonstrating control should be a requirement.
both feet down in-bounds should be a requirement.
control specifically happening after the second? where's the need for that?

silly rule.
