I thought it looked like the ball was bobbled when his hand hit the ground after completing the catch.

It was bobbled against the ground... but he had crossed the plane. I guess they decided that the pass-catching completion rules dominated the passing the goal-line plane rule.

Even the announcers were surprised. Romo said, “Oh... that’s what they’re discussing on the review”, after first saying “Touchdown!”.

Yes.

Anyone over the age of 35 or 40 who has seen a lot of footall in their life would KNOW that was a good catch. His veryslight bobble as the ball and his hands touched the ground IN THE END ZONE is meaningless.
