The ref was fooled. It was a good move by Ben to scoot the ball over the line.

This is just silly. No one can be seriously arguing that the ref spotted the ball and upheld the spot based upon Ben's way-after-the-play movement of the ball.

Hello? A ref who is fooled by such tomfoolery happening right in front of him would not be in the NFL for very long.

And hello? The video was clear that Ben landed outside of the end zone and then moved the ball forward. An official who could not see that on the video would earn an extra deduction on his 1040 for being blind.

The dispute was where his forward progress stopped. Not where the ball ended up after the play. Ben's optimistic movement of the ball after the play was over was not a factor.

Please.

Ben's optimistic movement of the ball after the play was over was not a factor.

Then why did the ref wait until he ran up and saw the ball after the play to signal a TD. If the ref had saw the ball break the plane, he would have signal a TD long before he did. I can't believe everyone thinks the refs have super laser vision to make these calls and can not be fooled.
