I am not even a Boys fan but there is no doubt that the “control” call on the goal line was complete incompetency by the refs. The runner had control of the ball no doubt all the way to the ground and the ground caused him to loose control. His knee was down and he had control of the ball when the ball made contact with the ground. Play over, dead, Dallas first and goal.
The NFL got their payback today. An non apology coming from the idiot league pres this week.

See post 48.
But that's not the rule. If you leaver your feet as part of the catch, you must maintain possession all the way. As he rolls over, the ball touches the ground, so the subsequent bobble means that he did not maintain control.
The Cowboys were the beneficiaries of a similar call in their December game against the Redskins, when RG3 "fumbled" the ball through the endzone because it came loose in his hands and despite regaining control heading into the endzone, the ball came out when he hit the ground, so he didn't establish control as per the rulebook.
The reversal on replay was 100% the correct call. You have an issue with the rule, not the officiating.
