I don't understand why they don't understand the ruling

It is very clear. On the field, the ref called it incomplete and blew it dead when the ball hit grass. The play was then reviewed. The play was ruled a fumble. BY NFL RULES, when a play is blown dead as an incomplete pass, but later reviewed to be a fumble, the ball is given back to the team that fumbled it at the place it landed. It’s simply a rule, just like if a player grabs your face mask, it is a penalty. No one is claiming that it wasn’t a fumble. The NFL’s rule may not be the fairest thing in the world, but the idea behind it is that once a play is blow dead, you cannot go back and review what happened after the whistle because the whistle means STOP PLAYING, and that’s what players do when they hear it, otherwise they might get an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty.

That's a rule they should change.

And they probably will change it at the end of the season. But if is written like that in the rulebook, then they made the right call and I’m not upset.

2-0.

I disagree

They should not change it. If the whislte blows and the play is dead. By trying to alter that is asking for confusion and possible injuries. If anything the refs should be instructed to keep the play going and if it turns out to be a incomplete pass the booth can request the play to be overturned. This being in the final 2 minutes. But I doubt it will be changed, IMO

They won't change it

and they have to “not understand” the call to make idiot fans feel better.
