If you catch the ball in the air, you must come through and show full possession while going to the ground.

If you catch the ball with feet on the ground, the ground can not cause a fumble and down by contact would count.
So two hand catching ball in the air, transferring to left hand feet inbounds and stepping and lunging, reaching for the goal . When then does the catch occur. Feet clearly on ground he steps 2-3 xs , both hands caught ball, then in the act of reaching for a td the ball rolled come on . This is crazy. Guy caught ball on 5 yd line.

tem 1: Player Going to the Ground.
If a player goes to the ground in the act of catching a pass (with or without contact by an opponent), he must maintain control of the ball throughout the process of contacting the ground, whether in the field of play or the end zone. If he loses control of the ball, and the ball touches the ground before he regains control,the pass is incomplete. If he regains control prior to the ball touching the ground, the pass is complete

Well it isn't.  A "football move" would be defined as being upright and propelling himself in pretty much any direction intentionally, under full control of his own momentum.  That means landing with BOTH feet, taking a step then taking a second step WITHOUT falling due to his own momentum.

Bryant put two feet down (the landing of his second foot is NOT a step), but the rest of the action was his own forward momentum as he fell to the ground.  The ball CLEARLY hit the ground and came loose before he regained control. That will be ruled incomplete EVERY time.

He reached out to extend the ball over the goalline. In what walk of life other than football would anyone do this? If you were trying to catch a ball you would obviously bring it in to your chest to secure it.
What baffles me is how they couldn't clearly tell that the ball hit the ground on the review before half time, but they could without doubt say there was 'no football move' here. If they were even applying that rule. The sound bytes from Blandino often make it sound as though the refs on the field are as confused about the rules as the general public.

You my friend, are a literalist. There is the law or rule and the spirit of the rule, not to mention all the exceptions to the rule. The guy obviously made a football move even if he did not satisfy your literal reading of that rule.
