See the link I posted. The Butler strip of OBJ a half-second after the "catch". That's incomplete, and has been consistently called that way for quite a while now.

yeah... I think your video proves my point more than yours, but we are disagreeing over an interpretation of "simultaneous". In the rule-book vid, the rule states "if the ball comes out simultaneous or near simultaneous to the second foot coming down it's incomplete".... In the OBJ "catch" the ball is punched out almost exactly as the second foot comes down or just a hair after. However, Harris actually took 3 steps, not 2, before the ball
BEGINS to get stripped and they start wrestling.
But I agree, they would have never given the Chiefs that call, or overturned the call on the field. Should have kicked the dang FG anyway, so...
