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.

Correct, it couldn't be a fumble, just an incompletion. But I've thought on a number of occasions - since this new "complete the process of the catch" rule - that some of these players spike the ball way too quickly, but I've not seen anyone get burned on it yet.
