    Carey just never sounds convinced on what he is saying. What a waste of time. On the other hand
    MikePereira always adds to the process for Fox

    If Carey had been on the Dez Bryant catch, he would have gotten it wrong and it would have been a raging inferno of a controversy.

    Or CBS would have not brought him on until definitive decision was made by replay officials

    Does Fox even have second and third crews after Buck and Aikman? I swear the guy with Lynch last night was new (I'm sure he wasn't, just anonymous wallpaper) How will they ever do the Open?

    On this fumble call, Carey just sounds like a guy who doesn't know the rules.

    If I had a dollar for every time this season that he said something and it was immediately disagreed with on the field.

    Not that I blame Carey. These rules are so vague that an 'expert' is wrong half the time.

    I really don't know this rule, but I find it hard to believe that the same standard for possession/control applies to a kick return as a pass reception.

    Just the same it seems like Pereira is rarely wrong.

    I had the same reaction. I wasn't sure why Carey was saying that the return man needed to maintain possession all the way through the play. If a returner possesses the ball and is tackled to the ground, it's simply down by contact, right? If a receiver loses the ball as he's going to the ground, it's an incompletion, not a fumble. It's a totally different scenario than a punt return. I've never heard anyone talk about a returner maintaining possession as he goes to the ground to establish a catch.

    Especially since all the ball has to do is touch him to create a fumble.
