The ground can't cause a fumble but it can cause an incompletion. You can't fumble if you never establish possession.
The ball just has to cross the plain of the goal line but you also have to establish possession and in the NFL possession isn't established until you secure the catch throughout the entire process of falling to the ground.
Two feet are all that is required. That is true but not sufficient to establish that a catch was made.
Logic seems to escape Raider fans. Argue that the ball was secured throughout the entire fall to the ground and it didn't move until the fall was complete. That's at least a logical argument.
Oh, and I've seen this called at least two or three times in the NFL so nobody is picking on you.
That's all... and I'm well aware that the odds of a Raider fan seeing this are slim to none.
