I called it a non-fumble in real time, you have to complete the football move and the ball came out mid-move.
Also, on replay you can see the ball shifting significantly as he initially transfers the ball.
The best I could argue is that it was a 50-50 call. Whereas the Luke Willson TD was clearly short (which I also called in real time). Overall I thought the refs helped Seattle more than they hurt them in this game.

My brother and I were laughing hysterically about how millions of people were forced to watch Luke Willson's butt in slow-mo.
If he never attempts to tuck it in but just holds it in his two hands, gets hit and loses the ball, is it a fumble? What if he never attempts to tuck it in but just drops it b/c he craps himself in fear? Is it a fumble then?
I don't keep up with the rules as much as I used to, but if that honestly, truly, isn't a catch and a fumble per league rules, those rules need to seriously be examined. I know they put a lot of thought into it this offseason with the Dez situation, but sounds like they might have screwed it up more.
