Every other instance this has happened the player dropped it a yard or 2 early, l and it was clear and obvious.

Until you show me a view down the line I still say that ball crossed before he dropped it.

I agree that there is not conclusive evidence that Taylor dropped the ball before the nose of the football touched the imaginary plane, but this portion of your post is not true ...... I don't think a player has ever dropped the ball 2 full yards or even one full yard before it crossed the plane of the goal line in all of the times that which I have seen this happen. It is almost always 1/2 of a yard or less when they have done it. It's almost always very close whenever it happens. It has often been clear and conclusive when a player dropped the ball early, but it's almost always 1/2 of a hard or less (1/3 of a yard, or a foot.)

My thread title says the 1/2 yardline, but that was just a general description of the overall scenario of this occurrence ...... in Taylor's case, MAYBE he dropped the ball at about the 6-inch line, but again, I think that you are correct is asserting that there is/was not any clear and conclusive evidence that it did come out of his hands prior to it crossing the plane of the goal-line.
