This could all be resolved - as well as what constitutes a fumble - if the NFL went back to the simple rules we used in our back yard football games from the 1970's:

- If the ball doesn't touch the ground as you are falling out of bounds ("bounds" being the imaginary line between the two pine trees on the right; between the grape vine post and the maple on the left side of the field), you caught it. Doesn't matter if you juggled it or not; if it's in your arms and didn't touch the ground, you caught it.

- It's a fumble if the ball comes out. Mike Kammer knocks you on your ass while you're running toward the goal line (the "goal line" being the imaginary line between the edge of the garden and the blue spruce), and you hit the ground, causing the ball to pop out - that's a fumble. Dave Kreuger tackles you, you stumble, one knee hits the ground, the ball comes out - that's a fumble.
