What is wrong with Ponder on deeper throws? He *has* to stop throwing leaning backwards.

The next pass was a good one (Wright caught it).

3rd ball 15+ that was 5 yards over the receivers head.

Aside from that, it pi sses me off that refs confirmed the call already then changed their mind. Full of bull freaking shiit.
There was an angle that showed him losing the ball after he was stood up and bent backwards. I think the official originally just saw that he lost the ball when his knees were off the ground so that is why the originally said it was confirmed. But then he saw another angle where his knees were on the ground and then he was stood up, so all in all they got the call correct.
