It was clearly a fumble.

You have to re-establish control.

Imagine a more clear example.  

A player got broken coverage and is waltzing towards the endzone with no one around him.  He has clear control of the ball.  Just like DeSean Jackson or whoever, he throws the ball up in celebration as he is about to cross the goal line.  It rolls across the goal line and bounces out of bounds.    It's a clear fumble and touch back.

You can debate if you think it was conclusive enough, but the call itself is fine as long as they thought it was conclusive.

The angle looking at the play from the end-zone view clearly shows him recovering it.  Clearly.  And commentary even noted that that was the angle New York reviewed.  Again, if the ball is in the hand of the offensive player and the inside of the pylon is hit - play is dead, score is counted.  The only exception is the Dez/Calvin rule where he goes to ground in the process of making the catch (i.e. he's still a receiver, not a runner).

Burden of Proof is on the review to prove he didnt regain possession before goin outta bounds ... ruling on the field holds preference unless it can be Conclusively disproven ... they prove the ball moved but didnt prove he didnt regain it before he wen out which means it should stand as a TD ... the overturn was BS especially since the ball did not leave his hands and hit the ground or go out of bonds not in his control

It is like that, but if you want to nit pick.  Just instead imagine he goes to twirl it on his finger and bobbles it across the goal line and then it goes out.

The only reasons why people are reacting to it is because 1. it's the Patriots, and 2. because it was an extremely quick play.

No, they're reacting to it because it was garbage, and if it was against you, you'd be the exact same way.
