Zero percent chance that got reversed.  Zero.  There was no football move.  If you’re going to challenge that you might as well challenge the missed FG saying it actually went through.  Equal chance at reversal.  Zero.

100% guarantee.  Zero chance of this being overturned.  He hadn't completed catch and ball was knocked out of his hands.  Good play by Dolphins' DB, less than great play by Davis.  Reminiscent of drop by Lee Evans in Pats - Ravens playoff game a few years ago.  Catch would have given Ravens win but DB knocked ball out of his hands after catch.  More Brady magic.

If McD gets credit for when the players execute and are mistake free, then shouldn't he receive the blame when they don't execute and make mistakes?

 

No

You are mistaken on both accounts. There is an amount of time you have to control the ball and there is a football move requirement.

 

"To gain possession of a loose ball that has been caught, intercepted, or recovered, a player (a) must have complete control of the ball with his hands or arms and (b) have both feet or any other part of his body, other than his hands, completely on the ground inbounds, and, after (a) and (b) have been fulfilled, perform any act common to the game (e.g., tuck the ball away, extend it forward, take an additional step, turn upfield, or avoid or ward off an opponent). It is not necessary that he commit such an act, provided that he maintains control of the ball long enough to do so. This rule applies in the field of play, at the sideline, and in the end zone."

 

Gabe was in the process of making a "football move" when the ball was knocked out. So he clearly did not maintain control of the ball long enough to do so.

Ball was tucked, move completed.
