Saying that play was our fault is complete BS. So if the player pitches the ball to the ref and the ref bobbles it, is it a fumble the other team can recover? There is no rule saying a player has to hand the ball to the ref to end a play.
You misunderstand my point. You remove all doubt by handing it to the official. Thats the normal thing to do. I agree it was a horrible call though.
