How was this forward progress?

Oh, incompetence was definitely at play. You absolutely cannot after the fact make a determination of stopped forward progress on a play that has resulted in a fumble with no whistle on the field. That's inexcusable officiating. 

Fair point I only felt that the previous fumble skewed the call

When in doubt, go with the call that's reviewable. I don't know if refs are taught that but if they aren't they should be. This is why they hold the whistle so much on plays that look like they should be blown dead sometimes. Once that whistle blows the play is dead. What you REALLY can't do as a ref is manufacture a whistle that was never blown and call a play dead after the fact due to the result of the play. That's how you get accused of game fixing or score fixing because it sure looks like you're doing some fixing.

True I personally don’t understand the idea behind “yeah we know but that’s not reviewable and therefore not fixable” it’s a tad illogical
