The incomplete pass ruling
We all hated the ruling of an incomplete forward pass. And it sure was more intended to be a handoff than a pass forward. But by the letter, the ball moved forward with his arm moving forward so it was a legit ruling.

Re: The incomplete pass ruling
Is still don’t think it went forward. It went straight up in the air. If a lateral went perfectly horizontal to the field, it is a pitch and not a pass. If a ball goes straight up in the air and doesn’t go forward, it should be a pitch and not a pass.

Re: The incomplete pass ruling
What about the two hand part ? That is called a pitch. Nobody is out there granny style “throwing” passes to receivers.
Jordan Nathan should have been called for a safety though so I guess you win some and you lose some.

Re: The incomplete pass ruling
I want to see another look at that PI call in the end zone. On the only replay, to me it looked like clear offensive PI, as the ball was coming in the Boise WR grabbed our guy and pulled him out of the way. But they never showed it again.

Re: The incomplete pass ruling
We shouldn't be too worried about officiating in this game when Boise State should've had a safety. Boise State has an L in their Win/Loss column because of bad officiating on one play against Ok St and they left 2 points on the board in this game because of a bad call.

Re: The incomplete pass ruling
OMG. The dude needs to turn his head before the ball arrives and avoid running over receivers before they catch the ball. I get that the Wazzu game the call was close, but he really needs to be set straight. I'm not convinced that our DBs coach is doing any coaching.

Re: The incomplete pass ruling
It was probably the correct call, but honestly, I would like to see the rule changed to make it more clear in a number of situations. My suggestion: if it passes the line of scrimmage from behind the line of scrimmage, it is a forward pass. If not, it is a pitch and a live ball - regardless of whether the QB's hand moves forward, regardless of whether the ball moves forward, etc. This would advise most of the pass vs fumble debate. It would also make bubble screens a lot more interesting.

Re: The incomplete pass ruling
Honestly, I've only been a fan of Utah State for 4-5 years, but I know the Aggies have become my team because I said multiple times yesterday, "We do not have the smartest fan base" or "It was quite embarrassing how our fans react to forward passes, fair catches, pass interference, etc."
However, after I said that a few times, I realize I was saying "we" and "our" vs. "they" and "their" for the first time.
Silver lining I guess. Haha

Right, because no other fan base thinks they get screwed on PI's and holding penalties; or, know the intricacy behind the ruling of a fumble on what essentially is a shovel pass.

No, that was not "essentially a shovel pass".

Re: The incomplete pass ruling
Help me understand how to interpret "forward" and "pass". When I look at this I see a two hand throw straight up. I guess in basketball they might call that a pass, but I can't see anything that resembles forward.GrandPoubah wrote: ↑September 27th, 2021, 12:23 amHa ha - Perhaps I'm getting old and just expect too much for people to listen and think "oh that's right, there is that rule which states that when a forward pass hits the ground prior to being possessed by another player, its called incomplete".FloridaAggie13 wrote: ↑September 26th, 2021, 9:43 pmRight, because no other fan base thinks they get screwed on PI's and holding penalties; or, know the intricacy behind the ruling of a fumble on what essentially is a shovel pass.

I know you aren't talking about this play only, but this is a play they reviewed and confirmed this was a forward pass.

Re: The incomplete pass ruling
It is for sure not your typical shovel pass that is pretty easy to distinguish. He literally just drops the ball in fron of his body it does not seem to go forward at all. It is for sure borderline.Full wrote: ↑September 27th, 2021, 7:54 amHelp me understand how to interpret "forward" and "pass". When I look at this I see a two hand throw straight up.

Re: The incomplete pass ruling
A pass, in order not to be a lateral, has to travel forward from where it is released from the QB's hand (hands in this case). Hence the defined term "forward pass."
This was a crap call, and would not be called on a featured CBS noon EST game for anyone not named Boazy.

So my question is this: If they don't botch the handoff, does the QB get credit for a completion?

Re: The incomplete pass ruling
In my opinion, this is different than what their "pass" was. I believe they actually "faked" this portion of it in Boise's play, and gave it to the running back next to him. I'd say in the Mahomes play, it actually kinda tosses it in front of him, in the Boise play, he tossed it straight to his side, for the running back to get.GrandPoubah wrote: ↑September 28th, 2021, 10:56 amPatrick My Homie beat me in fantasy football this week because of his TD pass......QuackAttackAggie wrote: ↑September 27th, 2021, 9:06 pmYes.

Re: The incomplete pass ruling
This is still a backwards pass. You see the motion of Bachmeier is all from the elbow to the wrist, his shoulder to his elbow does not extend outward and the motion of the ball is up and backwards. A backwards pass, or lateral, is live ball until recovered. When Bachmeier was showing the ref he extended his elbows forward in an way to explain that it was a pass, but in the play the ball is no traveling forward.
Re: The incomplete pass ruling
There was nothing forward in that hand off.
