Duh! There can't be a receiver if no pass is thrown. I would see the ineligible tight end downfield, and grab my flag, but if I see no throw, I don't throw my flag. I only throw the flag if the pass is thrown forward and beyond the line of scrimmage. If the ball is thrown away, there is no foul for ineligible receiver downfield, only (potentially) for an illegal forward pass (intentional grounding).
