This is a play which would put any crew on the spot. Both arguements have their validity. Both have their rules backing them. We all know that if there had not been any forward pass attempted that K would keep the ball. We also know that if A had not kicked the ball and ended the 4th down play with a legal incomplete pass that it would be B's ball. I am leaning toward allowing K to keep the ball because of the touching by R but explaining how a team can keep the ball after throwing an incomplete forward pass might just get us run out of the stadium.
It would clarify things under NF rules to say that after a legal kick it is illegal to attempt a forward pass and vice versa.
