REPLY: Joe...I'd stay away from calling this one an IFP. The only reason that the restriction on "throwing into an area unoccupied by an eligible receiver" is in the rules is to keep the QB from dumping the pass. In the case you mentioned, he wasn't doing that. He was throwing to a player that he--and probably everyone else--thought was eligible.
