A ball that does not cross the neutral zone is not a forward pass? HUH? A pass is either forward or backwards and neither of those has anything to do with where the neutral zone is. Check this out:
Rule 2-19-2
Forward and Backward Pass
ARTICLE 2. a. A forward pass is determined by the point where the ball
first strikes the ground, a player, an official or anything beyond the spot
of the pass. All other passes are backward passes. When in question, it is
a forward pass rather than a backward pass when thrown in or behind the
neutral zone.
