As mbyron already posted, one of the types of IG is throwing the ball into an area where there are no eligible receivers. Now this is where seeing the play would be helpful. If the quarterback is clearly dumping it to avoid losing yardage and it's clear there were no eligible receivers I think calling IG could be justified here.
