Part of the confusion is the NFL rulebook and all the fan and betting sites include language defining "the pocket area" as the area extending 2 yards outside the tackles. Then the IG rule just mentions "the pocket". And all of us have heard and interpret that to mean tackle to tackle. The rule as enforced seems to limit the pocket to the area tackle to tackle. In fact, in that same Super Bowl, Kurt Warner threw a very similar throw and there was no flag so the play was called consisitently.

From the video clip provided, the actions of that QB look identical to those of many other QBs I have seen on many other Sundays and who were similarily NOT flagged for IG.
