2- Now, if you're going to rule that it's an illegal forward pass that's thrown to consume time, you can't allow the clock to start on the snap. 3-6-3

1. The ball was not thrown "directly" to the ground. It was thrown to the lineman's leg.
2. You are correct. The referee should start the clock on the ready.
