Illegal Forward Pass Ruling in SD-PIT Game

[b10mtrk]

In response to waltjp (NFL disclaimer still on notice)

2) Backward pass/Fumble - National Federation (NF) has no restrictions on the recovering team advancing either, I believe the NFL has some restrictions regarding advancing fumbles in some situations - I am unaware of any NFL restrictions on advancing recovered backward passes.

4) Correct (NF) - Loss of Down (LOD) penalties negate an untimed down requirement for last play of quarter/half. However; I am unsure if IFP is an NFL LOD penalty. Good point

6) Correct in part (NF rules) - individual state associations can, and do, require PATs on game ending TDs. Pennsylvania so requires because Gardner Points are used as tie breakers for play-off spots and other states do as well.

SO - some folks with rule knowledge actually pay attention - this is good

Kudos to walt - keep posters honest
