Why is the it punching it back? It is an incomplete forward pass and there should be all kinds of whistles! That is poor officiating IMHO

Also, anybody have roughing the passer here? I'm leaning towards not but I'm not really sure.

It cannot be roughing the passer on a ruled backward pass.

Peace

True. OK, say it was ruled forward. RTP?

No I would not have RTP. He was hit almost immediately after the pass was released. At least that is my opinion.

Peace

I know. To be fair, I posted that little tidbit first.

As ruled, I have nothing.

Most officials I know would flag that as UR. Even after blowing the forward pass call.

Most officials I know would NOT flag that. The tackler flipped the runner over, but he did not have the "top-down" leverage required to drive him head-first into the ground. The tackler ended underneath the runner.

You know, I didn't even notice that it was a forward pass. It was ruled a backward pass and unsportsmanlike conduct (arms out to the side mechanic). That was the only call of the night that made me go "HUH?" so I thought I'd check with you guys.

Thanks.

I have no flag on it. The pass did look forward and watching the first 2.5 minutes of the video I saw some poor officiating mechanics...Also, a bit earlier I saw a "fumble" recovery for a TB by B on a play which also looked like an incomplete forward pass. I may go back and take a second look.

side point: I think watching film is an excellent way to review ourselves and get better while being able to see actual plays and situations that hopefully wont be a suprise when we see them live.

Where is the best place to find film to watch? I know in another posting the guys were talking about getting copies of their Friday night games from the AD, but I'm not on a varsity crew yet. Do you think the JV coach would give me their film?

No....

The only reason this guy posts is to rip officials.

Look for him to show up a bit more in the future. Seems he took his football and cleats and went home from the FED site.
