The fumble/forward pass dispute

You’re right and no one will have a good answer.

I agree on some level, but the penalty is intentional grounding. I know it's a misnomer, because you can intentionally ground it in some situations without penalty. And they never seem to follow the letter of the rule that allows them to call it in other situations where there was obviously no intent to throw a complete pass.

But I don't think I've ever seen a "tuck rule" type non-fumble called IG. I'm sure it has happened. I've just never seen it.

Why would you think they would know to call IG there? It took them several seconds and discussions to call the first 2.

Right I'm not saying this cost us the game. I'm saying I'd like a blanket rule passed that says if it is deemed a forward pass and not a fumble then an automatic 15 yard intentional grounding should be awarded. The defense should be rewarded in some way. This effectively makes it a get out of sack play.

His arm was hit. It’s not that difficult to understand.

Chase ur 4 is correct
His hand was bringing it back when he got hit
Fumble
And it did cost us the game

if you rule it a forward pass then why would it not be then flagged as intentional grounding?

I said this exact same thing.
