I've seen that called a few times.

It's a legit call - it's when the defense yells out the snap call to induce a false start or premature snap.

Y'all are ignoring how a defensive hit causes the errant pass


What are you even trying to say here?

So are you saying that a defensive hit on the QB is not allowed to be a factor in the QB losing the ball. If a defender hits the QB and he loses the ball it doesn't count?

The intent when a QB goes back to pass is to throw it forward. Oops I threw it to the wrong team, my bad. No interception.

Saints should find a rule that allows them to score a point

You're confusing the fumble part with the backwards pass part.

Re-read what I said

The second the league got in bed with the gambling sites, the whole thing went to shite.

Pretty clear fumble by the Lions there. I’m sure the refs will find a way to say he was still in possession.


Refs ruled it a fumble, New York overturned it

When that happens, you don't get grounding, either


If you are ruling the QB is intending to throw it forward then it can be grounding

That’s the problem. By saying it was a forward pass, you open up a whole bunch of other issues.

I intended to catch it it, therefore it's not incomplete.

Maybe the Saints can get a judge in Louisiana to rule that it was a fumble and have the game played over from that point.

Watch the Saints games weekly.

Apparently if the QB's intent is to throw a forward pass, a ball thrown backwards is not a fumble.


One way to look at it is that Tyler Shough may benefit from the same rule down the road. Even better if it's against the Lions in the playoffs.

But that's when the call will stand as a fumble.

I get it. The no-call from the Rams game still hurts. Saints should have punched it in in OT when they had the chance.

Yeah, now the N.F.L. is saying it's when he starts his throwing motion... not just arm moving forward. Goff was hit before his arm was moving forward.

Why is it arm moving forward for fumble/pass but not for backwards pass (fumble)/pass. The N.F.L. is full of shite.

Doesn’t make any difference, the ball was thrown backwards
