re: No PI on Punt pass

Come on just think logically....
How would the gunner know the ball is in air and that it was passed? He is blocking as he is supposed to and not looking back at punt. Don't be stupid.

So what makes wide receiver not a gunner when he is lined up wide on 4th with the quarterback in shotgun?
The rules are sort of vague but equal number of players on either side of the center in "tight" formation and players being split out wide to either side. It being 4th down with Hill more than 7yds off the LOS probably had something to do with it as well but I'm not sure if it's not just situational. Whatever the case, once they line up symmetrically off the snapper on 4th down, the wide outs are considered gunners.

Is it illegal to throw a pass to a “gunner”? Yes or no?

WRONG.
By definition a punt formation is...
Sounds pretty vague to me.

Doesn’t matter, what we can or can’t believe is a obvious punt formation. It has to be defined. So please show where in the rule it is defined as what a punt formation is? You can’t because it’s not there. There is nothing that says you can’t have a QB so many yards behind the line of scrimmage.
I get why the rule is there but the rule is totally insane if you can’t tell me where it says what defined as a punt formation.
It’s a legitimate question.

It's in the NFL rule book. Now, it does not address dept of person receiving the ball but that makes a little sense since some punts are taken less than 10-15 yards behind the LOS (in the endzone for instance). But the formation itself is explicitly defined by rule

Please point to the rule book that says anything about a punt formation other than
There isn’t one.
The above definition sounds like the shotgun formation to me.

Everytime a QB is in a balanced formation with 2 WRs on each side then there can’t be PI, great to know for the rest of the year. It’s a bullshite rule.
And the fact that these idiots on here are defending the NFL and that rule is a joke in itself. Y’all keep siding with the NFL and paying y’all money to get screwed year in and year out. I’m sure they appreciate it.

In this day and age, you really should be able to find this stuff yourself. You can download an actual pdf or simply search/find for punt formations.
The rule is the fricking rule. The only thing I'm defending is good old fashioned reading comprehension.

I did read it. Knowing that this is the actual rule, why not just put someone in the slot and throw to that player? You'd at least have the benefit of being a receiver.

Then who is it in to decided what a punt formation is? If you have 2 wide with the qb in shotgun on 4th down is PI fair game?
The definition is vague.
Would it have been PI if Hill was 2 yards up? 5 yards up?

You’re one dumb frick.
When they put the punter back there , they were lined up in punt formation.
Absolute bag of fricking bricks.

Yes he can. You can’t allow PI there on either side. It would get utterly abused.
