And it was forward Baker was deeper than Hunt and ball went thru Hunts arms I'm digging the new avatar. What was the bet and who was it with?

If it initially moves forward, unless it is a boomerang or it is the wind, it cannot end up backward when Hunt is touching it - which is what appears to happen. The only explanation can be that the camera was moving. It is much better to use the line on the field to make the determination of whether it is moving forward or backward.

As soon as I saw the replay I knew it was coming back. My first two emotions exactly - but now I have watched many times in slow motion and I cant make out at all that the ball is moving forward. I am now more inclined to believe they shoulda let the call stand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the clip you linked, you can't see the ball the instant it leaves his hand. But it looks like the release point is just over the yard line, and the ball hits the ground just at the yard line. If it's a millimeter behind, then it's a backward pass, by definition. How could the officials a be so certain that the ball went forward. Certainly not based on that clip. I will go even further. It has to be a millimeter ahead for it to be a forward pass.Parallel is still a lateral. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
