Message: [QUOTE="ForCuseSake, post: 4867166, member: 266"] The pass has to be "in the direction of and lands in the vicinity of an originally eligible receiver." There is no specified distance (3 or 5 yards) stated in the NFL rule. Either it's currently too subjective, or they simply blew the call: [ATTACH type="full"]234122[/ATTACH] Allen was out of the pocket and being dragged down by a horse collar tackle. That should qualify as having "his passing motion significantly affected by physical contact from a defensive player that causes the ball to land short of the line of scrimmage." Common sense says the outcome of that play should've been a Bills first down or offsetting penalties at worst. Bills still had plenty of chances to win after this play but those officials had a bizarro interpretation of how that play unfolded. [/QUOTE]
