Message: [QUOTE="Foordy, post: 3269259, member: 1769"] I sort of agree with this ... when i was growing up the forward pass rule was simple: if the ball travels forward it is a forward pass. to help adjudicate on this rule, the touchies used to run in line with the ball carrier so they were in perfect position to call forward passes. on stronger wind days in meant the players had to adjust their passes to ensure they weren't thrown forward. by either short passes of standing deeper to allow the long cutouts to travel backwards. then as per usual the idiots in charge of the game fucked with a rule that wasn't broken and brought in this backward out of the hand BS, which makes it extremely difficult for the refs to consistently call. not to mention that they decided that the touchies now needed to mark the 10m line (even with 2 fucking refs on the field), so they were no longer in the best position to rule on forward passes.
