i have Moss on my fantasy team - and am a broncos fan. what a play. i gotta laugh out of this: on nfl.com they call it a 59-yard moe williams td and the clueless guys at yahoo call it a moss 50-yard td. when all is said and done - it will be about a 15-yard moe td.
100% disagree with BGo - it was a clean td!
wonder how many first half bets were won/lost on that one play!

Moss went backward 3 to 4 yards after catching the ball before lateraling. At what point should it be called forward motion? Seven yards, eight yards?<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
as i said - i am a diehard broncos' fan - but what moss did was NOT illegal. you can back up as far as you want - as long as the "pass" is behind you - it is 100% legal.

I see where you're coming from winky. Yes, the lateral was 100% legal since it was passed backward. We both agree.
My point is that when a player is pushed back 3 or 4 yards he should be called down due to forward progress. Once he has been called down, if he throws a legal lateral the ball is still down at the point that forward motion is called and cannot be advanced by another player.
