    FYI: The lateral that @DangeRussWilson threw to @MikeDavisRB in Sunday’s @Seahawks @Eagles game was a legit “Galilean Transformation”. In their reference frame, the ball went backwards. It’s not their fault they ran forward faster than the ball.pic.twitter.com/DHUKNtlcyj

        Right, but the NFL rule defines a forward pass as one that moves closer to the other team's goalline while in the air. Ball was released at the SEA 47 and caught at SEA 48.

        Uh yeah, in other words nobody gives a hoot about "their" reference frame. The only reference frame that matters for game purposes is the gridiron.

        Then we would have won by 1TD, instead of 2.

        I moved the frame so there is no camera movement. He released the ball a yard earlier. I am only looking at the ball, not their bodies. Maybe I do not understand, but the ball advancing a yard seems to say it all.

        All that matters is that by football rule the play was illegal.

        I understand that I’m physics because he was moving the ball didn’t travel forward, but that is irrelevant in football because of the nfl’s rules.

        noone was arguing that in any way shape or form. He was stating it was a perfect example of a physics principle. He was trying to use it as a teaching moment.

        I know and I think that’s awesome, but a lot of people are saying that makes it a legal play in the comments. They are misinterpreting what he is saying. Sorry, I thought you were arguing it was legal too.
