...still a football. If it's not caught, its an incomplete pass. If its thrown and hits the ground behind the line of scrimmage, its a grounded ball, which is a penalty.
No! A pass is only legal if it is thrown from behind the line of scrimmage. A pass is illegal if it is thrown from in front of the line of scrimmage.
A legal pass is anypass that is thrown from behind the line of scrimmage...the imaginary line across the field where the play began...A player may pitch the ball backward at anytime while beyond the line of scrimmage. Any ball thrown forward beyond the LOS is an illegal pass.
A pass--if caught then it's a completion and if it's dropped then an incompletion.

it is not legal to drop kick beyond the line of scrimmage. all you can do beyond the line of scrimmage is pitch the ball backwards.
A block down field beyond the line of scrimmage
When the ball is thrown forward over the line of scrimmage. This is allowed only once per play.
Line of scrimmage.
its sort of the invisible line where the quarterback throws the ball, and once the ball is thrown the QB cant run forward. :) I think

A passing yard is the distance a football is thrown from the line of scrimmage to where it is caught by a receiver. It is calculated by measuring the distance between these two points in yards.
Encroachment in football occurs when a defensive player crosses the line of scrimmage before the ball is snapped, resulting in a penalty. Offsides, on the other hand, is when an offensive player is beyond the line of scrimmage when the ball is snapped, also resulting in a penalty.
