At least that's the best plausible idea I can come up with for what the ref thought he saw.

I cannot for the life of me think of one plausible thing Triplette could have thought he saw on that play. It was too fast. Did he not see the ball come out? Why not just call in the grasp then? I've never seen forward progress called in that spot when a QB is in the pocket and not running. It makes zero sense.

I think these refs at at least owe us a tersely-worded statement when they make a completely unexplainable call like that.

Edit: ok well google is my friend. Bullshit.
Thus Tripplett retiring immediately after the game before he got fired.
