What does Bubble Screen Mean?
An offensive play in which an eligible receiver lines up on the wide side of the field and cuts quickly towards the quarterback immediately after the snap to receive a pass. The offense will attempt to get a series of blockers out in front of the receiver so that the player can gain yards after the catch. The bubble screen is considered a quick hit play, and is used to get the ball in the hands of a quick player as fast as possible.

At this site they insert a video of several pass plays by Oregon. Problem is...the receiver is floating away from the QB, not toward him. Not a single example resembles what is described above
hmmmm...

Foval needs to school me with more film and insults. If he holds up his end I can be educated and entertained at the same time.

OK, for everyone who knows the game, what is the name of this crazy play? This actually happened at an Iowa high school football game.

it was on a 2pt conversion, so he really had nothing to lose and just tossed it up.

No one on here can tell you the name of that play because none of us have learned the game.

Ehh not really - you can call it whatever you want it - all that matters is how you execute the play.
Basically in football there are 50 names for the same play.
What's funny is how the op (and you evidently) are trying to ascertain that really knowledgeable football fans know the difference in the intricacy of what such plays are called.
Which immediately discredits both of you because football plays can be called anything.
In high school we had a WR screen play - It was called flanker gate...
You guys are funny though you ol experts you.

I disagree with the OP on one item. The fact that kids get a chance to play at a young age, develop a sense of hard work, team play, accountability and still have fun, it doesn't matter if they learn correct terminology, technique or skill. Now, junior high, they should be learning basic fundamentals, and run the EXACT same playbook that the varsity team runs. Learn the same alignments, schemes, techniques, etc. But, let them, let the coaches have fun in little league lol
Is it a dog or a blitz that craps in my yard?
Where did you find that definition, because it is completely wrong. Bubble screens do not have to be to the wide side of the field and the receiver 'bubbles' away from the QB, not towards him. If the receiver is working towards the QB, it is a tunnel or jailbreak screen. I think you already knew that.....

So what is the differences between a flanker, a wing, and a slot? There are differences that are universally understood in the football world.......

Flanker, wing and slot are all technically backs. They don't line up on the Line of scrimmage. They play either side left/right, strong or weak side.
Flanker is a wide receiver.I think they call that the X or Y receiver or maybe Z now days.
The slot lines up inside a tight end. And if it moves a bit back or inside it's an "H Back"
Wing lines up outside the tight end. Sometimes that player is dubed a 3rd tight end when lined up very close to the TE.
.
Now days they dub the receivers as X, Y and Z, just not sure what is what
