incompletions
Failed forward throws
Incompletions are things left unfinished or not brought to completion.
The word appears most often in American football, where an incompletion is a forward pass that fails to be caught: He threw three incompletions in the final drive.
Outside sports, the term sounds technical or bureaucratic: The form was rejected due to incompletions in the required fields.
