A poster above really hit was his best option was, throw it to the feet of the guy on the outside left of the line, he's an elligible receiver, and as long as there's a snowballs chance in hell a pass could be caught they'll never call it intentional grounding.

It should still be grounding, because the ball has to make it to the line of scrimmage. But that's also supposed to go for QB's outside of the pocket, and it isn't always called.

I say grounding, phooey. Spike the ball! Let it be grounding. At least the clock stops, and Collins gets a shot at the endzone.

But I prefer to credit Shockey for the loss. When he dropped those four points in the end zone, he dropped the game.

But what do I care: they had very little chance of making it to Philly in any case. My Iggles will just have to beat Tampa Bay again.

Problem is screen passes, a lot of screens aren't actually to guys across the line of scrimage, but for purposes of dropped balls they're still considered passes (so play is dead when the ball hits the ground, rather than it beinga fumble and a live ball). So any that would be considered a pass if only it had been caught, is considered a pass if it's not caught, and therefore not intential grounding. I think the refs are FAR too friendly with judging a pass "catchable" when it comes to grounding. Of course if I were king there would be no throwing it away, inside or outside the tightend box I don't care, throw it too somebody or suffer the consequences.
