Because the kick was already coming from the outside of their kickers range (he'd already missed one from 1 yard further out). Taking the tackle moves everything back 7 or so yards. Throwing an incomplete pass out of bound while inside "the box" is intentional grounding. 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. Also not running around like an idiot and hoovering up clock would have been a good idea. No matter how you slice it he did the absolute wrong thing in that circumstance.

That's what happens when you have to constantly shuffle in new snappers and kickers. Personally I'd love to see the kicking game removed from football. There's nothing worse than 300-pound warriors going at it for 59 minutes, only to have the game decided by some little foreigner who comes on the field saying, "I'm gonna kick a touchdown."

Would anyone here agree with me that one of the mistakes the New Jersey Dwarfs made was have a punter take the snap vice having the back-up QB. Do punters know who to throw to? Back up QB's should know.

It still would have been a 48 yard kick and a chance to win.

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.
