Guys, Eli drew the flag at the end on third down to help ice the game.
You guys want to jump on him when he lays out to try to catch a ball. It's not like he was wide open and Ben just misses him like he did with DHB.

My Whine, *****, & Moan is JUJU et al should have celebrated differently....
Maybe take a pretend hit off a a "Blunt" (pun intended), then put a pacifier in his mouth, cry like a baby, throw a temper tantrum & fall to the ground kicking & screaming.....
Then have Le'Veon & AB put him in "Time-Out"

My gripe is with NBC. Why do they have to show that STUPID ******* "Dungy Coaching Tree" in EVERY primetime Steelers game? That jumped the shark years ago.
The officiating especially downfield reeked. They allowed offensive and defensive pass interference on plays. I'm still wondering how Stafford got away with not being called for intentional grounding?
Yep, Hunter on that ball that popped up, the db was holding his right arm and Hunter could only use one arm to attempt to make a catch

I hate 3-3-5. Teams run all over me on Madden when I use it expecting pass.

If it is the play I am thinking of, the ball hit the defender in the arm before the ball hit the ground. Not intentional grounding at that point.

That is it. Seems like every QB ought to be just throwing it trying to hit the defender's feet/legs as they are rushing in. It makes sense if the defender jumps up and tips the ball, but what happened there ought to be the very definition of intentional grounding,

No doubt he was trying to throw it in the dirt. Spiking the ball to stop the clock is, by definition, intentional grounding. Thinking they ought to start calling that.

I was wrong. NFL rule book states......
"Intentional grounding will be called when a passer, facing an imminent loss of yardage due to pressure from the defense, throws a forward pass without a realistic chance of completion."
So without the imminent loss of yardage due to pressure from the defense, there can be no intentional grounding on clock plays.
The rule allows for intentional grounding if you immediately throw the ball into the turf after a snap to stop the clock.
also if you are outside the "Pocket"
I prefer this to calling every a flag on every pass. Make em earn it.
When teams have intentionally adopted the plan to throw balls short or back shoulder to draw flags it had gone too far.
A defender can have perfect position for the route run, and then receive a penalty for that technique when a qb either intentionally or unintentionally throws a short pass.
