I guess it was second and thirty-one. My bad! It was obviously an inadvertent fumble. There's no disputing that part. He was obviously going to pass the football and like it or not there WAS in fact a player in relative close proximity. And it seems obvious to ME he intentional grounded it.Goddam you are stupid.
#1 - It was NOT intentional grounding. QB had no control of the ball when it came out of his hand.
<---- 1This is where he let go of the ball, moron.![]()
#2 - NO - YOU ARE COMPLETELY WRONG.

The ball is above AND behind his throwing arm.... HE LOST CONTROL of the ball. Moron.

The other angle showing the ball flying off to the side and behind him. NO FORWARD PASS and certainly not intentional. I WIN.
#3 - None of the other bullshit you posted was even applicable. YOU ARE COMPLETELY WRONG. So shut the fuck up and take your loss like a man, instead of a petulant child who cannot accept facts. At this point you only make yourself look like an IDIOT.
One last angle that shows the ball flying backwards after it was knocked out of Garret's hand.

Ball is recovered on approximately 2.5 yard line way behind the QB. Line of scrimmage was on the 17th yard line.

By the way there IS a rule prohibiting stacking the line of scrimmage but I was WRONG they only had six on the line.
The correct call is intentional grounding. It doesn't matter where the ball lands. Backwards was a consequence of the trajectory of the football. I guess you could make the claim since it WAS a forward pass attempt (and indeed it WAS) that it landed BEHIND it might count as a lateral. But there wasn't any player in close proximity to recover. And intentional grounding means the ball is dead. It might still be recoverable.
I might have to look into that part. I kinda doubt it, though. The whole reason of intentional grounding is to negate recovery of the football. But I'm willing to give you the benefit if the doubt. It did land behind him. But any pass thrown into the ground is behind the line of scrimmage. Anyway, it's a moot point. I do think the correct call is Intentional grounding. Loss of down. If it had been fourth down instead of first, game over! Unfortunately for you it was first down.
