Anyone else ever see grounding called on a miscommunication pass?

@arlingtonbell - Outrageous that you would penalize a defender for attempting a clean tackle. And you actually officiate games? God help the teams.

Clean?

What league *wouldn't* flag this as a penalty???

He once called holding on my high school alma mater.

And i told that Lineman that he got the holding call"That was for Spike!!!!" He was a bit confused

Just because he grabbed the guy and threw him to the ground? In a different sport you might have awarded him 2 points. That really would have confused him.

I should have done that but i was a much younger official then i will see if I can reward kids for the creativity of the take down block going forward, good thinking!

I loved the hang time on your penalty flags

This thread needs to die. @ShreveFrog and @arlingtonbell are 2 of my favorite KFC people both on here and in real life. They should be friends. This play did not cost us the game.

Nope because Kell should have banged that field goal in following the penalty and some coaching decisions on offense left enough points off the board to win the game.

Then the current interpretation of the rule needs to be examined. It should not be intentional grounding (hey, there’s that word “intent”) or grounding when the quarterback is clearly trying to complete a pass.
