I saw at least two occasions where Garcia was wrapped up (in the grasp) and then he "intentionally grounded" the ball into the turf and he was still in the pocket and there was no receiver in sight.

What's up with this?:bang2:

Intentional grounding should mean EXACTLY what it states.

I saw them too though it wasn't exactly "no receiver in sight" as you put it. It could have been called, but I wasn't excessively upset like I was I believe against the Cardinals?? where I believe Warner threw it at the feet of our own player when his player was several yards behind our player.

There were recievers near where he threw the ball. Not grounding.

The only problem I have with the intentional grounding rule is that a player who has the QB wrapped up doesn't get a sack when he does it.

I didn't see any bad calls with that yesterday.
