There is another component to intentionally grounding that it has to be realistic chance of completion.  There was no chance as he purposely threw it to the ground 1' away.The exact wording for intentional grounding is that a passer, "facing an imminent loss of yardage because of pressure from the defense, throws a forward pass without a realistic chance of completion."Now that is what AI brought up but I was hoping to read the actual rule.A little common sense needs to prevail here as nobody seeing that would think he was trying to complete that.So I want to add:Duds: the refs.  Not just the intentional grounding thing but:The offsides by the Packers. Pittsburgh can't complain too much because Parsons waited a moment to rush because he assumed an offsides penalty was coming. I dont know how you miss that. Clearly the line judge was doing something other than watch the line of scrimmage.The other biggie is the illegal procedure by the OT for Pittsburgh. I wonder if the refs were thinking it was a TE going in motion? That is another what-were-you-looking-at!???!?! Moment by the refs.</blockquote>
