With rules favouring the offenses so heavily in the NFL, I believe that the intentional grounding penalty should come with an additional loss of down.

Meaning say it’s 3rd and 10, QB doesn’t get out of pocket, ball doesn’t get to line of drum mags, no receiver etc etc and he throws it away, i think it should be a dead spot foul, but the ball is now turned over to the opposing team. The 4th down should be nullified.

I think the defense should be rewarded for great coverage with additional pressure.

    …what?

    Like, the loss of down is to “replace” the sack that was lost by the grounding.

    I dont even understand how losing an entirely unrelated down makes sense…

    Something a little more subtle I’ve thought would be interesting was if the quarterback had to land the ball in the field of play on a throwaway.

    No, that’s dumb.

    It should simply be changed so that it counts as intentional grounding even outside the pocket.

    Too many QBs scramble outside the pocket, face an imminent loss of yards, then just chuck it so far over heads and out of bounds. It’s ridiculous. Why is this allowed?

    Rule change proposal: every time the Eagles do the tush push, one of their linemen is imprisoned for a minimum of five years. Kelce first. This will promote parity or something

    I disagree, but i support adding a 5 yard penalty from the spot of the foul to make it worse than taking the sack

    I support this so a player can intentionally ground it on 3rd or 4th down to trigger 5th or 6th down.

    If they got the ball and threw it out the sideline instead of spiking it would it still be 2 downs?

    If you don’t want to see the glue for most teams go down with injuries then you should want to see intentional grounding eliminated. To balance that out allow defense contact ONCE within ten yards from the line of scrimmage and make PI a 15 yard penalty instead of the spot of foul.

    No guys he’s onto something, there should be a firing squad with drum mags that shoot and kill you if you commit intentional grounding.

    They do get rewarded… with what amounts to a sack… which usually was “about” to happen had the Qb not thrown the ball away…

    some defensive penalties are automatic 1st downs, it only makes sense to make some offensive penalties automatic 4th downs
