Message: [QUOTE="bpo57, post: 4867561, member: 1572"] Allen was so restricted that all he could do was sorta just drop the ball on the ground. Seems like a judgment call. Def don't think a grounding call was way out of line there. Certainly far less egregious than the missed horse collar. FWIW Blandino said it was definitely grounding and also a missed horse collar. Another strange aspect of this play - as explained by Blandino - is that a defender can tackle a QB in the pocket via horse collar and there is no foul as long as the QB not outside the pocket. So that play would have been legal if it were a few yards closer to the middle of the field. Makes no sense. Another strange NFL rule. [/QUOTE]
