ask and receive.

 

I mean to me the MNF commentators are wrong. It's a classic grounding. Yes there's a receiver 20 yards down the field that you can construe as an intended receiver. Literally pretty much every grounding situation ever involves pressure that affects a throw. If you're going to just assume that the throw gets there without the pressure then it kind of defeats the purpose of the rule.

 

Yeah, I don't get the "he meant to throw it way downfield". So what? He didn't. the ref's job isn't to determine intent. By rule what occurred was intentional grounding.

 

Yeah, I agree with you both. I’ve literally never heard anything other than did it make it past the line of scrimmage/outside the tackle box. Never anything about ‘intent’.

Honestly a street free agent would be better. Why is he even in the league?

I can’t really blame Lancaster. He’s a UDFA playing on reasonable 1-year contracts. It’s not his fault they haven’t found someone better. Dean Lowry’s situation is far more aggravating.

Sure if he was getting 8 snaps a game but he's out there a ton.

Do they Lions know a) how much time is left and b) that they have three timeouts?
