Play 1 was called intentional grounding when there is clearly a receiver in the area. Play 2 was not called intentional grounding when there is no receiver anywhere in sight
@greenforlife6@b_rye_34 They're making a subjective judgment on whether the pass landed within the "vicinity". There's no fixed radius to definitively define that. Anyone who's watched thousands of games would consider that Kraft was in the vicinity because that's the way it's always been called
@RobStrittmatter Watch all the games and i promise that the next time you see the QB out of the pocket and the ball landing short of the LOS with a receiver that close, there wont be a flag
