That's the confusing part. As soon as the ball is snapped, the clock is running, therefore you can spike the ball

Mahomes met all the printed stipulations for a legal spike. He avoided all of the printed stipulations for intentional grounding.

If the clock isn't running...then it's an intentional grounding, because, as the clock was already stopped due to the previous penalty, there was no running clock to stop. Which would then make it intenational grounding. Pretty cut and dried.

That's not in the rulebook. There is no "spike" section in intentional grounding. Rules aren't open to "interpretation" they are ironclad. At the VERY LEAST a QB has to be under pressure for grounding to be called. IT'S IN THE RULEBOOK

"player under center is permitted to stop the game clock legally to save time" If the clock isn't running, then therefore the player is not legally stopping the clock to save time; e.g. intentional grounding is the correct call.

Nowhere does it say "clock must be running BEFORE the snap." Again, I will say READ THE RULES. What defines a spike? Stipulation met. What defense intentional grounding? Stipulations avoided. There's no other section of rules to consider except fantasy fat ref land rules.

It's Per item 3: "player under center is permitted to stop the game clock legally to save time" Because if the clock isn't running before the play, then you're not saving any time by spiking the ball, correct? Which, by definition of the rules, means it's not a legal spike. Why did he spike the ball? What strategic purpose did that serve?? The clock wasn't running and the 25 second clock hadn't even started yet; take your time, call a play at the line, an RPO, PLENTY of time... The spike did not save time, as the clock wasn't running. Since the rules state that you can ONLY spike the ball TO SAVE TIME ON THE GAMECLOCK, he committed intentional grounding. Per the rules in item 3. Per item 3: "player under center is permitted to stop the game clock legally to save time" If the clock isn't running, then therefore the player is not legally stopping the clock to save time; e.g. intentional grounding is the correct call. Otherwise, ANY incomplete/intentional grounding was "done to stop the clock, ref!"

The only reason to spike the ball is if the clock is running... Right? So...therefore, the ONLY time a spike would be valid would be when it's permitted to stop a running clock. The clock was stopped after the penalty. Mahomes may have actually committed intentional grounding, it's just that the refs AND the announcers didn't quite know how to explain WHY...

The spike play is ONLY to be used to stop the clock. If it's not used to stop a running clock, it's then intentional grounding, no matter what. According to the rules. The clock was stopped. You CAN'T spike the ball if the clock is stopped. According to the rules. The pressure part never came into play because the clock was not going to start until the ball was snapped. He should've ran a ****ing play. According to me. Classic Andy ****ing Reid clock management, Full Reidtard gonna get us killed in the playoffs.

The Browns got a penalty to stop the clock on the previous play. The spike by Mahomes was not to prevent time from running off the clock, BECAUSE THE CLOCK WAS NOT RUNNING. The clock has to be running in order to line up and spike the ball to save time. It's in black and white, Line 3.

But even so, the barest minimum stipulation for intentional grounding isn't met. YOU CANNOT FLAG A QUARTERBACK FOR INTENTIONAL GROUNDING IF HE IS NOT UNDER PRESSURE. END. OF. STORY.

Where does it then say an intentional grounding penalty is then to be levied? Cite the section of the rulebook. Show me. You're just making shit up that literally IS NOT IN THE RULEBOOK. Just like that fat moron ref.
