From the Post tonight:

"Pereira said it has been suggested to him that Plummer should have received an intentional-grounding penalty if the play indeed was an incomplete pass. But, according to Pereira, it wasn't intentional grounding because Plummer lost the ball inadvertently, not intentionally."

Did you hear that? So, if a quarterback is about to get sacked in between the tackles "box" and he doesn't want to get flagged for intional grounding, all he has to do is flub a pass and it won't be considered. Absolutely ridiculous logic.

Incomprehensible. If Plummer "loses" control of the ball it's a tuck, and the ball is marked at the original line of scrimmage?

How does a QB ever fumble, given that rule? Grrrrrr
