How in the hell is that not grounding?

Pass went two feet (sideways).

nm ref got his head out of his *** finally.

Dumb question: what's the real penalty for intentional grounding?
Isn't it already going to be a loss of down?

Yeah but its at the point of the grounding, not the line of scrimmage. In some cases its a big deal, in some it's not that big of a deal. Basically rewards the defense for the sack.
