I have heard so many people getting this rule wrong. I'll give you an example to illustrate: on holding, you redo the down and you lose 10 yards. For intentional grounding, you lose 10 yards and do not redo the down. So if Alex had taken a sack, that down would be lost anyway. And that sack would've been 8 yards instead of the 10 yards. So that play cost us 2 yards. It was 2nd and 7 then if he took the sack, it would've been 3rd and 15; instead, it was 3rd and 17. If the refs miss that call, it would've been 3rd and 7, better than 3rd and 15. So at that point Alex had to throw the ball.
If he had gotten out of the pocket and threw the ball away we would still lose that down. So I guess you could say we lost 10 yards. I don't think he had any time to get out of the pocket. But people keep saying that we lost a down and 10 yards. Learn the rules people.
