Watching games this week, I still cannot determine how Miami is regularly called for intentional grounding yet I rarely see this for others.

I know of two called against Miami, one specifically with the Jets where the ball landed a couple yards from the running back. Another where Tua threw the ball down field and the threw a flag.

I almost never see it thrown against other teams regardless of where a player is located.
 
The one game we got charged was ridiculous. It landed behind the TE well within 5 yards. It doesn’t matter if his back is turned or not yet somehow we caught the penalty. Otherwise I haven’t noticed anything crazy. .

Dude. Josh Alan literally threw it at his OT’s feet, hit him in the leg, there wasn’t a receiver around, he wasn’t out of the pocket, and it wasn’t called. This was a key call that could’ve changed the game as it likely would’ve ended that drive which they ended up scoring on.
 
The rules for what constitutes intentional grounding are really clear. It boggles my mind that this call was missed.
lol there wasn't even a receiver nearby, all lineman, and he was clearly strait back in the pocket..

it was a clear miss, and huge non penalty..thats loss of yardage and down
 
It was not a missed per say, it was intentionally not called as the referees huddled to discuss what had just transpired. They decided that it was not the time nor place for such call against such team, and that was that.

Yeah that was grounding all the way. No receiver anywhere near
