Ball has to cross original LOS - no way that punter is making that toss.

Only when it's outside the tackle box, right. QB's thrown the ball down behind the LOS, but in the general direction of RB's on blown up screens without getting a grounding flag all the time.
 
That's how I understand the rule, but doubt it would have mattered on that play because I don't think there was an eligible receiver anywhere near the punter.

not crossing the LOS is only okay if a receiver is nearby (e.g. screen) - no way that applies in this case.

smart move was to head for the endzone and take a safety. worked out that way but a pass from the punter would have been intentional grounding with ball being awarded at the point of the pass.
 
Lol @ the dude trying to act tough with the late hit, falling and getting his helmet getting ripped off.
