By definition.
You can't legally stop a clock that isn't running.

By definition, intentional grounding has very specific things mentioned in the rule. If they would have called delay of game or something like that I'd get it, but based on the rules written how they are, I don't see how you can call intentional grounding.
The clock was running when the ball was spiked. Because of that, the spike was made to save time. The rules need to have something specific saying it would be intentional grounding to spike the ball if the clock is stopped before the snap. Without that, the NFL is making shit up with interpretations of the rules that are not specific enough.
