NFL VP: Changing PI to 15-yard penalty a possibility

[Dex]

Yeah I do watch college football.

And I have never seen intentional fouling like you see in basketball, which is what you said would happen on page one.

How exactly would you know it was intentional? My god some of you just don't have a clue.

[Cary Kollins]

How about this - they make all penalties challengeable. All of them. That would solve the problem with bad calls right there.

 

 

I think challenging penalties is the next big change coming.

 

 

Too many games are won and lost based on terrible flags.

Um the same way you can tell it's intentional in the NBA.

 

 

Look, I don't really give a crap enough to go back and forth. We agree the college rule is dumb.

 

 

You just made a dumb comparison.

Thank you and goodnight.

not to mention:

 

If the defensive team is behind in the score and commits a foul when it has no time outs left in the final 40 seconds of either half, the offensive team can decline the penalty for the foul and have the time on the clock expire.

There were 15 PI Penalties with under 2:00 minutes remaining in a game. Unsure how many of those changed the outcome of the game.

"Don't you dare touch those precious little WR bastards too far down the field,  if you do it should essentially be an automatic TD from the 1yard line".

 

^that is what I see when I see people supporting how DPI's currently work in the NFL.

 

 

I'm tired of seeing games being decided on penalties that essentially lead to automatic TDs.        If the refs were uniform in their opinions and their reffing styles,  then it wouldn't be so bad..  but they are so damn fickle.  One ref group may allow a physical match-up between db and wr..  another ref group may throw a flag as soon as a db lightly touches a WR.     Another ref group may only see the pi's of one team while ignoring them of other teams.    Some refs seem ignorant to the concept of OPI.

 

This is a good change if it goes through.     It would put some of the flavor back in defenses.  Let them be a little more physical.   a 15 yard penalty for DPI is still 15 yards down the field for an offense and a new set of downs.   Will make offenses have to work harder.

Antoine Cason is gone so we don't have to worry about this anymore. Benjamin has a higher chance of being a recipient of a DPI call than our defense being called for a long one. I can't recall the last time that a DPI affecting any Carolina final scores.

I am not in favor of this at all, but if it were to be approved, I would hope it would go like this.

 

15 Yard Penalty for Pass Interference

After the 2 minute warning, it's a spot foul, but reviewable.

[Mr. Scot]

Worth noting that this is being proposed by Troy Vincent.

 

For those who don't remember Vincent as a player, you might wanna take a moment to look up what position he played.

[Jangler]

was he a kicker?

Considering the position he played, I can understand finally having one advocate on the rules committee that isn't kicking around that particular position anymore.
