4th and 15 is too easy. It should be 4th and 20 and no "automatic first down" penalties save for outright pass interference or personal fouls.

Which are a dime a dozen in the NFL these days.

Hopefully, the refs and league would treat this 4th and 15 desperate attempt as they do Hail Mary's and not flag people for breathing on the opponent.

It would have to be...fine, you want 4th and 15...go for it, but we're swallowing our whistles. Otherwise fans would just go apeshite over teams getting 1st downs over more bullshite P.I.s. This potential rule just screams of rigging.
