Pass Interference Penalties
Posted on 2/24/18 at 8:19 pm

This penalty is a potential game changer and teams now seem to be relying on it in critical situations. I’d like this penalty to be reviewable and something that can be challenged.

The only resolution is to change the PI to a 10 or 15 yd penalty (automatic 1st down) instead of a spot foul.

It’s the worst rule in sports. It should be like the college rule.

As it should be. A potential 50+ yard penalty based on one person’s (often inept) judgment is far too much. I’m all for players deciding games and not officials. It works in college, it’d work in the league

While I know it would slow the game down too much, some of these penalties really need to be reviewable OR refs need to start being fined or fired for making terrible calls.

It should absolutely only be 15 yards. No team should ever get a free 40-60 yard play regardless of the situation.
The argument that DBs would start just rocking WRs left and right because it's "only" 15 yards is ludicrous. You don't see that in college. You're still giving away a first down and likely at least getting a team into or very close to FG range.

Yep, Mike Pereira agrees with you. He said it a couple of times on broadcasts this year. (He's the Fox Analyst that is the former head of NFL Referees.)

Damn. That means the rule is here to stay. Pereira is never right

A skilled WR can draw a DPI on-demand. The enforcement of the rule is broken.

Needs to be 15 yards and not a spot foul...

Possibly make it a 2 tier penalty like running into or roughing the kicker/punter. A "normal" PI call would be 15 yards. A "spot foul" would still exist but would require a booth review.

If it's a 15 yard penalty, a DB would interfere every time he's in a compromised position downfield. Don't give me a "that doesn't happen in college" argument. NFL players are 100x more savvy than college players. They'd figure it out and game the system.
Making PI reviewable seems like a logical solution to the current problem IMO.

can you imagine what'd be like to stop play almost everytime a WR and a DB got tangled up jockeying for position to make a play on the ball? Does the tie go to the WR if the ball is catchable? That'd be ironic since the catch rule itself is so volatile these days.

in a two minute drill before the half or late in the 4th quarter I guess it still comes down to situational football. What if the opponent only needed a FG to win the game and the DB's interference penalty would set up the kicker at a reasonable range? I know the old saying on defense is " Make'em run another play" but even if that play can be reviewed, you are still playing with fire at times.
it sounds nice but I could see the league totally fricking it up and leaving viewers more flabbergasted by the week.

They should make it like flagrant fouls in the NBA. Normal every day PI is 10-15 yards. Flagrant PI 2 is spot foul and reserved for those plays where DBs bring down a WR who has them beaten for a TD

I kind of understand this, but I get the spirit of a spot call. If you're beat on a long ball and it's going to end up as a TD or big gain, of course I'm going to tackle you and keep it to only 15 yards. The spot foul is a deterrent. I have no issue with that. The main problem IMO is the interpretation of the rule and how often it's called. Leave it as a spot foul but make the infraction more defined. Or give defenders a little more freedom.

I've been a football official for many years, and I've officiated high school, college, and NFL rulebooks (NOTE: I am not an NFL official, I've just officiated leagues that use the NFL rulebook).
In High School, the rule is 15 yards from the previous spot or accept the result of the play. There is an addition to the rule (that is RARELY used - so most people don't know about it) that allows for the official to make a judgement call on a flagrant PI that would tack on an additional 15 yards (making it a 30 yard penalty).
The college rulebook is the one I'm least familiar with, but I think the same rule exists there.
For the NFL, we all know it's a spot foul, but there has been talk about making it a escalating judgement call. PI would be a 15 yard penalty and a flagrant PI would be a spot foul.
In my opinion as an official, having DPI as a spot foul is excessive and unfairly penalizes the defense, since OPI is a 15 yard penalty. I'm in favor of either a 15 yard penalty that can escalate to a 30 or a 15 yard penalty that can escalate to a spot foul.

The Saints have been burned by bad or inconsistent PI calls so much while at the same time rarely benefited from them.
Posted on 2/27/18 at 12:20 pm to Directional Tiger
Totally agree. This is a call that gets made incorrectly very often (both ways) and can have a massive impact on the game. So I'd like to see it made reviewable.

Other than that, I do wish it would be like college and just give 15 yards from LOS. Downvote if I'm right.

Should have been a pick. Matty threw it behind Julio. If Lattimore doesn't interfere, its INT.
