Spot foul is the logical answer

Adebo should play better coverage

This loss is on us, not a long established professional rule


If the Saints had gotten the spot foul on offense, this would be a great rule. But it's a dumb rule because the Saints lost.

I think I just summed up this thread perfectly.

The PI spot foul was made so they could control games more in this fixed league

I’m sure the prestigious and integrity filled sport of college football has never considered such a thing

It’s easier for the refs to rig games!

A personal foul is 15 years, no penalty should exceed 15 yards but it’s the NFL and it’s a shite product these days.

No, you’re incorrect. I’ve always thought it was a dumb rule. I’m glad on the rare occasions that it happens in our favor but I still hate the rule.

Shocking

Yeah just because CFB has inferior players/coaches doesn't mean it wouldn't happen in the NFL.

The NFL would 100% coach that. Why wouldn't they? It makes negative sense not to.

It’s been the rule in CFB since forever. Why hasn’t any coach ever taught it? Just because?

The yardage given up in a spot foul is a deterrent

The foul we committed that lost us the game was an awful, desperate attempt to prevent a catch that would have garnered the same yardage gained as the penalty we committed

It makes sense. It just doesn’t feel good right now.

Because 15 yd penalties add up quick. Next thing you know the opposing team is on the goal line ready to score because you thought it was a good idea to tackle every deep ball receiver.

Now this I do agree with. It was a terrible play and 100% a penalty.

I agree that doing it every deep ball is a bad strategy

Doing it to prevent a TD is a no brainer

Doing it to prevent a TD and/or exchange a 60 yard gain for a 15 yard gain is common sense

Today it was a 100% correct call. And it should be a spot foul as offense would have the ball there after a completion.

McNeese is the standard of this. They will wind up in a bench clearing brawl before the season is done. Mark my words.

Without the DPI they make that play.
Without a facemask or horsecollar, the runner scores a touchdown. Why assume one but not the other?

Those are safety-related fouls

Without defensive holding, the receiver gets open and scores a touchdown.

Without offsides, the lineman makes that block and the running back goes 50 yards for a touchdown.

How about bringing back the challenge of PI they used it for 1 YEAR and ditched it. That show you the NFL care less about getting it right. A rule that can shift any game with 10-60 yards penalty should be reviewed. But no thats too right for a corrupt league. Just watch for entertainment purpose only and move on with your day afterwards.


Wouldn’t have affected this one today, it was an easy call. The spot foul is the issue.
