Pass interference rule change

I hate PI calls period, they're so subjective and the basis for which they're called seem to change play to play.

All I know is we got royally screwed all season with PI calls going against us, and blatant non-calls.

You definitely can't change all PI calls to 15 yards, otherwise corners will be interfering all the time on deep balls, the penalty wouldn't be severe enough.

How are they going to determine what's intentional and what's not?? Refs have a hard enough time as it is now, I think this would only add to the mess that is pass interference.

I dont see them making it a 15 yard rule, because if I was covering randy moss and he had me beat I would just push him to the ground if the risk was only a 15 yard penalty. Having pass interfearence calls forces you to cover a receiver without hitting them, and if you do theres a huge consequence. Two minute drills espesiclly would be so much different, you would tell your players to foul them.

personally i'd justs like them to be challengeable... that's all i'd like to see.

How about making them 15 yarders inside 15 yards and spot fouls down field? I like making them reviewable but if they are reviewable then they should add a challenge to the mix becasue now we're adding a major chunk of plays to the reviewable list and it seems unfiar to make things reviweable but only allow teams the same amount of reviews a game. If they want the game to be decided by the players they should give more reviews. I like having 2 but make a caveat that you get a minimum of the two. If you don't get one over turned then you can continue to challenge until you do. That makes teams ensure that the call was incorrect. Inconclusive should not count as an overturn. Teams shouldn't suffer because the camera has a bad angle.

I honestly feel if the ball is thrown 40 yards down field and the WR is interferred with then the ball should be spotted at the foul. It justs makes sense. But make them reviewable to ensure the moron officials don't continue to have too much sway.

just let teams throw a red flag, that's it ;) keep it simple.

I THINK that the WR should be 40% liable for interference and the DB 60%. I only give the benefit of the doubt to the WR because they have a right to catch the ball since they are on offense, but come on, how many offensive interference penalties did we see last year?

That is a good point...they never call offensive PI unless the WR bends the DB over and has his way with him. There should be no distinction between the two when a ball is in there air yet clearly the officials in their infinite wisdom have somehow decided to almost never call it on WRs. Mind blowing really.

AND it seems like to be a "good WR" you have to be able to get separation and more often than not, that separation comes from pushing off or doing something else that should warrant an offensive PI call.

The refs use their judgment in 5 vs 15 yard facemask penalties. Obviously, that's not as important in a game as PI, but there is a precedent. I hate the spot of foul rule because it often is the difference in games--I was at the Dallas game in week three and that was utter BS. But you're right about taking down WRs just to save TDs--so maybe the intentional/unintentional thing is the way to go. It puts a lot in the refs hands, but of course, they already have the game in their hands, and this gives them some flexibility on the tough calls. (I doubt it will be changed, given the "open offense" trend...)
