The one rule in football I hate

Pass interference being a 15 yard penalty instead of a spot foul. A db getting beat on a 50 yard pass play can just tackle the receiver before the ball gets there knowing it will only cost him 15 yards.

They argue for the opposite in the NFL...always wondered why.

With racial comment attached. That was in the victim's testimony. By "boyfriend" do you mean Vandenburg? Thought it was a date not a relationship.

Could be for the reason that a poor/subjective call that goes against the Defense 98%( number out of my ass) of the time giving a team 45-60 yards is hot garbage.

In the NFL games are bland and nobody can score more than 20 points until their Offense clicks(if it ever does) until mid season. They need to find a way to move the ball down the field. They do it by throwing flags.

Still, hard to argue that it's a sham for the DB to bail out of flubbed coverage by tackling the WR...measly 15 yards.

I agree with you on that point.

Being that the call is already subjective though, I'd like to see there be something in place like a 15 yard minimum penalty or half the yardage of the foul as a maximum.

So a 60 yard bomb would be a 30 yard penalty.


On such plays where a WR is tackled(IMO not often) give them the full yardage.

I see mostly hand checking by both players on downfield passes and the offense just walks 55 yards towards the new first down marker after the flag.

they need to change the pass interference rule. If they throw a deep pass down field and its 40 yds and it gets called the ball should be marked where it happened instead of a 15yd penalty.

sorry if its already be mentioned. didn't feel like reading every post

Sure why not, the refs are always right and PI is able to be looked at in review.

Oh wait, it's not. Bad Idea.

Pro Refs barely get it right. Now you want to put in the hands of these buffoon collegiate Refs?

No thanks.

Change overtime to where it's not stupid. Both teams can have the ball, but have it be actual football (with kickoffs and punts and the full field and whatnot) instead of a glorified soccer penalty kick shootout.

Being a former DB, yes, I always sort of liked that rule AND everybody at the hs and collegiate level instructs that, just no way a DB should get beat deep in college or hs IMO.

Yes, from what I read they had went out a few times. I know that's not a lot of time, but apparently she trusted him

Unsportsmanlike conduct for excessive celebration is my favorite. Let the kids celebrate a big play.

Yeah its a stupid rule - it shouldnt be called when players mob the guy, but maybe for a silly dance or some tired NFL gimmick like slam dunking over the goalpost or jumping in the stands -- you see baseball and basketball players celebrate a dunk or HR and there no penalty for that

If I were king for a day I would remove all the pro-offense oriented penalties that have been made over the last 35 years since I played. To me it resembles organized tag out there. Yes I know they claim it is safer but I don't really remember there being that many more injuries. Plus I miss seeing QBs knocked into next year. Just saying.

The refs are going to make the call regardless of what the penalty is so I have no idea what you're talking about.

The offensive team fumbles the football into the end zone and the football goes out of bounds. So what happens? The ball is rewarded to the other team at the 20 yard line. It's so stupid. Why should the defense be awarded possession without actually recovering the football?

If a team fumbles on the 30 yard line, and the ball rolls forward to the 32 yard line and then rolls out of bounds, the offense retains possession at the 30 yard line where the ball was fumbled. The defense has to recover the ball to earn possession on the field, so why does the end zone have to be different? If a player fumbles at the 1 yard line, and the ball rolls into the end zone and out of bounds, the offense should be given possession back for the next down where the ball was fumbled.

Yes, I was thinking about Pig vs. UGA in 2013, and Anderson vs. Bama in 2005.

In College I hate instant replay after the game clock has expired. I.E. North Carolina, LSU.

The college OT is much better than the pro version.

The O shouldn't be fumbling the ball. Usually the fumble is a result of a good defensive play, so I am okay with the rule.

Agree. At the rate it is going, especially with the concussion lawsuits, it will be flag football in 10 years.

If you can't take it, stay off the field.
