If Obama wasn't so busy playing golf 50+ days out of the year he would look into this.
From admitted Patriots lover, Peter King's MMQB:

Evidently, the Jets are the first team in NFL history to benefit from a PI call.
The Jets won fair and square in Denver. Safety Renaldo Hill interfered with Santonio Holmes, slightly grabbing his facemask accidentally and affecting Holmes' ability to follow the flight of a pass late in the fourth quarter. Denver led 20-17 at the time, trying to defend a fourth-and-six desperation throw from Mark Sanchez to Holmes at the goal line. What did Sanchez and the Jets have to lose? There aren't any gimme fourth-and-six conversion plays in the playbook, and the Jets clearly figured if they flooded the secondary and tried to get it to the athletic Holmes, maybe he'd have single-coverage and could win a battle for the ball ... or he'd get interfered with, and New York would get a gift. Either way was fine. And when Hill contacted Holmes and tugged at the facemask, that was interference. A 46-yard interference call. The Jets advanced from the 48 to the two on a wing and a prayer.
Stupid. Yes, it was interference. No, it was not worthy of a 46-yard gift. For years, this had been the dumbest rule in the NFL book. Sunday was exhibit A for making interference at most a 15-yard penalty from the line of scrimmage -- not placed at the spot of the foul.
Thoughts?

Good example of why I don't post here.
You keep saying "you don't post here" yet here you are.....

If you paid attention to the Jets or the NFL in 2007, you'd know Peter King was incredibly critical of the Patriots for a long time. Just because he doesn't agree with the Moss/Brady HairGate incident doesn't mean he's some Patriots lover.
got bandwagon Jets fan reads one article on Sanchez Licker.com and thinks he knows which media members favor the Pats.
Maybe the liberals could quit wasting trillions on pointless job "stimulus" packages and put their efforts towards more pressing matters like the need to make the pass interference rule be a 15 yard max penalty this country would be in better shape.
But seriously, no it shouldn't.
Then GTFO imo. You think you'll be missed or wtf?
@ trying to hold your presence or lack there of over us.
tbh yeah 15 yards is better than the current ruling.
But still,
TBH 15 yards is horrible. Incoming pass interference plays on purpose to stop long bombs.
PI is fine as is.
so incidental contact flagged as PI which puts the ball at the 1 yard line is better?
Changing the rule won't make officials call it better.
At least then, when officials completely things up, it's only a 15 yard penalty, and not a guaranteed TD to one team.
Let's see how you feel if it's week 17 and the Texans need a win to get into the playoffs and they get flagged for a bull PI call with 5 seconds to go, and then Vince Young trucks Mario Williams for the 1 yard game winning TD run.
But still,
Search google images for patriots homer.
I kindof agree that getting the ball at the spot of the interference is too much of a gift.
search google images for jets skinny and guess who shows up
I'll feel like whatever dumb ass committed the penalty screwed the team, not the rule.
I thought you don't post here.
crofl DarrinS went and hid back in the political forum
They should just make it reviewable.
The NFL should NEVER make flags a reviewable play
Enjoy your five and a half hour games if that ever happens
PI is a good rule that is just not called right. Some refs are still calling it like face guarding even though it isn't a rule anymore. Some even call incidental contact like a PI.
Making it a 15 yards penalty would allow defensive backs to just tackle the receiver to avoid a bigger gain.
I think they should make an exception and make this penalty reviewable. It changes the course of the game, so the refs should have another look at it before confirming the call. Players nowadays are so fast that it's harder to call it right.
Btw, it's true Peter King has admitted himself for liking the pats. However he's been critical of the pats when it was needed that I don't think he can be labeled a pats homer.
I think the same thing. However this penalty should be the exception not the rule
