On that play, the flag was more the letter of the law then the spirit. it had no

impact on the play. I can see why it is called when it impacts the play but that time and many other times it did not. They usually dont call pass interference when the ball in uncatchable, they shouldnt call ineligable reciever downfield in that case.

They can block in areas that they shouldn't be.

Plus you can confuse the defense on whom to defend.

You can’t have lineman that far downfield on a pass

I know what the penalty is but I’m not sure why it’s a rule

Because you could basically send linemen to tee off on linebackers before guys

8 hour games with scores of 256-197 would be fun...

I see you're passionate about this, so let's just agree to say I'm right

there's a lot of rules that are unnecessary and could be done away with to make the game better

Then you turn something subjective and make 100 times more subjective.

they do that everytime they call pass interference. I dont see the issue.

Then do it on every block in the back on a return and hold on an offensive lineman.

foofcoug

they already do. Holds occur on nearly every play, but refs usually only call it

stlcougs
