Defensive PI is spot of the foul but offensive PI is a standard penalty

this doesn't seem 'fair', shouldn't it be the same both ways

Not spot of the foul for OPI, right ?

I think they should flip a coin on offensive interference. If it is heads, the penalty remains the same as today. If it is tails, it is considered an interception at the point of the foul. This would roughly correlate with the defender's ability to pick off the ball.

Also, the coin should be shot out of a bazooka-like cannon for complete randomness.

it would never really happened but if an offensive player interfers 40 yards down the line, the penalty should be 40 yards.. so the offensive team goes from 1-10 on the 45 yard line to 2-50 on the 10 yard line.

Offensive PI at the spot of the foul would seem counter productive. We would see a lot more long bombs though... I can't think of a good alternative. If you are suggesting that def PI be a 10 yd penalty then I would expect to see a lot more def PI.

good pointmy thought was that the amount of yards down the field should be assessed in-reverse to the line of scrimageso if the foul happens 25 yards past the line of scrimmage, then on the next play they move the line of scrimmage back 25 yards..

I loved it when Gurden kept saying during the last drive, "Just throw it up in the endzone and hope for a PI"

Ouch! That sure would sting.

Maybe the penalty considers the potential results of the play, but for the violation. In the case of defensive pass interference, the penalty essentially assumes the receiver would have caught the ball. In the case of offensive pass interference, the penalty assumes an incompletion, and tacks on a penalty of 10 yards for the infraction.In a sense, the current system could be said to favor the defense, because it doesn't account for the possibility of any YAC if a catch were made and doesn't award a touchdown for defensive PI in the end zone. For example, last night Tramon Williams was flagged for interference in the end zone, preventing a touchdown, but the Ravens ended up getting no points on the drive when Williams intercepted Flacco two plays later.

I think the Offensive PI penalty should be changed to include the yards plus LOSS OF DOWN.

XFL really missed an opportunity here.

watching some game this past week, there was an offensive pass interference call on a badly under-thrown ball. The receiver pulled the CB down to prevent the easy INT.. the team got assessed a 15 yard penalty which seemed unfair considering the situation.
