[QUOTE="Pokerbrat2000, post: 763669, member: 7261"] Defensive pass interference always results in the ball being marked at the spot of the infraction (except endzone), it assumes possession would have been made, yet we never know if the play ever would have been completed. Just because it appears offensive pass interference rarely prevents an interception, it shouldn't cancel out the fact that it can and probably at times does. Same penalty on opposite sides of the ball, different results. If people don't like the way it's done in college (15 yd PI penalty), would they be open to "on passes greater than 30 yds, where PI is called, the penalty equals 1/2 the distance between the line of scrimmage and the spot of the foul."? It is funny how defensive PI results in the ball being placed at the spot of the foul, yet not in the endzone. Doesn't the penalty assume the ball would have been caught? A safety is called if a QB is in the endzone and there is offensive holding or intentional grounding, both scenarios award points based on assumptions of what might have happened. [/QUOTE]
