Pass interference is my biggest issue. Would definitely top my list. Not just the whole no-call debacle. It's just too subjective while being the most game-changing penalty there is. That penalty can pretty much go as far as a QB can throw. I think a paneled review on a challenge is still a good option. But I wouldn't even mind maxing the penalty yards (like college) even if defenses could cheese it.

I think pass interference that occurs on the opponent's side of the 50 should be spotted at mid field with an automatic 1st down, otherwise it should be a spot file.The NFL doesn't want to stop the spot foul rule for PI because defenders will interfere with the receivers more often, especially on deep pass plays, thus avoiding a big gain.
See also Marcus Williams....and if a receiver is in the air do you wait until they land to tackle them?
Pretty much my sentiments. No other sport does what pro football does. As pro sports goes, the way the NFL does it doesn't make a lot of sense. College rules actually make more more sense. I'd rather just do a 10 minute OT period or extra time until a team finishes with a lead. If you're worried about injuries and tired players, then after the 10 minute period do something like a shootout. I'd rather just keep playing until a period finishes with a winner, but I know some won't agree with that.With overtime in postseason they should play a 10 minute quarter. Football only timed sport with such rules they have currently.
Could you imagine in basketball OT if first team to make 3 pointer wins. Or in baseball. Visiting team score run in extra inning and home team doesn't get to bat.
In regular season im fine with OT format. But for postseason with so much at stake it is woefully inadequate
I agree with all of that. With the roughing, the devil is gonna be in the details. There's a lot of elements to it. And I agree on protecting WRs. Every time I see a low hit, makes me cringe. And yep, OT both teams get a possession at minimum, but rather not go to CFB OT rules.
