The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was not meant that we should voyage far.

What you absolutely can.

You know a receiver has you beat way before he’s out of reach

Yeah, if it was a 15yd penalty why would you not just straight up tackle every receiver after the first 15 yards? It would effectively eliminate all passing plays beyond 15.

No defender willingly gives up 15 yards.

This is the counter argument but I really don't think it's the problem it's made out to be. No one who thinks they have a chance of breaking up the pass is going to willingly give up 15 yards, and if you're really and truly beat you've gotta be on top of that poo poo to grab while the guy is going by.

I mean this does happen, but it's not the aspect of DPI that is most often called. And generally never for 40+ yards, that happens with double moves.

I don't like loopholes, but I GUESS if some team tried the tackle the receiver a couple of times endgame rulehack it could be flagged as unsportsmanlike or something. And it doesn't really happen in college.

All dpi should be 10 yards unless goons agree that 'he really meant it' then spot of the foul/ personal foul rules come into play obviously.

Now forcing the NFL to follow/livestream these GDThreads is something we can all get behind.

idk I think if there are 30 seconds left in the half and Aaron Rodgers throws up a deep ball it would probably make sense to just tackle the receiver and take the 15 yards.

Had there not been the PI that was most likely a TD. The PI saved a TD, and the Colts could have forced a FG. Like, I'm really not sure what the argument is. That was as obvious as PI could be.

If defenses start doing that then in that situation I would just run five wide and have them all run fly routes as fast as they could

I figure you can force a penalty with about 7 to 8 seconds of clock burned, do that 3 times and you've gone half the length of the field
