Blatant pass interference equals spot of foul.
Mild pass interference equals 10 or 15 yard penalty and automatic first down.
Didn't they do two different fouls with face mask ??? Five yards and fifteen yards, or was that college only ?

Not an automatic first down either.

You'd have guys pulling receiver down in the end zone or if they get beat downfield all day, LOL...

Exactly
BTW Tim, hope all is well Bro, read that you had your power down for a bit.

Good to see you back

The NFL used to have two different facemask penalties but got rid of the 5-yd one.
Pass interference pretty much HAS to be a spot foul penalty. The problem is that "throw up a bomb and hope for a pass interference call"has become an actual tactic. Or "have the receiver stop dead so the defender runs into him and draws a flag". There is a definite issue with PI, I'm just not quite sure how to fix it.

Has to be a spot foul.

Fellas, leave the tight pants to the ladies. If I can count the coins in your pockets you better use them to call a tailor. Stay thirsty my friends......

Tim ... glad to hear you got back your power. St. James got hit pretty hard and we are still without power. Could be until the end of the week before we get it back.
PS. I agree with your statement: You'd have guys pulling receiver down in the end zone or if they get beat downfield all day, LOL...

Liquidating my collection for the 3rd and final time. Time for others to enjoy what I have enjoyed over the last several decades. Money could be put to better use.
what fans want to see (scoring) and have done a masterful job at packaging that product.

One head smack from Deacon Jones or getting stuck by Butkus and they'd be crying foul to their momma's

LOL, yeah right.
Better question is how would Deacon Jones fare in the modern NFL where he would be at a size DISadvantage on every snap instead of having a huge size advantage as he did in the old days? Would he be able to adapt to being 40 lbs undersized and not being able to hit guys in the head?

Michael Strahan 6' 5" 275
Justin Tuck 6' 5" 268
Bruce Smith 6' 4" 280
So theres no way Deacon would be undersized for the position even in todays game.
Take away the head slap and Deacons speed still dominates even today.

I wasn't clear - he had a huge size advantage over the OTs he faced - something he would not have today. Nor would he have the huge speed advantage - a speed advantage, sure, but not a huge one.
