PI is such a gray area penalty, and some PI calls are simply absolute horseshit.

Responses:

In the Colts game yesterday, a Bengal tried to run the ball into the endzone. He failed as he was hit and clearly on the ground. - Spawn Dec 9, 07:51 4
- also, at some point, we are going to start getting people screaming collusion. - groiny Dec 9, 07:53 1
  - That PI call was atrocious. -- nm - Shaun Dec 9, 07:54
- well, lucky for you that it was not a one touchdown game. nm -- nm - groiny Dec 9, 07:51 1
  - At that point, it was. -- nm - Spawn Dec 9, 07:53
it is no coincidence that we are getting more games won on the last drive now, than I can ever remember. - groiny Dec 9, 07:49 7
- The Lions got hosed yesterday during one drive. The roughing the passer call that Fairley got was a complete effing joke. -- nm - Shaun Dec 9, 07:54 6
  - well, I can't fault them for that, because the Lions built that rep for themselves. - groiny Dec 9, 07:55 5
    - Are we expecting too much from guys with 6-figure part-time jobs? -- nm - Shaun Dec 9, 07:57 4
      - But my example is ridiculous. The call on the field was right, there was no angle that seriously contradicted it, and the booth took their time ... - Spawn Dec 9, 08:00
      - I expect them to let the players play, and don't be so damn flag happy. nm -- nm - groiny Dec 9, 07:58 2
        
        It's pretty amazing that some games can have 1-2 penalties, yet others have high teens/low 20s penalties. -- nm - Shaun Dec 9, 07:59 1
        
        the amount of hand fighting by WR and CB, and you can be sure that defense gets flagged 80% of the time - groiny Dec 9, 08:01
