NFL may eliminate "spot foul" part of defensive pass interference
#60
Strangely enough within this debate about defensive backs mugging receivers it works the same way for every team (or at least in theory). Unless you're going to acknowledge that yes, refs can and do throw games to favor certain teams over others you can't really make the claim that any particular team is going to get the built in advantage through the rule change. 
If the steelers or pats can have their db's tackle receivers to prevent TDs then obviously the Bengals can too.. 
What would be interesting is to find out what teams get the most PI calls in their favor and is it consistent year in, year out? 
It seems to me that it might just eliminate some of the mystery PI calls that often swing game outcomes so drastically. 
How many times have you watched a game where you thought the Bengals had the game in the bag only to see some mysterious PI call at the last minute. The line of scrimmage suddenly goes from our 33 yardline to  their 8 yardline and nobody actually caught the ball? You just can't get much murkier or fishier than that. And yes, murkier and fishier are technical terms specific to football that result in more new TV sales because of blunt objects being thrown at screens than any other single factor. . Wink
