Either that or stop calling the weak defensive pass interference calls. I know many may not agree with me ad the league is an offensive league and people want to see high scores but this is something that has really got on my nerves lately. Maybe it's the old defensive back in me coming out. But when the ball is up for grabs, I really feel that the same set of rules should govern both receiver and DB as opposed to this bias towards the offense that exists now.

PI should be 15 yards and a first down, period. Teams are getting rewarded for throwing up hail marys, and then diving on contact. TDs should be earned.

15 yards and a first down should be enough of a deterrent.
