Pass Interference Won’t Be Reviewable In 2020

The NFL is officially making a big rule change ahead of the 2020 season. Pass interference will no longer be a reviewable foul whenever the league next plays games, a source told Mark Maske of the Washington Post (Twitter link).

Maske reports that owners won’t even take a vote on the issue and the pass interference replay review rule will simply be allowed to expire. In a separate tweet, Maske notes that teams “overwhelmingly indicated” they didn’t want the rule renewed for another season. In a huge move last offseason, the league made pass interference penalties reviewable by coach’s challenges and by the booth.

They made the decision last year at the behest of the Saints following the controversial no-call that likely cost them the NFC Championship Game to the Rams. The rollout was a disaster, and seemingly everyone hated the implementation right from the start. The replay booth was very strict for the most part, but also inconsistent, with what they would overturn.

As for new rule changes that could take effect in 2020, the NFL released the full list of proposed rule changes that owners will vote on at upcoming meetings. Included are the Eagles’ proposals to “provide an alternative to the onside kick that would allow a team who is trailing in the game an opportunity to maintain possession of the ball after scoring (4th and 15 from the kicking team’s 25-yard line),” as well as to make overtime 15 minutes and reduce the importance of the overtime coin toss.

There are a handful of other interesting but less significant proposed changes which you can view in the release. All proposed rules need support from 24 of the 32 owners in order to pass.

I wonder how Saints fans are embarrassed or if they will continue to pitch a fit.

Unpopular opinion: Not a fan of reversing this after a year. Wanted to see it develop a few more seasons for coaches to have better judgment in reviewing DPI

 

[Merlin]

Good call. NFL needs to be more conscious of the speed of their game. They review enough things already. And teams fishing for PIs is some bullshit too IMO.

 

[So Ram]

Wasn’t really viewable in 2019 either. Talk about a joke & waste of time. Slowed the game down.

I think they should have kept and made it legit. Last year was a joke. Clear PIs were allowed. The NFL never took it seriously. Too bad, because pass interference can stop a drive and directly impact the outcome of the game.

 

[rams1fan]

Good. It was a stupid idea from the get go.

 

[Corbin]

Best non call this century!

 

[CGI_Ram]

I think it’s a good idea to trim back replay.

The NFL has lost the ability to truly celebrate a play, until it’s been picked apart by replay...

How many time have you experienced this?

Read like you are speaking out loud... because you know you’ve said this, probably more than you’d like to admit...

[Rams Score Touchdown]

“TOUCHDOWN! HELL YES!!!! BOOM! THATS RIGHT, BABY!”

“No wait.... (watches replay) okay, whew...”

“YES! That’s a Touchdown! Woot!! Suck it mother fuckers!”

(another replay plays)

“Hold on. Wait...”

“Oh shit. Maybe not? Fuck! Fuck me! Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!”

(another replay plays)

“Hold on. We’re good. That’s a touchdown.”

“Show that angle again... (another replay plays) no... not that one...”

“Goddamn! For the love of gawd!” (Commercial break)

(Goes gets beer... mumbles...) “That fucking better be a touchdown. Fucking refs. Those fuckers screw us every time.“

(Continues mumbling...) “He made a football move. I saw it.”

(Returns from kitchen. GZ already kicked XP. You missed everything)

“Yeah. Well. I knew it.”

[EasyE]

the right move by the NFL....I would even say no replay on catch/no-catch calls….

 

[snackdaddy]

Saints fans were hoping they'd get a win or two with that one. In the end, another non call finished their season when the Vikes scored that last TD.

 

[Mojo Ram]

Rumor has it the NFL is working on a new rule that will allow the Saints to skip the playoffs and go straight from division winner to the Super Bowl. All previous attempts at doing so have failed.

 

[Memento]

HAH! TAKE THAT, ASSHOLE FACE, AND ALL YOU WHINING TAINTS FANS!

EDIT: OH, YEAH, AND FUCK YOU TOO, MICHAEL THOMAS!

Yeah as bad as the 2019 season was... That win was fuckin glorious!

 

[nighttrain]

9-7 aint that bad

 

[rdlkgliders]

Thankfully, what a mess that was. Now simplify the rule and lets get back to football on the field not the booth or in the hands of zebras

 

[Loyal]
