What is Pass interference?

[Judge Fudge]

Because if these 3 photos are not clear as day. I don't know what is..

The league doesn't even know what PI is..... So we will never know

Close call. Not convinced #27 impeded the receiver from catching the ball.

His Arm was around the Waist before Jump and Moving to his chest when Jump

Not disagreeing, but early contact isn't automatically a foul and that contact didn't stop the receiver from catching the ball.

...and there's an unofficial rule about PI at the end of the game. (There shouldn't be, but there is). Officials almost never call it unless it's blatant.

Week to week, crew to crew remains a flip of a coin

I agree it was PI. We got away with one.

And Eddie Jackson got correctly called for PI earlier which CHI fans thought wasn’t PI.

It's tough to judge just using photos. PI is a judgment call. The essential question is whether there was enough contact to impeded the receiver. I didn't watch this game, so I haven't seen the video, just your photos.

Lol, the Dolphin player put him in a bear hug before the ball arrived. It was obvious PI.

I would have called DPI, but I don't see an egregious error. I can understand why it wasn't called.

It's nearly impossible to judge from a photo, because a simply having hands on the WR is not automatically PI.

my problem is not what is a PI... my problem is the deep PI, doesnt matter if it is blatant or not... it is a spot foul... and can change the drive too much... especially those 25+ yarders, and the ones that create first and goal....

 

[FaCe-LeE-uS]

I think the rule states something about "significantly hindering" a player from making a catch. This doesn't appear to 'significantly' hinder Claypool, but maybe it should rather be called for illegal contact?

In any event... Welcome Bears fans to Chase Claypool, and his bizarre inability to make contested catches lol.

The ball is in the air....it's either PI or not. Illegal contact is when the QB still has the ball.

If it wasn't a spot foul and it was say 10 yards instead you would have DBs doing it on purpose when they are beat.

It's a spot foul for a reason.

See referee Steve Patrick yesterday for an excellent example

Been saying this for a while.... it should be a 15 yard penalty like it is in NCAAF. If the refs are that inconsistent (hell even with the challenges they were getting it wrong) stop making it such a huge penalty.... but the NFL likes their offense because ratings and fantasy football dorks.... so more offense and scoring the better..... that's why they wont make the change and removed challenging DPI.
