Could a rule change like this actually be good for the Pats? Instead of Jump Ball Joe (Flacco) heaving it up there and getting a 45 yard penalty, it would only be a 15 yard penalty.

Definitely a positive rule change, I'm in favor. This could also change how teams defend against two-minute drills in a pretty funny way.
I know the argument that DBs will just take the penalty than give up a TD on a long bomb, but many do anyway even with the rule as it is. And this is the college rule and it hasn't hurt that game.
I don't see it. A guy who consistently commits PI that costs the team 15 yards is going to lose his job.
Teams will likely still heave it down the field but now they won't get these miracle ass PIs on a hail mary that put them at 1st and goal when they had no right to be there.
I definitely think it could benefit the Pats as we are more likely to get a call against us for more than 15 yds. than for us for more than 15 yds. We have Brady. A first down is what keeps us moving no matter how many yards we get for it. Other teams, like Baltimore, need to rely on the big chunks gained a few times each game to keep them in the game. C'mom NFL, make the change!Could a rule change like this actually be good for the Pats?

If we has a Legit Deep threat not name Gronk we would be pissed. What if we finally get a guy who is tackled 40 yards down field from time to time?? This rule is going to hurt Teams who have Big Play WR's.
