Okay, I think everyone is missing my point. This not about A, other than they committed a foul. This is about B gaining an advantage by fouling. Let's start at the beginning and look at all the possibilities.....
Same play, long run by A, we'll say 80 yard run.
1- Only A fouls near the end of the run. A is penalized from the spot of the foul. End result is a gain of 65 yards.
2- Only B fouls (live ball). In the example given, yardage is tacked onto the end of the A's run. End result is a gain of 85 yards.
3- A and B foul. End result is to replay the down.
My point is that because of A's foul, the best possible result for B is to also foul. By fouling, B loses no yards on the play, and A is actually penalized for B's foul. I don't think I can be any clearer than that. [/QUOTE
We see your point, but ours is, if A doesn't like it, they should not have fouled in the first place. As some people say "them's the rules!"
How about the fact that if B holds A during a pitch, and they run for 50 yards, A has to decline the penalty cuz it would be enforced from the PS, but if they had held on a running play, it would be tacked on to the end of the run. That follows your same philosophy as unfair, doesn't it? So what do you do with that one??
