A couple of days ago I was working BJ and against one team I had 5 obvious Offensive Pass Interference Calls. Every time their team ran a pass play the unintended recievers were blocking downfield. Their fans and coaches were livid at the 15 yards and LOD call. Their coach said that they've been running those plays all season and haven't had this called once. (It was week 5) I know no one likes the Fed OPI rule, but why can't we call what we see so the next guy who does his job doesn't have to suffer because the guy before him didn't make the tough call?
Are your calls situations where A blocks B downfield before the ball is thrown?
