According to the official play-by-play, the ball was at the 32 prior to the penalty...then the ball was snapped on the 42 after the OPI penalty.

It should be a loss of down... but that's another topic.

Hell, it should be loss of ball. And at one time, it was.

I disagree. Loss of possession is way too much of a penalty.

When you interfere with the other team's player's opp'ty to catch the ball -- whether they were the passing team or you were -- why shouldn't the penalty be at least as if the fouled player had caught the ball there?

The justification at lower levels for an enforcement from the previous spot is that the players don't catch as well, so the rules don't presume the fouled player would've caught the ball.

The offence has the advantage of knowing the play. That is their advantage and it should remain.
