No, Fed is a simple 15 yards or half the distance.

I've never understood equating AFD with a loss of down. They are very different IMO. A 15 yard penalty PLUS a loss of down was a complete drive killer. They might as well have just given the ball to the defense.

Heck, I've never "understood" previous spot enforcement for DPI.

That is because you must not understand penalty enforcement.

Have you ever seen a wide-open receiver drop a pass?

Yeah, but they sure drop it a lot easier when someone gives them a good zetz as they're reaching for it!

I'm glad I saw definition one. Putting definition two in context to your post made me laugh.

Had this happen in my game on Friday:

4th and 5 from the B-8.
DPI in the end zone.
Now it's 4th and 1 from the B-4.

Amazingly, the Team A coach didn't complain at all about not getting the AFD... it helped, I suppose, that his team scored a touchdown on the next play.

First year of the rule change, they'll be ware of the change. It was a BFD.

After a few years, some will forget. New coaches will come in and won't have heard about the rule change.
