I was just trying to figure out what exactly he would want to change. I personally have no problem with the rule.
I still want to know what would happen if someone on the defense just blatantly grabbed a facemask to get a penalty what the result would be? If someone grabbed one of the ravens facemasks when they realized what was happening would Baltimore have to punt again? What would happen with the game-clock also?

I like to discuss, forces to really think an idea through.
When you say you have no problem with the rule, that means you are okay if more and more games end the way bengals @ ravens game ended?
I'm okay with the playcall because it was legal, smart play. But I'm not okay with the rules allowing this.
Just imagine, playoffs, Redskins @ Cowboys, we're trailing 14 - 23, we score a TD with 1:15 left in the game, 21 - 23, we have 3 timeouts left. Onside kick, the cowboys recover. They don't want to take any chances so they snap the ball, Dak runs away to the 5yards line, all other 10 players commit holdings, facemasks, whatever the F needs to be done to prevent any redskins player to get to Dak, to linemen follow him around and throw white powder in the face of defenders WWE style. That for 1:15. Cowboys win.
Ok they sure would be fined after the game for some of the personal fouls. But still a legal win. I'm not ok with that ^^
That's a stretch but you get my point...
