If you want to defend with fewer folks to leave one near their net, go for it. So many plays end with that silly "timing it wrong" offsides call.

The game doesn't need to change.
But Chicago is indeed completely gutless.
Offsides is there for a reason. Know what that reason is? Do you think it would be there if it was not vital for the game? Besides the fact that it isn't even called that often.
