Make more of the offensive penalties include loss of down. Most penalties on the defense give the offense too much of an advantage. Make DPI review-able somehow. Add a targeting rule to eliminate leading with the head in all situations. On one hand we are told to be amazed at the athletic ability of these players and on the other, we are told that it all happens too fast. Garbage, players know they are targeting and leading with their heads.
The game has swung way too much in favor of the offense. Running backs can put their head down and run into someone, they can grab the face mask of a defender and use it to leverage them out of the way. The intentional grounding rule is a joke; if the QB can't get away or find someone to throw the ball then it should be treated as a sack.
I don't like the rules about a catch, if the ball touches the ground, not a catch. If the ball moves when you land out of bounds, not a catch. If you catch the ball, get two feet on the ground and cross the goal line the play is over, TD.
