No one is even counting alligators?

The pussification of flag football continues.

Pro Rugby players must be laughing at the pussification of the NFL.

They don't even wear helmets while bashing each other's heads in.

I'm intrigued by the idea of eliminating the punt. As in, you always have to go for it on 4th down. It's pretty unlikely (at least in the foreseeable future) since it'd be such a fundamental change to the game, but it definitely wouldn't be boring. I'd be really interested to see the XFL or the Ebersol/Polian league try it.

It would turn the league into a 100% passing league. A run game would essentially become more of a gimmick than an offensive play style.

A team may find itself down 3+ posessions within minutes. And that will happen quite often, facilitating the need for every team to feature a quick strike passing attack.

An example of ruining the quality of the game instead of just figuring out how to make the game safer. Hate it. This is why the nfl needs a competitor league. Wish we could go back to kicking from the 30.

How about just expanding roster spots to allow for special teams only players. Then go back to normal rules. There would be an endless supply and who cares if they get hurt.

Holy shit.

Do you know "who cares"? The ****ing owners.

They're already shelling out more than a billion dollars in a concussion settlement.

Do you think they want to add to that figure?

Spott · 03-28-2018, 04:12 PM

As long as Dat is in the team, I’m all for getting rid of kickoffs.

Deberg_1990 · 03-28-2018, 04:12 PM

So will the NFL lower the number of roster players from 53? They won’t need all these special teams specialists.

The NFL is killing jobs!!!

tk13 · 03-28-2018, 04:25 PM

The game has been trending this way for years now, so I wouldn't be surprised to see it eliminated.

Like others have said, the only problem is onside kicks. If you're down 14 with 2 minutes to go there's zero chance to win. Yeah the chances now are still really small, but it does happen, and we all still watch the game because there's a slim chance for a miracle.
