Maybe. I'd be okay with it. | 1 | 5.56% | |
Don't care. I don't pay attention to the kicking game. | 1 | 5.56% | |
Not really. It'll block the view from some end zone seats. | 2 | 11.11% | |
Terrible idea. I would write an angry letter to my city councilman if this happened. | 8 | 44.44% | |

My suggestion for the kicking game.
Kickers have gotten really good in recent years. Really good. They've got good range, but particularly good accuracy.
So here's what I think the NFL should do. That space between the uprights? They should put three or four more uprights in between them. They'll do nothing but be obstacles for the kicker. He still get three points (or 1 point) for putting it between the regular uprights, but if it caroms off of one of the inside uprights, that's just tough luck. It'll make field goals less certain, thus promoting more fourth down attempts, which is entertaining. And having more doinking field goal attempts will give us more exciting kick returns off the bounce. I see no downside here. |

They should have 1 kicking ball be a gag ball that explodes on contact. No one knows which one until it blows up on a kickers foot. That would add some excitement. Like a game of Russian roulette.

I like it, but the Patriots would cheat. The upright thing would be hard to cheat for the Patriots.

Hard to deflate an exploding football

Actually no, it's not hard at all.

I'd suspend the opposing team's mascot between the uprights with a cable/pulley system. A direct hit equals 2 extra points above normal.

I remember that Walter Payton used to annoy his kicker in practice by throwing a football from under the goal post and trying to deflect field goals. It would really be cool if the backup quarterback was allowed to come in and try that in games. Plus, it would give the backup some work.

I like the idea. I've always thought in baseball they should make obstacles in the outfield like a couple of old junk automobiles and a rose garden that an outfielder would have to decide if he wanted to run through or not. A diving catch attempt into a huge rose bush would be awesome.
Edit: Oh , and a sand trap like on a golf course. Yeah, that'd make it a lot moar intertainting. |

I'd also put a split rail fence halfway out in the outfield.
