If consistent with all other all the other rules governing football, this SHOULD be not only a loss of down for an incomplete pass, it should also be a 10 yard penalty for Intentional Grounding. If consistent with all the other rules governing football, this SHOULD be not only a loss of down for an incomplete pass, it SHOULD also be a 10 yard penalty for Intentional Grounding. This is the most ludicrous rule in football, bar none. Asinine. Logically indefensible. Completely unintelligible. It falls into that "stupid special play category." It is right out of the Monty Python playbook of idiocy made reality. Edited February 24, 2023 by AURex 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would fix the flopping issue. I mean hey, you’re injured. You need attending to. You don’t need to be on the field. That would be a decent rule change, IMO. If you need physical help off the field you have to stay off for x number or plays or change of possession. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shabby 1,958 Posted February 24, 2023 Share Posted February 24, 2023 A big hell no to three and four. To me that's part of the strategy of play calling and time management. I would miss that part of the game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, only because they’re simply not going to eliminate $$$ three commercials per game. I think corporate America would actually go for the split screen idea because they know, many times during the commercials we run out to the smoker/grill or to the fridge for another beer. Obviously with the split screen, we would be forced to watch at least some of the commercial. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might be 20 minutes behind but I don’t have to sit through commercials and just fast forward to the next play. With YouTube tv you don’t even need cable.

Sometimes I think wealthy corporate America is just making a donation to their causes. I can’t believe the average sports fan is watching their garbage commercials. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have it a tiered penalty. 1st time down, you miss rest of the series. 2nd time- rest of the quarter 3rd time rest of the game If protecting players is really their concern then that would do just that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WillMunny 1,384 Posted March 5, 2023 Share Posted March 5, 2023 The #1 needed change: allow teams to elect to inbound the ball after a foul instead of having to shoot free throws. No wait, that's another sport... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Browning4AU 405 Posted March 6, 2023 Share Posted March 6, 2023 I don't understand why they are trying to speed up the pace of the game when the refs can't keep up as it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arein0 980 Posted March 13, 2023 Share Posted March 13, 2023 Biggest things I think should happen. The refs mics are always on when reviewing plays and everyone is shown what they are looking at. This will bring in lots of visibility to the replay system. I think having the extra point snap being placed where the touchdown is scored, like in rugby, would make for some interesting results and decisions. I also wish they would implement what the NFL does where if it is a clear missed call they just buzz down and make the change on the field instead of having to go to replay.
