GP1 Posted August 13, 2011 Report Share Posted August 13, 2011 Anyone watch any nfl last night? Notice the number of touchbacks since they kick from the 35 now? It's what the nfl wants. Less excitement and less injuries. No thanks. This is how we are going to be "entertained" by the drama of the nfl this season.... 30 yard fieldgoal followed by a commercial followed by a touchback followed by a commercial followed by guys actually playing the game. No thanks. Want to make the nfl more exciting? 1. Eliminate the extra point and make a TD worth seven points. 95%+ extra points are successful. There is no excitement. Allow a team to try for an extra point by running a non-kicking play from the 3. 2. Make the goal posts half as wide. More than 50% of 50 yard+ fieldgoals were successful last season. It isn't impressive to make one now so make it more difficult. Make coaches make hard decisions instead of easy decisions. It's more exciting to watch a team go for it on fourth down than watching a fieldgoal. 3. No fair catches. Create a halo around the returner like they do on the cfl (5 yard) and require returns. 4. 20 seconds between plays after the ball is set. I don't need to watch Peyton Manning point at every player on the defense and call out what position they play for 35 seconds. After watching that act a couple of hundred times a season, it gets tiresome. 5. Only one non-injury substitution per play. Player replaced for injury may not return for 8 clock minutes after the injury. Let's get rid of the third down backs, etc and get guys who can play every down. The nfl needs to get back to guys playing the game in lieu of trying to create drama where it doesn't exist. Look, here comes another touchback.
