    QOD: What NFL rules changes would you like to see?

    So, if it is 3rd and 11+, why would the defenders not grab and hold every single receiver on the field? There has to be a mechanism to prevent busted plays like that. There should at least be a penalty of yardage and repeat the down if there is holding, DPI, or illegal contact. I agree that giving an automatic first down sucks.

    Because it would then be 3rd and 1.

    -Defensive holding and illegal contact is ten yards but not an automatic first down.

    -If an offensive player fumbles the ball through the opponents end zone then the ball will be placed 10 yards behind where the fumble occurred with the offense getting to keep the ball on the next down.  If some defender pulls a Leon Lett then the offense takes over first and 10 from the opponents 11.

     

    Also, move the Super Bowl to Saturday night or the Sunday before President's day.

    How many?  Maybe 2 (Coleman and Bishop).  If any other rookies start, it's gravy.

    Not too different from last year where we knew Kincaid would start and be heavily relied on as our first pick.  Also, it would be helpful but not necessary if Torrence won the starting job as our 2nd pick.  I think the only real difference is the 3rd and 4th round pick were drafted in positions this year is where they could play a small percentage of the snaps in positions that traditionally rotate.

    His philosophy with regard to rookies has been one of his most glaring flaws. 
     

    Hoping he can let his arrogance stop getting in the way. 
     

    He's always been consistent with rookies.  If you're the best guy we can put out there at your position (combination of physical and mental readiness) then you start.

    I especially enjoyed the fake punt with Hamlin.  Genius 

    If it worked we'd all be singing his praises because he realized we were too beat up at linebacker to stop the Chiefs offense.  The real limitations being a defensive minded head coach was not stopping that ridiculous low percentage shot play call by Brady to Shakir on 2nd and 9 coming out of the two minute warning imo.  An offensive minded coach wouldn't have approved of that stupid play call given the situation in the game.  That play call haunts me even more than 13 seconds.

    He needs to walk away from the game.  He should not risk his life for a championship.  Neck injuries need to be taken seriously.  He still has 50+ years in front of him. 

    You're pry right given he's made enough money to live comfortably the rest of his life.  I, however, would volunteer to risk my life for the vet minimum.

    He didn't even mention the lbqf whatever "folks" lol.

    WTF did you think he was referring too?  You can agree or disagree but this is an obvious shot at the LGBTQ community.

     

    "He is not alone. From the man behind the COVID lockdowns to the people pushing dangerous gender ideologies onto the youth of America, they all have a glaring thing in common. They are Catholic. This is an important reminder that being Catholic alone doesn't cut it."

    Well, I guess they will not invite him again:

     

    "“As a founding institution and sponsor of Benedictine College, the sisters of Mount St. Scholastica find it necessary to respond to the controversial remarks of Harrison Butker as commencement speaker,” the statement on their website said. “The sisters of Mount St. Scholastica do not believe that Harrison Butker’s comments in his 2024 Benedictine College commencement address represent the Catholic, Benedictine, liberal arts college that our founders envisioned and in which we have been so invested.”

    Smart of them to invite him then.

    Who make up probably less than 1% of the population. They should feel free to make a speech "attacking" kickers imo.

    Roger wants 18 games so it will happen. It will pry be on Brazzers since their no other stations left to milk.

    It could come as soon as next year.  Most likely 2026.  Two byes, two preseason games, start on labor day weekend, and Super Bowl played weekend of President's day.  It will be interesting how they determine the 18th opponent.  My guess is same seed out of conference opponent on a rotational basis (we'd be playing @Lions and home against the Cowboys this year).
