BuffaloFan68 Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 Move the extra point back. Increase the roster size & game day rosters. Move the pro-bowl to 2 weeks after the Super Bowl & make it AFC vz NFC again. Clean up the officiating, no more favoritism for the Patcheats, and high profile players. Start the regular season earlier (labor day weekend). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CodeMonkey Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 (edited) Have the league supply the game balls via the zebras with the teams getting no chance to inspect them before the game. Remove the specialty balls for kicks and field goals. Change the extra point to what they experimented with last preseason.

CardinalScotts Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 (edited) ban pot- its privilege to play in the NFL and be paid very well to do it. If you can't obey the law shows a ton about you as a person - by ban it I mean test positive gone for the season. bring in younger referees - all those over the age of 65 gotta go - to pretend they can run, react, and see like they are 30 is the biggest joke on the league Edited April 26, 2015 by CardinalScotts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. WEO Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 As others have stated, no spot foul for defense PI. 15 yards. Works fine in college. Â Let them smoke their weed--they simply can't stop. Â No need for a lottery. "Tanking" hasn't really been a problem in the NFL. The Colts got the first pick because the sheer genius of Bill Polian was to never provide Manning with a competent backup QB all those years--especially after his first surgery. Add this to cutting Manning ahead of Luck's final year at Stanford and then rolling out his "secret weapon" Curtis ("Who Am I?") Painter, and the was no need to "tank". Nature took its course... Â Eliminate offensive holding. Â Bring the draft back to NYC. Leave it there. Â Refs only handling the balls before games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billykaykay Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 So, if your a defender and get beat by the WR 50 yards down field all you have to do is tackle him before the ball gets there and get penalized 15 yards? I believe that would be a huge advantage to the defense. Can't see this working in the NFL, defense would take advantage of the rule far too much. I like the NFL lottery system idea. No sure reward just for tanking. Â Â Â Imo Have you ever seen in college a DB tackle a WR 50 yds down field? It works in college & it would work in the NFL. I know that it sounds silly, but I would have all Guards & Tackles wear gloves that resemble boxing gloves. This would eliminate the flagrant holding calls that slow up the game. The only holding penalties would be the obvious OLman tackling the DLman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I have it happens quite a bit, maybe tackle is a bad way of putting it. The defender knowing it's only going to be a 15 yard penalty mugs the WR downfield when the pass comes. Why wouldn't you tackle, trip, grab a WR 40-50 yards downfield, if he has beat you, with the penalty only being 15 yards? The Pats* and others would do this all the time not caring about the quality of the game. If I'm a coach and my job is on the line I'd rather give up 15 yard penalty on purpose than 40+ yard passes.

Mark80 Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 (edited) Bring back the 2 day draft. Â Stop protecting the offense so much with all those penalties (especially things like even the slightest contact to a QBs head is a 15 yard penalty and the defensive contact penalties on WRs, they should be able to do what they want short of holding before the ball is in the air). Lets bring back some D. Â Change draft order. 1st team to not make playoffs drafts #1, second team to not make playoffs drafts #2, up until the worst team drafts 20th. Then follow same format as current for playoff teams. That would solve your tanking issues. Suddenly the Bills 7-9 thru 9-7 seasons start to look great. Mediocre teams get punished over and over while terrible teams get to hit on franchise QBs (and other positions) consistently. Â Offensive penalties (except pre-snap penalties) are also loss of down.

In 10-15 years this won't be anymore an issue than alcohol.

Vicodin, Percocet, or even worse and used a ton by players Toradol, which is horrible for the body, or pot seems there is one which is far less harming than the others. Also whether someone obeys a pot law is no more telling than if someone is speeding. Having preconceived notions of a person strictly because they do or don't follow the law on pot is far more telling of a person.

BarleyNY Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 Remove pot from the banned substance list. No one cares if a guy smokes pot, all it does is force the league to punish the player. Agree. Rremove pot from the banned substance list and substantially increase PED testing. Still too much cheating. Oh, and I'd be more consistient in punishments.

mountainwampus Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 I would invest in some better helmet technology. Putting rigid plastic on the outside of a helmet is barbaric. There are hi-tech self-healing plastics that could make a softer exterior and could probably eliminate most concussions as well as all these dumb rules against tackling high. This would also keep talented players from retiring as early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
