Beast Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 Make it a punt to start the game. You can also get a first down if you fake it and get 10 yards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is kind of what I was thinking about when I saw this. How do you have onside kicks if there is no kick off? They would really need to find a way to incorporate something like this if they did away with the kick off. Otherwise how would many late game comebacks actually happen?

I honestly think that in 30 to 40 years you won't recognize the game at all -- if it even exists anymore. They are scared if they dont make changes, you are correct, there will not be a league. Say what you want about "the players know the risks" , there are several activities the government will not allow you to do even though you willing acknowledge the risk. 1 hour ago, Jay_Fixit said: As if kickoffs matter anymore. People need to stop complaining. They’re only really useful if an onside is needed. 22 minutes ago, TheBeane said: That is kind of what I was thinking about when I saw this.

That Polian league will allow the team that is behind to get one play, from thier 35, to gain 10 yards and maintain possession instead of the onside kick. They have already stated no kickoffs. I thnk they are out of the NFL in 3 years, and i have no issue with it. Edited March 28, 2018 by plenzmd1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cudi Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 1 hour ago, TheFunPolice said: allow kickoffs to go out of bounds like punts and you'll see a lot fewer returns. That rule essentially forces a kickoff return play Then you'll have to move it back again or even further than it was before or else you'll have teams starting at the 5 because the kickers will just coffin corner them down in there EVERYTIME. And just imagine the confusion of the referees trying to decide where a high kickoff went out of bounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just looked up a stat sheet and it only listed 6 that happened last season I still want them in the game. Meh. I loved them too. But they used to be I think like 12-18 a season before, so I mean they weren't crazy common before Either way, can we get the "music City miracle" stricken from record if this goes through??

Clyde Smith Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 Might as well just end the game itself. It’s frikken football, tired of the sissifying of the league. Stop making the game so soft. When you strap that chin, you know all the possible outcomes that comes with the sport. My apologies to anyone offended lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buffaloboyinATL Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 You all realize this means no more onside kicks right? That would suck. How does a team down 2 scores late in a game stand a chance. I know it’s a long shot, but it is often an exciting one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could make it voluntary - meaning you can choose to kick off if you want or you can just choose to hand the ball to the other team on the 25. That would eliminate the stupid - kick it out the back of the endzone plays and still allow for onside kicks. Although I am not sure how that would decrease injuries assuming injuries are only occurring when a returner actually runs with the ball.

I think some rational efforts to protect the athletes are fine, but there's no doubt that the prevailing sensibility is just as much a cultural product of a particular ethos promoted by universities and elite culture as it is a determination of science. Regardless, I fear it is a losing cause. One will be treated as a regrettable dinosaur addicted to gratutious and dangerous displays of machismo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Figster Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 2 hours ago, HappyDays said: A couple posts above yours there's a tweet from Kevin Seifert that says concussions happen at 5 times the normal rate on kickoff returns. It isn't worth it for a play that very rarely means anything. Myself personally, I think starting field position can be very important. Fans want entertainment and when you continue to take danger out of the equation the NFL suffers the consequences in my humble opinion.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I understand what you're saying. We need 11 backup QB's per roster to cover kicks and we can keep BB on side. I like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
