So... you get penalized however many yards extra you make? What if they actually score a TD? Umm, no, silly. If you convert the 4th down you continue the drive at 1st and 10 from there. If you score, you score. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would change how teams play the 4th quarter, and decide if they want to play for overtime, or play to win in regulation. I say whoever receives the opening 1st half kickoff, gets the ball in OT to start. The original sudden death coin toss wasn’t even an advantage for winning everyone remembered the losses and forgot the wins 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
altleg Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 We've tended to allow a higher than normal amount of onsides kicks to be recovered against us. I like the existing rules. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

row_33 Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 The pace and ways of football make for situations where replay is not going to be helpful, we’ve been watching this for a long time now this isn’t just a matter of taking ones sweet time to see if a hoops player had his foot on the 3 point line, usually while the game resumes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJS Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 Patriots suggested rule changes: 1) Allow videotaping at all times and in all places. 2) Stop checking PSI of footballs. 3) Remove rules for illegal pick plays. 4) Double compensatory pick formula.

If you score, you score. I would expect as much... it's just not self explanatory in this line If the team converts, they would get the ball on the 40-yard line. OT both teams should get possession of the ball ---- regardless of the other team getting a TD on their first drive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Punching Bag Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 9 hours ago, Never NEVER Give-up said: That's it?!?!?! The Chargers, Ravens, Fish & Eagles have the only recommendations? How about clarify the rules around fielding kick-offs. The more I thought about it, the more I think the Bills were screwed out of a TD against Houston in the playoff game. And issue is unlikely to occur again since the zebras made up a rule like Tuck rule so no sense addressinf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If its 3rd and 10 and you get a defensive hold it becomes 3rd and 5 and a retry of down not an auto first down. this ***** seems pretty easy IMO Ah... No!

Jrb1979 Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 My only rule change I would like to see is one the CFL has. There is no fair catches, the receiving player is given 5 yards to make the catch before the opposing play can hit him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
