That's exactly what the XFL did. Interesting, no punting inside opponents 50 yard line. So if you're opponent has it at their 48 yard line, 3rd and 15, you would want to give up 3 yards so they have to go for it on 4th and 12. The rule looks like it's forcing teams to be aggressive, but it may have the opposite effect. In the aforementioned scenario, teams my opt to take a knee on 3rd down and punt.

I hate teams getting rewarded more for long field goals. Why should a team be rewarded for not being able to drive further into their opponents territory? 2 1 Quote

So you admit it... you're in favor of giving more points for shorter field goals!!! Over and over, it has been proven that the NFL has not viewed these leagues as "developmental" and the proof is that, despite 5 different leagues playing a total of 15 seasons over 50 years, a tiny number of players have made the leap to the NFL. They would only put real money into this league if they could get money out of it, which they can't. The NFL would rather sponsor flag football than UFL. 1 Quote
BlazinBill Posted March 18 Posted March 18 Didn’t even realize it was still a thing- it’s Arena Football with slightly better QB play- I have a hard to getting into alternate leagues - maybe I’ll give it a go again Quote
Metal Man Posted March 18 Posted March 18 In my mind it always kind of made more sense to make the closer field goals worth more points. In other words reward the team for penetrating deeper into their opponents zone even if they can't finish for 6. 1 Quote
