#4 and #8 seem like great ideas, but I am not sure they would really amount to fixing issues. I do like the idea though.

I suppose someone thought #9 was a real issue? Is it?

8 had to happen … glad it is suggested


"First down inside the 10. A score here will put us in the Super Bowl. Cooper is far to the left as Njoku settles into the slot. Moore is flanked out wide to the right. Chubb and Ford are split in the backfield as Watson takes the snap ... Here we go."

Surprised the Hip Drop and 4th down push weren't suggested.

I'm also glad

If the games are fixed, then you'd need to constantly change the rules to ensure the desired outcomes are achieved.

If the games are not fixed, there are no reasons, mostly, to change the rules. I can't yet see the list.


Can Deshaun Watson play better for the Browns, than Baker Mayfield would have? ... Now the Games count.

If they want to mess with the onside kick attempt, 2 things should happen,
suspending of automatic Ist down penalties to a I0 yard and try again, and suspension of Pass intereference spot foul penalties to the I0 yard try again, on the onside attempt.
Teams should be able to choose the traditional onside kick or the other way, and,

most importantly, teams must be limited to only one onside kick recovery, or new way conversion, for the whole game.

because they have to keep some amount of integrity to the game of football, if they even have any left at all.

While this isn't an in game rule change per say, it may impact something that has seemed to dominate a lot of discussion and change possible game scheduling in the future.....

NFL Owners to Vote on Amazon TNF Flex Scheduling, per Report

NFL fans, as well as more specifically fantasy football managers, cross your fingers as a vote could make Thursday Night football a more viable and attractive option starting next season.

According to a report in the Sports Business Journal, NFL owners will vote on a new flex plan for Thursday night games during next week's league meeting.

As we all know, the highlighted primetime games have often served up sloppy, low-scoring affairs between bad teams. The flex plan would aim to eliminate games between teams sitting at the bottom of the standings. If the plan receives enough votes, the league would be permitted to shift quality Sunday games to Thursday night.

The report states that specifically that the league would be allowed to shift up Sunday afternoon games to Thursday nights in weeks 14 to 17, with 15 days’ notice, and to schedule teams for Thursday games after a previous Sunday game twice in a season. The current arrangement limits that move to once per team.

SBJ went on to point out that “In Amazon Prime’s first season as the exclusive home of “Thursday Night Football,” 9.6 million viewers watched on average,” according to Nielsen. The report called it a good number for Amazon, but pointed out that it marked a 46% decline in viewership from the 2021 season.

With player safety always the primary concern for coaches, NFL coaches could balk at the proposal—especially when having games moved while star players are dealing with injuries. Those players would now receive fewer days to recover and could potentially miss a game they would be able to participate in with it previously scheduled on Sunday.

Although fans may be ecstatic about watching teams with something to play for, those who purchase tickets for the live event in advance may not be so happy, as the new date may conflict with their ability to attend.

In order for this proposal to be approved, 24 of the NFL’s 32 owners must vote in favor of it. Given the allure of more attractive games, both from a fantasy and betting aspect as well, this proposal seems like it should be easily become policy, despite the potential legitimate objections offered up coaches and players.

Intoducing for The Cleveland Browns, Quarterback Deshawn "The Predator" Watson. He will also be the one to choose your next head coach.

Of course, the one rule proposal that most fans want has very little shot of coming to fruition.

The league should outlaw field goal attempts where the line of scrimmage doesn't reach the opponents 48 yard line, the penalty should be loss of possession. Really FG's longer than 65 yards.

There is no answer to why. Just forget the comment.


If everybody had like minds, we would never learn.

Both of these ideas are terrible for the teams that will or could play in these games.

A rule change about the number zero means zero.

What they didn't do was vote to review hits on quarterbacks.

I really do not understand why you would not review that??

Some of the ruffing calls have been atrocious.

Any player in the NFL or in any other sports league shouldn’t wear 0 or 1. Makes them look like attention-seeking nobodies. Who wants a zero on their back?
