I propose a Change for the NFL! who's w/ me? Feel Free to Add you own Ideas.

Ive been a long time nfl fan and have always thought somethings needed to be changed or at the least would be good for their revenue and our entertainment.

i propose:

1) More games/a longer season

idk exactly if there should be MORE GAMES played by each team or if each team should get more bye weeks to stretch out the season but something is in order. season seems way too short every year. yes i realize football is a brutal/dangerous sport (compared to baseball and basketball which have remarkably longer seasons) but i think either granting each team more bye weeks or extending the number of games each team plays a year would be fine.

i think if they go from each team playing 16 games a year to 25 it would fantastic. it would force teams to have a more solid roster by having to play the 2nd strings for either whole games or in rotation (like they do in basketball where the starters start...they come off for an extended period while the bench gives them time to rest, etc)

i say thats a win-win for everyone. we get more football...the nfl and the teams make more $$$ by selling more tickets to more games and selling more merch, etc. plus it would drop the price of a ticket to the game as there are more games to go to. now its more expensive because each team gets only 8 home games a year.

2. games on days other than SUN/MON with the occasional thursday game.

why not have a game on tues/wed and/or friday/sat every wk. not a bunch of games but just 1. schedules could be set up like they are in basketball/baseball instead of the same old format of all the games on sunday with 1 on monday. leaves too much of a gap during the rest of the wk. if they extend the amount of games played but dont want to extend how long it takes to play that many games in a year then this is the solution where each team may play twice per wk. etc. once again...forcing them to have a deep roster as the 2nd strings will get more playing time.

3. throw away the overtime rules and either...play out a whole 15 min quarter or do like basketball and play a 5min (or whatever amount of time) quarter. ive never liked the sudden death format. its cheap. ask steeler fans who seen the broncos win the game in 1 play. the playoff overtime rules arent much better than the standard overtime rules. i think its better they play out a quarter (or short quarter) and if its still tied play another quarter until theres a clear winner. its much more fair to everyone.

4. numbering the amount of challenges a team gets. i think its unfair as there are some cases where the refs CONSTANTLY blow calls and if they are wrong it should be fixed. period.


thats all i really got. what do you guys think would be good changes for the nfl and its fans?

1. Since kickoff returns have been eliminated, why not make it interesting and award points for kickers that make it through the uprights?.
2. Defensive players rushing an opposing QB must say "excuse me" when crossing the line of scrimmage.
3. The defenseless receiver rule should now apply to running backs. In fact, if they aren't looking you can't hit them at all.
4. No jamming receivers off the line anymore.

There, that should promote more offense for the new European NFL.

Or how about simply changing everything back to the way it was prior to the Tom Brady rule?. Because the game I see doesn't look much like football anymore.
