My vote goes to when they increased the play clock from 30 to 45 seconds in 1988. The games became longer, at times tedious, and more specialized, with all the fat bodies running in and out gasping for air after each play.

Worst rule is the OT rule. If the team that scores first wins, you have to make them score a TD.

The way pass interference is called. IMO you have to let the boys play and calling somebody for a minor bump, or something else along those lines, is complete crap.

Hitting the kicker after field goals or punts. This should be allowed.

The rules that they have to protect the QB are too restrictive. The NFL completely over reacts to injuries to QBs. Its becoming impossible to make a legal tackle on QBs now adays. There's no helmet to helmet contact allowed (I know this applies to everyone), hands to the head, or tackling below the knees.

I also hate it when they call offsides when a lineman makes a flinch that is barely perceptible to the naked eye. If a flinch is minor and doesn't draw a defender, let it go.

Pass interference is too restrictive. Instead of enforcing the penalty at the spot of the foul it should be a 15 yard penalty.

small flinches are a little annoying..how about the new Ty Law rule? No contact beyond 5 yards..not even a little. PIs sohuld be reviewable

i cant think of it right now, but does anyone remember last year Brady got flagged for some sort of illegal block on a reverse?

That's not really a new rule, they just started paying closer attention to it. I think Ty Law is the one that coined it the "Ty Law rule", which really is bullstuff.

I don't like the limitations on what can be reviewed and what can't. Should be all or nothing to me.

I also hate the extra long Super Bowl halftime.

law didnt call it the Ty Law Rule..people started calling it that because he was 1 of the most physical corners

That was ruled a "crack-back" block-I believe that type of downfield crackback only became illegal in 1979...
