The End Of Kickoffs?
Goodell floats novel idea for replacing kickoffs | ProFootballTalk
Belichick called it last year and the league denied it. |
Re: The End Of Kickoffs?
I would have a problem with giving the "kicking" team the ball on their own 30 for a 4th and 15. The way the refs throw ticky tack PI flags I would think the conversion rate would be much higher than an actual on-side kick.

Yeah, jus go 5 wide have everyone run deep routes then deliberately underthrow the ball and when the receiver runs into the DB running back towards the ball - PI automatic first down.

The Patriots have deferred and will punt off to start the game. :bricks:

Coming soon to a NFL field near you
* No more half time, instead the game will last 5 Quarters - So that the fans can quench their thirst for football * Timeouts will last only for 5 seconds now - So that the fans can quench their thirst for football * CB and Safety can only touch the WR or TE 5 yards after he has made the catch - So that fans can see more high scoring games * No more red flags to be thrown by the coaches - This wastes the time of the general public Wont be long before NFL loses its popularity thanks to Hitler Goodell :mad: |
Re: The End Of Kickoffs?
Just leave it the way it is. Removing kicksoff would take a lot of fun out of the game. What will they call opening weekend? Welcome to NFL Punt off 2013!

Oh, wait -- you meant PI rather than roughing the punter. Well, my point still stands. ;) |

Re: The End Of Kickoffs?
The idea isn't necessarily horrible, but what's wrong with kickoffs? Are punts really safer plays? I mean, when a guy receives the ball on a kickoff he usually has at least a 10 yard buffer before players come flying at him. How many times do we see guys backpedalling and looking up to catch a punt, only to be absolutely destroyed by a gunner the second the ball touches his hands?
If Goodell wants to go around changing the way the sport is structured, start by doing away with PATs and coming up with something more exciting. |
