Here are Gwedd's ideas for those who really, really, really need to have rule changes.
1.) Touchdown is worth 7 points. The team gets a free play to try for a 2-point conversion.
2.) Kickoffs: Change the touchback rule. A touchback ONLY occurs if the ball actually goes out the back of the endzone. If not, the runner MUST run the ball out. However, if the runner chooses to take a knee within the endzone, the ball is moved forward to the 10-yard line, not the 20.
3.) Kickoffs: If, during the kick, the ball travels between the uprights on the receiving team's side of the field, then the kicking team is automatically awarded 1-point. Everything else remains the same.
4.) Kickoffs: Alternately, at the discretion of the kicking team, any kickoff may be eliminated and the ball given to the other team and placed upon their 20 yard line. Choosing NOT to kickoff must be done immediately after scoring by informing the referee. (Note: This might be a handy thing if your opponent has a very dangerous return man and your kicker is kicking under less than ideal conditions, etc. )
5.) Teams are allowed to maintain 80 men on their roster. 10 may be assigned to the practice squad. 60 may be dressed for any one game.
6.) Injured Reserve: Any player may be reactivated from the IR list after a minimum of 6 weeks during the regular season, and at any time afterward, if the player's team makes it to the post-season. All players on Injured Reserve count towards the full 80-man roster.
7.) All players on offense are considered to be an eligible receiver at all times.
Anyway, as long as folks are discussing potential rule(s) changes, those are mine
