Ha. Now that I think about it, here's something that would be funny. Let's borrow a little more from hockey. If there's a personal foul or unsportsmanlike, you get the yardage and you get one play shorthanded as the offender comes off the field and can't be replaced. My only worry about these rules would be the fact that no one can touch the quarterback now, and if you stiffen the penalties Tom Brady wouldn't even bother wearing pads. He draws penalties by being touched. |

Maybe they shouldn't get ejected but for plays like that maybe make the player have to sit out 10 plays on their side of the ball.

With the spotlight on concussions and player safety...being ejected from the game and forfeiting your game check would put an end to it.
Basically, they know and let lineman hold, they know and let WR and DB's interfere with each other, therefore giving them the freedom to pick and choose when flags get thrown. Ultimately, the game and the outcome is compromised. |
I don't understand why the NFL doesn't review ejections during the game. For a serious foul that may warrant an ejection, the player gets "suspended" until the next full commercial break. During the commercial break, the refs can review the video and discuss it and: allow the player to return immediately; give a 15 minute suspension starting from when the foul occurred, or eject for the game. This way it doesn't slow the game down but the refs don't have to make an on-the-spot decision to do nothing (outside of the usual 15 yards) or eject for the entire game.
For the play in question it wouldn't help, but when the offensive is backed up on say the 2 yard line and they get a "15 yard" foul after an incompletion, it only backs them up one yard. Why don't they extend the first down maker so instead of being second and 11 from the 1, it is second and 25 from the one? I don't get why if the offense gets a first down and a 15 yard penalty is flagged after the play, the offense is backed up but it is still 1 and ten and not 1 and 25. |
