N.F.L. Considers Reducing Ads and Length of Games

[JD10367]

It's pretty much everything.

Too many TV timeouts.

Too many replays.

Too many boring/bad teams.

Get rid of Thursday night and London.

Get better officiating.

I would even consider shortening the play clock. Do they really need 40 seconds? Even making it 35 seconds would speed things up.

Have you seen Andy try to call a play? 40 seconds is pushing it sometimes.

They don't need to speed up the clock, they just need to eliminate other garbage.

The NFL is so far behind the times.

They should triple the number of cameras. One in every pylon and even on on 1st down marker that the guy holds. Then upgrade the replay booth with more monitors,frame-by-frame etc. Instant contact with main office in new york and head of officials.

Stop coddling the refs on the field. The replay booth checks every play during the game and has until the next play starts to decide if something needs reviewed. The called down and stop play and have 120 seconds to make a decision and ask head official if there is any question. Then they call down and tell the ref what to change, if anything.

Almost all of it happens behind the scenes and doesn't slow down game. Similar to college only with the super high tech version because the NFL can afford it.

The NFL should hire a technology crew and programmers to develop software just for the NFL's replay review making it faster and more accurate.

I still the the league should chip the footballs. They can just movement and location software to know exactly where football is and if it hit the ground,broke the endzone plane and a ton of other stuff. Break the infrared technology which would allow the replay booth exam plays that occur with the dogpiles and they can see if chip changes possession etc.

So much could be improved and sped up.

All replays should be handles and completed during a commercial timeout. The should ADD a timeout, it should used a normal timeout.

They should also try a PIP during commercials to let the boring plays happen during a commercial so they don't have to stop play. I don't know if that would work but they could try it and see.

Europeans are used to non-stop soccer and if the NFL ever wants to have a change to expand there they will have to make major change to reduce stoppage of play.

NFL is run like shit, so sloppy.

A bunch of old dudes collecting money instead of pushing forward to improve game.

Let the players celebrate: New rules, nothing rude ... no props other than football ... no longer than 5 seconds.

Make deal with NFLPA next CBA ... NFL fires Goodell and agrees to let NFLPA handle all players disciplinary matters in exchange to NFLPA also handling all player retirement stuff(including medical and insurance stuff)

That makes players handling player and NFL handling business ... the way it should be.

so much other stuff that should be done but i'm all typed out.
