Well, except for the Chargers and our slow, plodding early-'90s offense (which, by the way, only worked in the '90s because Norv had Aikman, Irvin, Emmitt, and a ridiculously stacked O-line).

I think the rules changes in 2004 were HORRIBLE in hindsight. It gives the teams with really good QBs WAY too much of an advantage. And it created slapdicks like Matt Cassel, who weaseled his way into $60 million. 15 years ago Matt Cassel would never have gotten paid.

No, Scott Mitchell had some talent. The dude ran a badass pass-first offense for a few years.
He was just an injury prone choker. Matt Cassel RAPED the Hunt family because the league changed the passing rules.

Goodell has become mad with power and the officiating has become a joke. The league bends over for Kraft, Green Bay, and the Rooneys on a yearly basis. For the first time in my life, I can honestly say that the NBA provides a better product than the NFL, especially since $tern is leaving at the end of the year.

Eliminating FGs is as stupid as eliminating kickoffs.

His idea for a replacement is very gimmicky, especially considering the final couple of minutes where a team is more likely to be successful with the make it take it style than recovering onside kicks.
I've thought about Belichick's comments a few times, and even though I kind of agree, I don't know if it should change. Even if most kickoffs are returned within the 25 or 30, I don't think you can really take away the chance at an extra 20 or 30+ yards and just place it on the 20 or whatever. My frustration with it though isn't exactly the kickoff itself or the chance (or lack of) that one will be returned beyond the ~25, but with all the stoppages. When I have a game recorded on my DVR, I generally FF from the time a team scores until the next 1st down, skipping the possible delay while reviewing the score, then the EP, commercials, kickoff/return, and commercials. It's basically 5 minutes of pointless football and commercials that usually results in one easy point and the ball at the ~20-25 yard line.

This kickoff rule would make it a bit easier to stage a massive comeback. I feel like you are more likely to convert 4th and 15 than grab an onside kick.

I wonder sometimes what the game will look like in 25 years. This sounds crazy but Goodell is trying to be forward thinking. I posted an article a week or so ago about new discoveries between football and brain damage. It didn't get any responses, and I didn't expect it to... but you wonder how much the game will change over the next couple decades as they figure out playing football causes head trauma and people start freaking out over it.

Oh, and QB's. No one can hit them. OR maybe they will be in a force field. Oh and one more thing, tackle gently. A kinder gentler tackle please |

Goodell is a ****ing moron...basically if you don't have an elite kick returner, kickoffs are a waste of time now.
I haven't been interested in a single Chiefs kickoff return this year. Every single one is bullshit.
