NFL Owner's Meetings: Rules Changes

[Amnorix]

Proposal to eliminate jumping the long snapper to block PATs/FGs passed. So that trick is now eliminated.

Proposal to move spot of ball after a kickoff to the 20, rather than the 25, if the kick went through the uprights got 11 votes. Not enough.

Proposal for automatic ejection for egregious hits to the head passed. No surprise, given the player safety issue at stake (read: lawsuit defense).

[Pasta Little Brioni]

More selective enforcement rules to benefit teams like the Pats...geez SHOCKING. Suuuuure those auto ejections will be fair, just, and consistent.

:rolleyes: Belichick and the Patriots are so deep in your head you'll never get them out.

['Hamas' Jenkins]

Motion to keep Pats fans from acting like supercilious cunts fails.

[Amnorix]

Replay review system changed. NFL HQ will now have final say. Officials will no longer go "under the hood." Should speed up replay review as ref won't have to walk all the way over to the replay video monitor.

As with all rules changes, this is specifically designed to fuck the Chiefs. NFL HQ should now have more ability to ensure that all calls go against the Chiefs, without the refs "on the spot" worrying about being murdered by certain whiny-bitch fans like Hamas and PGM.

LMAO

[oldman]

I don't have any problem with the ones that passed, but what were they thinking on the kickoff?
I agree, there will be some judgement calls on the egregious hits to the head. I'm sure there will be some teams (*cough* NE, Denver, whatever the team du jour is) that will get the benefit of the doubt both ways on that one.

[Red Dawg]

Not to worry gents. Brady soon is 40 and the end is near. He will begin the long fall off the cliff this season. At 41 it will be over and Bill will go back to losing like he did before he lucked into Brady if he has the guts to still coach without his crutch.

[Pasta Little Brioni]

Does pattoe even know what a football looks like?

[Amnorix]

Receivers running pass routes now given "defenseless player" protection. So the guy in the 5 yard "chuck" zone of the LOS who gets murdered by a LB that he didn't see -- that won't happen anymore.

[Amnorix]

Multiple fouls on same down designed to manipulate game clock made unsportsmanlike conduct penalty also.

a/k/a the Chip Kelly rule.

Man the uprights kickoff thing would be fun.

No fun league.

[Amnorix]

Shortening overtime from 15 minutes to 10 tabled until spring meeting.

[raybec 4]

Shortening overtime from 15 minutes to 10 tabled until spring meeting.

That's obviously a ploy to give the Pats an edge

[Amnorix]

I think they're not sure yet, which is why they're tabling it. Once they determine that it DOES give the Pats an edge, it will quickly pass. If they can't, it might not.

[stumppy]

Where is BlackOp at ? We need all this explained to us.

[DaFace]

Here's a full list.

does this include spiking the ball on snap?

I don't really understand that one myself.

[Nickhead]

I don't really understand that one myself.

yeah, it's just another rule to punish the defense for playing within the rules, all the while ignoring the offensive aspect of saving time is the same tactic.

Sounds like it favors teams with elite qb's.... and probably Dungver!!

[pugsnotdrugs19]

The ejection rule worries me.... they are bound to f**k that up a few times per year and possibly in the playoffs.

Oh great. Amnorix, the last person that should ever give an opinion about NFL rules chimes in.

[Crush]

You know what the NFL needs? More fucking rules. These fucktards are too fucking stupid to realize that they're killing the sport.

Why care? Isn't it all fixed in your book anyway?

[Rain Man]

I like the kickoff rule. Maybe you get one point if you hit the upright.

[Nickhead]

if a kickoff is out of bounds its a penalty. why is it not then a penalty when a kickoff is kicked out of the back of the endzone?

i have stated before, if they want kickoffs to be 'safer' they need to bring back the coffin corner kickoff. so then in tandem with the new rule of a kick thru the uprights is one point, out of the back of the endzone the ball is placed at the 20, or wherever it lands on the sidelines. if the returner elects to let the ball go thru the back of the endzone, then the ball is placed at the 10.

it's not a perfect idea, but it's better than what they are trying to do :D

The owners hate defense basically.

The game is catered to Madden nation ballas

I've never really understood the touchback thing,...like, ever. I remember as a kid thinking "....I don't get it".
I especially don't like how the ball can be kicked completely out of the back of the end zone, not even landing in bounds at all.

to me, kickoffs / "returns" are becoming about as boring & meaningless as extra point plays, with the exception of a few 'wow' type returns. But they're so few and far between, I find myself not giving a shit.

Yes, this is pretty clearly the NFL's itnention. It wouldn't surprise me if in a few years kickoffs are eliminated entirely and teams get the ball at the 20, or 25, or whatever, after scoring a TD. The REAL problem with that (in teh NFL's view) isn't eliminating kickoffs, it's eliminating any chance of surprise on an onside kick, like we saw in the Colts/Saints Super Bowl.

As Belichick said -- there used to be six competitive plays on special teams. Now there are two. It's basically impossible to block a PAT/FG. No overload, no push, no jump, no covering the center, blah, blah, blah. Kickoffs are also going the way of the dodo. And more and more it's ALL about the quarterback. Yay. :(

[Dayze]

let's just get crazy. eliminate kickoffs altogether.
but give the 'receiving team' an option; take the ball at the 20 like normal, OR take it at the 35. But if you take it at the 35, you're not allowed to Punt on that drive. you either score via getting into FG range or a TD, or the other team takes over on downs.

lol. **** it.
