Teams submit rule change proposals for 2020

[RunKC]

The proposal by the Eagles to have the losing team skip the onside kick for 4th and 15 from the 25 would be a huge advantage for us.

I like it but make it 4th and 20.

[digger]

idk..the onside kick alternative just sounds like a gimmicky rule an alternative league would use (aaf xfl) seems bush league

as for the blind side..there are enough god damn flags already, fuck off

Just revert the onside kick lineup rule back to what it was. Keep the new kick off line up restrictions for a kick off. But allow the previous onside kick position lineups to go back to what they were problems solved

[Discuss Thrower]

Fuck it.

Give a TD scoring team these three options:

1) go for two points from whatever yard line as it is now.

2) go for one with an XP kick as it is now.

3) give them the option to pick up an untimed 4th and 10 from their own 25 yars line.

[BossChief]

Pat could keep the ball the whole game.

[Kyle DeLexus]

Fuck it.

Give a TD scoring team these three options:

1) go for two points from whatever yard line as it is now.

2) go for one with an XP kick as it is now.

3) give them the option to pick up an untimed 4th and 10 from their own 25 yars line.

I'd stick with 4th and 15. Otherwise I like that they can use this in place of the XP or 2 point try. A team that is down by 14 would have a shot to tie it up and force OT, but they would have to be perfect to end a game.

[MAHOMO 4 LIFE!]

4th and 15 bruh were scoring 100 points every game. Hey Tyreek run wasp!

[DrRyan]

Miami's proposal makes sense. Why shouldn't the clock run if the defense declines a penalty on the offense?

[kcclone]

I hate the onside suggestion, although Mahomes and this offense could legitimately convert 4th & 15 regularly if they needed to score 2-3 times straight

[RealSNR]

You know, at some point you make so many rule changes that "make sense" that the product stops resembling the game of football.

I actually hate the points after TD rule in the XFL. It's gimmicky and stupid. Same thing goes for removing the onside kick with this weird 4th and 15 rule.

I don't care if it benefits the Chiefs because we have a QB superweapon. Lots of things give us an advantage. How about every time a team scores a TD of 50 yards or more, the opposing team forfeits a timeout? That sure would benefit us, but it'd be a stupid fucking rule.

[LongSufferingToady]

The Miami proposed rule change makes sense about the game clock.

The rest of the proposed rules can be deep-sixed.

[oldman]

I like #2 and #5. I'm not sure what the difference is between 6 and 7, but it seems like a replay official on site might shorten the review time. I'm kind on on the fence about the blindside block. While I fully support player safety, I saw at several instances last season where the current rule was either not enforced or was overly enforced. Frankly, I'm not sure what's legal and what isn't.

[tyecopeland]

as for the blind side..there are enough god damn flags already, fuck off

I read that as though they are trying to reduce the amount of flags for blindside blocks.

I think there are some tweaks in regards to onside attempts that can be implemented. When the NFL changed their special team rules for safety reasons (no running starts etc/even amount of players on both sides of the kicker etc.) an unknown outcome was that the success of onside kicks went way down, where there is hardly ever a chance to recover them (exception being the Atlanta/New Orleans game this season).

The only changes I would make is maybe re-implementing some of the old rules for onside kicks specifically. The ability for a team to score, recover an onside kick, and score again to win a game is some of the most exciting football to watch. You want it to be rare but not one in a blue moon type rare.
