I like all three of them.

I still don't know how the tush push is conceptually different from the flying wedge, which was banned from the sport back when Teddy Roosevelt was president.

They better not vote for the Lions proposal of making playoff seeds higher for record.

Do not turn this league into the NBA. Make winning your division matter

But there's 8 divisions. That's too many IMO. Makes winning a division less important when seven other teams are doing it also.

By the same token, any shit QB can throw up a duck that has no chance to be caught and get 60 yards out of it because of a ticky tack call.

I doubt they change any of these.

1. Tush push has been happening for years now - are they supposed to ban it because the Eagles won a Super Bowl?

2. The NFL doesn't tend to make rules changes that will lower points scored.

3. The NFL seems to generally want less overtime, not more, at least during the regular season. Their message is usually that teams need to win in regulation or roll the dice.

Yeah, I wouldn't want that.

I had a sudden thought the other day. I was looking at the draft and realizing that the broncos, Raiders, and Chargers tend to get higher picks each year because they always lose two games to the Chiefs. It made me wonder theoretically whether one really dominant team can actually create a powerhouse division if all of the teams are good at drafting. You'd then have four stronger teams duking it out each year for the division.

I don't know that it's a reasonable concern given that there's so much variability between teams, and in the long run empires will always fall. You can also easily test the theory (which I haven't done) by looking at interdivisional records. But I think the only way to prevent such a thing would be to randomly shuffle divisions every year.

That then makes me think that randomly shuffling divisions every year would be kind of fun. This year we're taking on the Raiders, Chargers, and broncos. Next year we could be taking on the Brown, Rams, and Vikings. We should give this a try.

Don't have the QBs in your conference, so you get to make the rules. Goodall's NFL

I can't see how you make #2 work. A beat DB will purposely hold or interfere if it's not a spot foul and a first down because then the penalty would be better than the yardage given up. Gotta leave it as is.

I couldn't disagree more. I think that it was bullshit that the Vikings had to travel to the Rams just because the Rams won their division. I don't think that a 10 win team should get a home game against a 14 win team just because they won their shitty division. I don't care for the Vikings, but that wasn't right. And it happens all the time.

The tush push is a bullshit play that shouldn't be allowed. For no other reason than the Chiefs don't run it. End of story.

The 2nd one, here's the deal. The spot foul for pass interference is the real problem. Change that. Rewarding the offense 80 yards for a shirt grab just isn't reasonable.

The 3rd one, I can't remember what that was.....

Or even a 10 yard penalty, it changes the game at the end the way it is now.

The ****ing tush push needs to go, this isn't rugby. :mad:

I think the overtime rules are just fine, leave them alone.

The amount of downfield mugging would look like an old NFL Blitz match.

Can't just tackle a dude 40 yards downfield because you're toast, and only give up 15 for it.

Defensive holding should be tweaked somehow, it's really terrible to have like 2nd and 20 or 3rd and 25 just get instantly negated by a 5 yard auto first down.

The penalty yardage on pass interference is fine. Calling it properly is the problem.

My frustration and I do not even know how to change it is when the WRs are running down the field vertical and then suddenly cut back in toward the line of scrimmage. It is impossible to ask for a defender to account for that. I am honestly surprised there are not more downfield passes that are slightly short for a WR to earn a PI as he goes for it.

I think all replays in the NFL should go thru a Chiefs Planet consensus.
