If you made the penalty 10 yards I would be okay with no automatic first down. If I’m they removed the first down and keeping the yardage to 5, you’d see a lot more grabbing and less offense. I don’t love the trends of of the last few years that suppress passing and emphasize a rushing attack.

Every pass over 30 yards with a chance of being caught would incentivize a foul. God how boring.

I'm not sold on #1. Yes, it is annoying but teams need to figure out how to stop it. That being said, I might entertain the idea because, to my knowledge, defensive players can't be pushed from behind. So why can they do that on offense?

#2 & #3 are good ideas, IMO.

There is no sporting justification for a 14-3 team having to travel to a 10-7 or even a 9-8 team that barely even deserve to reach the playoffs just because the lower team were the best of a terrible group and the other had an even more outstanding team in their division.

If the Tush Push play is such a cheat code then the 31 other teams would be running it as well.

Buffalo proved in the AFC Championship Game that it's not easy to execute.

I wish they would make a new rule in NFL that cheerleaders have to be an 8 or better, no dudes or trannies.

Play defense.

But also would be cool with putting the kickoff back the way it was 20 years ago.

No
Yes
Yes

It might just be naivety on my part but I don’t understand why the ‘ineligible man downfield’ rule exists and why we can’t just have every player on the offensive side of the ball be a receiver on every play.

LOL. The Chiefs won't even run a QB sneak.

So you're saying the Chiefs should fire all of their cheerleaders?

Illegal contact/holding should be a 5 yard penalty, period.

DPI being a 15 yarder also makes sense.

Yes to all three.

Watching teams that can't move the ball without jump ball penalties is equally boring.

"Play defense"

The rules have been put into place so teams can't just "play defense" anymore, man.

And you would've been asking a team to "play defense" well enough to prevent a team from picking up ~50-60 yards back when sudden death was a thing. The kickoff touchbacks took you to the 20, and while there were some rocket-legged kickers back in the day, many of them were pretty inaccurate from 50+. These days you're making it hard to play defense and the players/circumstances have drastically shortened the necessary field to make the kick.

Things have changed. Players have changed. Rules have changed. Sorry, but you're out of touch on this. You remind me of some asshole customers who would storm into the store way back when I worked retail and expected me to fix a problem or get something in stock when I literally could do nothing. When I told them that, they said, "I won't accept that. I'm the customer. You're the employee. You figure out how to make it happen" as if they thought I was beng lazy or I was just ill-trained and incompetent.

You shouldn't win the game just by breathing. At least with the current rules, the offense has to actually work if they want to win on the first possession of OT. There needs to be a "prove it" factor. And that's the best method. You can have your sudden death immediately after they fail to score a TD. It's pretty simple.

Absolutely this. "Just play defense" doesn't fly for a league that has purposefully slanted the rules towards the offense.
