Suggested rule changes for the NFL

[Lzen]

1. I do like having football to watch on Thursdays but, I agree that it sucks to play on a short week. At the very least, they should make it so that the traveling team gets to play the earliest possible game on the Sunday prior.

2. Dumb, dumb, dumb. Nope.

3. No.

4. Again, this is dumb, dumb, dumb. Some teams use these timeouts wisely to strategize. Or sometimes a coach calls it because he sees his defense is not set up properly and will probably give up a huge play. You'd be taking away from the game.
Nope.

5. I agree that this one is questionable. It is called differently depending on the player. I don't like the ticky tack calls.

6. Nope. This rule is just fine the way it is, IMO.

Edit: One more note on #1. Why is it that the tradition is that Dallas and Detroit get home games every Thanksgiving? I hate that tradition. Put other matchups on that day. F@#$ those two teams!

Don't get all the hate for #2. We can agree to disagree but I don't get why you guys want more XP kicked and less 2 pt attempts. Would make the game more exciting and much less likely to go to OT and reduce the possibility of ties.

You're worried about ties? Ties in the NFL are rare. OT games, while not rare, are certainly not all that common. And even so, the OT rules could be changed. I think the game is exciting enough as it is. Forcing teams to go for 2 is just trying to turn NFL2K into NFL blitz. It's not a good idea. Just my opinion.
