I would adopt the “spot and choose” OT proposal that Belichick and the Ravens suggested.

I’d also like the higher playoff seed get to choose their opponent.

Jeff Van Gundy and I agree with you

Just assuming he does because he usually agrees with reasonable rule changes to make the game better.

Home team gets the choice in OT (and might as well at the start of the game, too), no more coin flip bullshit... especially in the playoffs where you've earned HFA.

I actually like this one. Yes the coin flip is tradition and all but home field advantage should give more “advantage”. Hell even visitors get to call the coin flip….what is that?

They could still do the coin flip but it only determines which side of the field you start at. So for example….Chiefs are at arrowhead playing Raiders. Chiefs decide they want to defer but captains still go out for the coin flip to determine which side of the field the winner of the coin flip wants. Could actually make still a difference if wind is crazy.

This would give more meaning to home field advantage and could make playoff push’s for home field even more important to teams.

Not a fan of any of those proposals, but, pass interference remains a terrible problem. How many times are we going to witness Brady throwing it down the field in the 4th quarter to the 5 yard line and get a call - ridiculous. I think 4th quarter calls should come from New York only inside the 20, and never result in a first down. They get half the distance to the first down marker and get the down back, and a repeat penalty, consecutively results in a 20 yard penalty.

I'd be fine with maxing out PI at 15 yds. I agree with no automatic 1st downs either let the yardage speak for itself. Nothing worse then the defense making a stop on 3rd and 12 and the zebras call a ticky tack defensive holding. It should be 3 and 7. Giving them another shot is bad enough dont need to give a 1st down. It would be like in baseball hitting a batter or catcher interference not only resulting in 1st base awarded but automatically reset the batting team to no outs.

Sweet. I can’t wait for every pass that travels over 16 yards and looks like it will be completed to end in a pass interference on purpose. That’ll make the game more watchable.

**** Dallas and Detroit on Thanksgiving. Get rid of those shitbag teams. Detroit always sucks and Dallas’s entire division sucks. Put some quality games on for a change.

I want the Chiefs to have a bye week between every game, and Dungver has to play every Thursday and Sunday.

Sorry my thread that I put a lot of thought into and is about football is getting in the way of the 800 or so threads about things that have nothing to do with the Chiefs or football. If it's so bad just ignore
