I'll admit redzone with 7 hours of commercial free football has spoiled me and between the TO's, penalties, reviews, and 100 pre snap whistles a game I get really bored watching stand alone games. Let's speed up the games

Start with the most obvious. The 2 minute warnings exist because the referee kept the official time of the game. Now, the official time is on the scoreboard and everyone knows exactly how much time is remaining. Any coach that is unaware of how much time is left is just stupid. If we must have a 2 minute warning, then just announce it. No timeout.
