Football Suggested rule changes for the NFL

1. I don't really care, but my preference would be no TNF.

2. This is insane, no.

3. No.

4. The NFL is not going to cut into advertising opportunities. If we looked at it purely from a football angle, one TO per team per game might be a bit of a reach. I do agree, most situations don't require 3 timeouts and if they do then it's primarily posturing one way or another before a last-second field goal. Teams could certainly live with 1 per half. Hell, do them a solid and give them 1 per quarter. The chances of teams using 1st quarter and 3rd quarter TOs are probably slim, but not none. In any event, its a waste to think they'll change this.

5. Sure, we all agree this shit is as ticky-tack as it gets but the NFL and it's owners has made it an absolute that they protect the QB even if it looks ridiculous. I guess, if you're spending 100's of millions on a long-term deal, you don't want it getting all dinged up. I still think it takes away from the game. At least let the guys get touched if you're not going to let them get hit. Like 4 above, they won't change this.

6. Yeah, I kind of agree with this one in that it's be fun to see your rule in action. The "outside the pocket" rule has really made grounding a bit of a gray area. They still have to get the ball to the LOS but it has made it too easy for QBs to not lose yards and not get hit.
