Great. Start every drive at the 25 unless they opt for an onside kick attempt. We don't need a kicker skills comp. Fuck kickers. Respectfully...It's better than all the touchbacks. The Super Bowl didn't have a single kickoff return. It was broke.

instant TD for out of bounds, get dem points upI haven’t read deeply into the rule change other than what was posted in the first post, but is there any penalty assessed if the ball goes out of bounds? Used to be a penalty and ball would be placed at the 40 (if I remember correctly). But what now…can it hit in the landing zone and be spotted where it goes out?
This explanation equals retarded.Onside Kick
“What we did preserve is we got the onside kick in its current format, same lineup, same rules, same everything, and you can use it in the fourth quarter, and you can use it twice. So, if you’re trailing, and you say, ‘I want to just kick a traditional onside kick,’ you have that right under this rule.”
I know Titans haven’t really had a kicker in awhile, but FG are important.Great. Start every drive at the 25 unless they opt for an onside kick attempt. We don't need a kicker skills comp. **** kickers. Respectfully...
AFL rules. Put a net up that the ball can bounce back on. All KO are now in play, no touchback.instant TD for out of bounds, get dem points up
League wants more Taylor SwiftLeague wants more points scored.
I like it. As it sits right now it's just an extended break. No reason to watch
#kickerslivesmatter
My initial reaction was the same, but look at the landing zone, it's huge. It's essentially the same as kicking out of bounds. Punishes the kicking team if the kicker Fs up. I'm cool with it.There's no way in hell under any circumstances that a team should be awarded the ball at the 40 yard line.
This rule actually does the opposite of what you think it does.Might as well just put the ball on the 25 and take kickoffs out of the game. That’s basically what they’ve done anyway. The days of the big game changing KO returns seem to be over anyway.
Watch old film from games back in the 80s or 90s. It’s not the same game because they keep screwing with everything. Football is so wussified these days.
All I know is every time I turn around there is some new, convoluted rule change. And I can’t think of any that have actually made the game better, or more entertaining. (Except the new OT rules. I actually do like that change.)This rule actually does the opposite of what you think it does.
The new extra point rule has been the biggest changer imo. Many extra points missed now due to the added distance. It is no longer a gimmeAll I know is every time I turn around there is some new, convoluted rule change. And I can’t think of any that have actually made the game better, or more entertaining.

Like I said, watch some old school games and you’ll see that the game they play today is 10x softer than back in the day. And somehow, we seem to have more injuries than ever.
Now they can’t even tackle. Can’t wait to see how many BS flags get thrown this year because of the new “hip-drop” tackle rule.
Why do they have to keep screwing with everything?

For those that remember NBA Jam and “hot spots”, let’s get it started.nfl not allowing going for 2 when XP was 99.9% was crazy
wonder if nfl will have 'going for 3 from 10' or '4 pointer from 20' rules... they seem to want more scoring and being able to make up 10 point deficit with a 20 into the EZ play would do that
could also put man sized pinball bumpers at corners of EZ and allow an extra point if they are activated when lite .... cause mo' scoring
FWIW I agree about the longer XP ... 95% does make the occasional miss happen and they always seem to matter late in the game when there is one missed
