Mine would be that the game has to be played outside and on natural grass.

Dome stadiums for football (and baseball) be gone.

That you could actually tackle the quarterback without being flagged

Rabble rabble real football. Go watch a replay of the first super bowl and jerk off.

Do away with divisions in the NFL.

12 best records make the playoffs.

Stadiums must provide a wide variety of domestic and imported beers at-or-below $8 per 12 oz.

Pass Interference is no longer an automatic spot foul in the NFL. You can have the option to call it a spot foul if it's obvious or deliberate, like roughing the kicker.

If you run up the back of a receiver because he deliberately underthrew a 60 yard bomb, have some freaking common sense.

Oh, and NO COMMERCIALS AFTER TOUCHBACKS.

No more automatic first downs on defensive penalties. If it's 3rd and 20 and a team commits a face mask, now it's 3rd and 5. There aren't any offensive penalties that have an automatic punt...

Mandatory HGH use. Let's take this to the next level.

I don't think you understand the thread... it's supposed to be what you would change about the NFL.

I'd get rid of the NFL's really stupid spot of the foul pass interference penalty.

Making face mask penalties for offensive players as well... It's not fair a defensive player puts a finger in a runners face mask and gets a 15 yarder, and when a runner face plants a defenders mask it's not called.

Coach can't call time outs the players on the field have to.

Kick offs from 30 again

Change OT to college style starting at -35 Must go for 2 if score TD

Mandatory game and practice helmets for player safety each helmet must be still in production and under warranty

No onsides kicks after Safeties.

If I could snap my fingers to make the game pre 90s or 2K I would. NFL is too uniform and has no personality.

If not however my rule changes to this game are quite radical to make better game flow.

No kickoff or coin flips. These are decided on home/away.

Maybe one day even test no extra points.
