targeting/helmet to helmet/roughing the passer (these are all essentially different variations of the same rule) all need to be based off clear intent and not things like an accidental helmet collision or a hand brushing the QBs head.

I would ban commercials, games are reaching 4 hours long in a regular basis.
It's sucks so bad!

Month long breast cancer "awareness" to one week. Admit that it was a charade to take advantage of stupidity and make millions.

It is now mandatory that all cheerleaders must be topless, effective immediately.

I'd make illegal contact anything outside of 10 yards instead of anything outside 5. I just think it's ridiculous when a defender grazes someone 7 yards downfield and it's an automatic first down.

You can touch the QB and not get flagged

DB's shouldn't have to look back and find the ball. Face guarding should be legal to cut out these ridiculous PI's when the qb under throws the ball and hits the defender in the back and gets rewarded at the spot of the foul.

Prime time games are longer

The NFL's popularity is all the more remarkable when you inspect the fare it has to offer each week on television. An average professional football game lasts 3 hours and 12 minutes, but if you tally up the time when the ball is actually in play, the action amounts to a mere 11 minutes.Nov 24, 2013

Add some inadvertents

1. Inadvertent pass interference = 10 yds + 1st down

2. Inadvertent contact with QB's helmet = 5 yds and not an automatic first down

Defensive backs shouldn't have to turn around and find the ball when guarding a WR. I think that rule is just a little over the top, imo.

Illegal Contact
The play should be NCAA rule of ball in air then yes and make it 10 yd or spot foul no auto 1st unless gained line to make. If not gained line replay the down.

I would ban Draft Kings and Fan Duel.

Then I would increase roster size to 60.

I might also consider allowing one foot in the end zone to be called a TD.

I don't think any defensive penalty should be an automatic first down.
