re: Football rules that make no sense

where would you put the football? where the fumble occurred?
I really don't mind the rule, if you can't hold on to the ball around the end zone you don't deserve a TD. It would be unfair to award a person a TD if he fumbled the ball out of the end zone.
if you give a good alternate I could agree with you.
If a player is running for the pylon, and extends it and it slips from their grasp just before reaching it, and goes out of the endzone, it's a touchback. if it goes out before the pylon, it's spotted where it went out of bounds. seems like a huge penalty. I'm not saying that a TD should be given, but why should the team lose possession? If the other team recovers in play in the endzone, i'm good with a touchback.

this rule makes perfect sense, all a kicker have to do is get good at kicking it out at the 1 yard line on each kickoff and it would change the game completely.
I'm not saying there should be no penalty on kickoffs, but why is there no penalty for a punt? Presumably the kickoff rule is written so teams can't be pinned deep on a kickoff, but why is it okay to do that on a punt?

its a good rule IMO, what about personal fouls on a 3rd and 40 would that be just as bad.
there some things you as a player have to learn not to do, and holding a receiver on 3rd and long is of them
Personal fouls are pretty big offenses, defensive holding can be a slight grab of a jersey. I think it should be a spot foul and replay the down, but no automatic first down.

a punt is a different part of the game
you could if you wanted too punt it near the end zone and put it by the one.
Plus there isn't much benefit kicking it out of bounds on a punt except near the end zone. How would you rule it anyway

ok fast receiver on a LB, LB grabs the receiver for a couple of seconds, which prevents him from burning the LB, and allows them to get a sack. With your rule change LBs would take a 3 or 4 yard penalty instead of letting the guy burn them for 50 or so yards, especially if it was a 3rd and long situation

If you fumble out of bounds, you get the ball back where you fumbled it..... unless it goes into the end zone. Just an odd rule.
