Why kickoff in the NFL anymore?

It's a waste of time. Just give the ball to the offense on the 25 yard line and begin play. The only reason I see for kickoffs is the time for networks to get advertising in.

That's the point. If they can't get it eliminated, then make it irrelevant. Their argument is that the most serious injuries occur on special teams plays.

Meh, I think it was pretty overexagerrated last night due to where they were kicking. While yes, returns have been down, I don't think it will be that bad the rest of the season.
Hell I could probably boot the ball at least 30 yards up in Denver

They had a kick return to the house in the super bowl last season.
It was just greatly exaggerated due to the conditions and high elevation in Denver.

Kickoffs won't be around soon... I give it 5-10 years longer, max.

You do realize that on a warm day at Mile High Stadium a football will travel considerably farther than one at C-level. Normally the KR will catch the ball about 5yds deep with new rule. The more talented guys will take a shot on the return.

Some of the most exciting plays occur on kick returns.
I'd hate to see them go.

Now that Jason Hanson is out of the NFL, there may not be a single kickoff return this season.
