The college rules are so much better I can't imagine a rational person could possibly disagree.


Besides that you eliminate kickoffs, shorten the field, and force teams to go for 2?

If you remove those things, I could possibly agree.

How about playing some D for once? This is the same board that makes fun of the Big 12 and Pac 12 for not playing any D and then complains about NFL teams not getting a possession in OT when they have the power to get the ball back by playing defense and stopping the other team.

Kickoffs hace been rendered almost irrelevant with the new rules anyway. Most are touchback a and the blocking rules make covering them pretty easy.

I wish it were a little longer, but if it's the same for both teams I don't see why it matters unless you just hate lots of scoring.

One of the best rules in sports, takes the tension to a whole different level.
