but kicks and punts are completely different from advancing the ball forward and have their own completely different set of rules

so why do we not change every single rule with regards to the ball and the endzone? why are incompletions into the endzone not considered a change in possession like fumbles are? if endzones are so humongously different, why do we only completely change the rules to the game in one certain circumstance?
Lol, on that note, good night man. Until next time this happens

that is literally what you are saying is ok and makes sense

Your argument is "rules are rules bro"
Would you not agree that there are dumb rules in everything in life? Should we never complain about them?

Wait so there are zones at the ends of the field that have different rules?
Yes, and they all make sense and make it possible for the game to exist except one really random, stupid one.
There is already a built-in benefit if the defense actually recovers the ball in the endzone (possession plus ball at the 20). Gaining possession when you let the other team march it down to your goal line and don't even recover the ball is silly.

Yeah it’s a terrible rule.

and further more, im confused as to why you think that is ridiculous. you mean to tell me that you cant just willy nilly alter the fundamental rules of football because the endzone is involved? oh really? tell me more

The end zone belongs to the defense. If you fumble the ball in their end zone and don’t recover it, it is theirs. If you possess the ball and advance into it, you score, but again, the ball is now theirs. The rule is consistent and makes sense.
The argument is not that rules are rules and everything is correct. The argument is that within the framework of the game, that endzone belongs to the defense. This is very clear. The end zone has its own set of rules not because it is inconsistent, but because it is a different area of the field and the most important area of the field.
How come a foul in the box in Soccer is a penalty kick and not just a free kick like the rest of the field? The box is treated differently becausd it is the most important area on the field and has different rules apply to it. This analogy is far from perfect, but is used to illustrate that other games have different rules for different areas of the field.

So you think it makes more sense to adhere to your arcane endzone rules than follow what happens anywhere else on a fumble?
Aight
Aight

That's a benefit to the offense that has advanced the ball into the defense's key area.
The fumble rule would be like giving team A a PK if the forward on team B tackled the defender of team A in team A's box.

Gain 11 from the 50, keep possession and score no points.
Gain 11 from the 10, lose possession and score 6 or more points.
OMG why’s that different?!?!?!

Sean Payton got cute and it bit him the arse once again
You give it to Ingram there and if close enough do the Brees jump on 4th down or kick a FG. Not give it to a WR who apparently can't get open because we have 1 WR and then let him fumble.

You can make the points when you take the ball from me

On the 50 the ball is spotted where it's fumbled
On your second example it's a touchback
Thanks for proving WCAs point

The guy who is a fan of a team that was recently in the Big 12 can only empathize with the offense and wants to change perfectly good rules so the offense can score more points. I'm shocked.

You people are like the few girlfriends I’ve tried to explain an intentional safety to. “But that GIVES them points? That don’t make no since!”
Posted on 12/17/18 at 11:36 pm to xiv
So baws should just start accidentally let the ball go out of bounds forward when they're being tackled?
That makes perfect "since"
