How about something like when a team scores they have the option to get the ball back but they start on their own one yard line and it’s already 3rd and 10.

Get rid of kicking all together, I hate it and it really has nothing to do with football....ergo have to go for it on 4th down every time, man would that make the game so much more exciting.

What is worse than a team that played it's heart out and a punt is muffed, or a snap over the punter's head, that shite pisses me off.

Okay reality stuff.

No more def encroachment.. as it was.

Tackling of all players...as it was.

Challenge PI calls.

Challenge any call.

That stupid arse rule fumbling the ball out of the end zone is a turn over.

If any part of the QB that is pass the line of scrimmage is illegal fwd pass.

QBs can't slide...as it were.

Only one ball can be used provided by the NFL, no more kick off balls, teams balls, PAT balls, FG balls, etc... ONE ball, learn to play with it pussys.

Any penalty called that has nothing to do with the play will be nullified, IE a WR who lines up off sides, holding on any kick off, etc etc.

Delay game will be called by a ref in the booth strictly adhering to the clock instead of on field refs judgement. They get it right all the time in basketball it isn't that hard.

Holding will only be a 5 yrd penalty.

PI- no longer have to turn to make a play on the ball, def is def how ever you defend it.

OFF PI will be called A LOT more, Antonio Brown would have half the catches he has if they called that, yes shrugging a guy off 10 yards before the ball gets there helps you catch it cheaters.

No more automatic review in last 2 min, has to be challenged by team.

No more automatic review on score or turnover. you're wasting my time....that is why you get challenges.

you can line up over the long snapper again...as it were.

I didn't really care for the Rugby style pile pushing rule change, go back.

I dunno, I would change the entire game, it's awful anymore.

I’d like to see them slap advertisements on everything and cut out the commercials

Definitely need a clear catch rule (The Pitt vs Patriots game catch)

2. Running clock, (clock doesn’t stop for incomplete passes or going out of bounds until the final 2 mins of each half)

3. 15 yard PI penalty

4. Go for 2 for every TD

5. College OT Rules

6. Challenge anything in the game Plays or Penalties, but do the same as the nfl, you get 2 and if you get them both right you get a 3rd challenge. But allow penalties to be reviewed.

7. Less late hits on QBs called, Less PI called, less targeting called.

Could work especially if they let the broadcasters talk about sponsorship throughout the games

3) Pass interference is not a spot foul. 15 yards and an automatic 1st down.


The biggest problem with pass interference is the inconsistency in calls and that the offensive player gets away with it so much more.

Only punts- no field goals or kickoffs. Ball starts on the 20 instead of a kickoff and "go for two" from the 3 for 1 point or from the 10 for 2 points.

No halftime, clock runs between plays except under two minutes. Under two minutes the clock stops for going out of bounds and the college clock rule for first downs applies.

No holding on linemen on either side of the ball.

Ditch replay all together. I would hate losing replay in games I really care about, but for pure entertainment purposes, I want to see it go.

Actually, could have split screen commercials like they do in NASCAR sometimes. No game stoppage or tv timeouts.

1 time-out per team per half
Running clock except for last 2 minutes of each half.
No commercials. Side scroll ads during the game instead.
Go for 2 after touchdown. No extra points.

Only penalties that are automatic first downs are personal fouls. All other should mark off the penalty yardage and if that results in a first, good. If not, same down to get that remaining distance.

Fumbling out the back of the endzone remains your ball, but back at the 15 or 20.

Raising your hands to entice the ref in calling any penalty is a 30 yard penalty on you.

They can start with designing simpler, Occam's razor, retro-based uniforms, XFL does not need to consist of futuristic, overly complex uniform designs will turn football consumers like myself off IMMEDIATELY
