    Guess we find out tomorrow if the "tush push/brotherly shove" is banned. Packers are a whiny bunch for wanting it banned. Just because they can't stop it or execute it.

    Rule Change: Both teams will get the ball in OT now (in regular season). It's still 10 minutes though. Guess you can take the kickoff, run 10 minutes off the clock and kick a FG as time expires. That would keep the 2nd team from getting the ball. (Steelers fans gotta remember the Eagles running a 10+ minute drive to finish out that game last year, right.)

    I really do hate the dumb kickoff rules with the dudes standing there staring at each other.

    I'd like to see the 4th & 15 replace the onsides kick. Of course, then you're just an illegal contact away from keeping the ball, so there's that.

    Let's wait to see some data regarding injuries on the kickoffs.  Two guys running at each other at 15mph is a lot of force.

    Just do college football OT rules, it's way better than anything the NFL has done.

    I think the uncertainty around the time with teh college OT rules prevents them from going down that path.  The NFL has always been very focused on ending the games on time, or within a reasonable time.

    Geno for $37.5Mil or Dak for $65Mil, pretty clear what the better value is.

    I can see your position....and I know I sound like an old man (wobbie) but if you don't want to be subject to the OT rules, win the game in regulation.  
    I think the playoffs are different and am in favor of full quarters adding on (no different rules during them) and playing until there is no tie.

    I love baseball but already miss football, even if the team I root for looks like a joke.  
    Football is the best.
    Hockey playoffs starting up will help

    So you want them to play full 15-minute quarters repeatedly until it's not tied anymore? Dang. They're trying to get this done in a reasonable amount of time.

    Maybe modify the rules in OT so you kick off from the 20 instead of the 35, to make the drives easier. Or, hell, kick off from the goal line.

    I get that the NFL is the most popular sport in America…..but does ESPN really have to talk about it 365 days of the year? yeah, the draft is coming up….to my mind, there’s about five uncertainties worth talking about and it doesn’t have to be discussed day after day after day.

    Only in playoffs. 
    For sure not in regular season.
