Players should have to be touched down.

If a player slips with no one around him, and isn't touched, he should be able to get back up and keep running.

Be pissed, but act like a man about it, not a child.
Throwing your arms up in the heat of the moment hardly makes you a child, especially if it's a big game and bad blown call (or no call). It's a really slippery slope to start deifying officials to this degree.

By rule all kickoffs are a live ball meaning the kicking team can recover it. An “onside kick” is the name of the play. Theoretically if you kicked the ball deep and the receiving team let it bounce around the kicking team can still recover it.

After a safety it’s a “free kick” which is different than a kickoff. So your proposed rule change would require several other rule changes as well. IE not a good plan.

You've misread my post or put to much into it.

I'm discussing changing the meaning of "possession," on a turnover that is returned for a score.
That's all. If I return an interception for a TD or pick up a fumble and run it back for a score.
That was done on your "possession" and you must kickoff to me.

Any player who causes an official timeout for an injury is unable to return to the field until a change of possession.

Accidentally clipping a punter's leg, shouldn't carry the same weight as barreling into him.

It should not automatically give a team a first down, which can change the entire complexion of a large number of games.

When they rightful changed the face mask rule to 15 yards or nothing, it took time for people to get used to it. Now you don't even think about it. They don't call slight, insignificant brushes, except maybe for the kickers flopping and shit.

Offensive PI should be a 10 yard penalty with loss of down.

Interesting.

-No divisions in conferences, get rid of divisions.....instead of divisions, each team in a conference simply protects one or two annual in-conference rivalry games and rotates playing against the other conference members. The two best teams in the conference play for the CCG.

-No independents

-All Power 5 conferences either go to 9 conference games with at least one of their out-of-conference games being played against another P5 opponent.......OR.......8 conference games with at least two of their out-of-conference games being played against other P5 opponents. Either one would be fine.

Get rid of it. Replace it with a rap rule like rugby. Simply if you do not attempt to rap the ball carrier it is an illegal tackle. That is something that defenders can actually control. Asking defenders to adjust in a split second on a moving target is asinine

I'm all for this, not wrapping is bitch tackling anyway.

I'd say there should not be any power 5 conferences

This has catastrophe written all over it. They call slight brushes all of the time, punters make it look worse by spinning in the air. In their attempt at an Academy Award.

Just because they changed the facemask, does not mean they should change the roughing/running into the kicker.

The problem with it, is that it's essentially a turnover. You're getting the ball and all of the sudden a rusher accidentally clips a punter? So, all of that hard-work is negated? F that noise.

Where as with the face-mask, most of the time it isn't that big of a swing. Personal fouls hurt... but not like a turnover.

Outside of the final 2 minutes in either half. If you fumble a ball forward, and it goes out of bounds. You absolutely, 100% get that yardage.

This is correct, even if it doesn't go out of bounds. You can fumble the ball five yards forward, your teammate recover it and run it for a touchdown and you get the points.

You do realize that would mean nobody could offer scholarships until the summer except for schools like Alabama who have large amounts of graduates before the season is over/sends people to the NFL right?

Because it's not football.

Neither are special teams.

It's soccer.

Those are dumb as hell.

God I hate kickers. Punters. All that crap.

Plus special teams are the most dangerous for player safety.

If you have possession of the ball with 2 feet down across the goal line it’s a td. Same issue the NFL has on catches, people are tired of the bullshit.

Bingo.

This one isn't that hard.

Current seniors would equal an available scholarship.

Then all that will happen is they will greyshirt until a scholarship opens up, same as what happens now.

Get rid of targeting, or at least do away with the ejection part and keep it a penalty.

Edit: and if you have to keep the penalty part, it can only be called in truly defenseless player situations, like a receiver making a catch or a quarterback who no longer has the ball/is in a slide giving up the play. I saw it called on guys tackling the ball carrier a couple times this year, it was mindblowingly frustrating.

I hate 12 men on the field. It's 1 thing if someone plays with 12 players on the field, but I see coaches whine and beg for a penalty when some fat ass has 1 foot still on the field. If he isn't affecting the play let it go.

I'd like to get rid of this no huddle nonsense except the last 4 minutes of each half.

Give the team a reasonable chance to substitute.
