I know this has been done but a couple of things have been bugging me. When one of the Niners jumped over the LOS on 3rd and goal from the 1 for the Panthers it got me thinking. That should have been a first down. It would have been a 1st down had the goal line not been there. Why should the D get a free shot like that ? Anyway, this isn't about that play or yesterday's game. I didn't really care who won. A couple of proposed changes
- All penalties should be walked off down to the 1 yard line if the offending team is backed up. None of this "half the distance to the goal line" stuff. Why should the D get a break on a penalty just because they've allowed the other team to penetrate that far ?
- In the above situation if walking off the actual distance of the penalty would have given the offense a 1st down they should be awarded a 1st down.
- PI should be a 15 yarder instead of a spot foul. No more 50 yard penalties. (I know this is controversial, but the passing game gets enough breaks and I already proposed 2 changes that would benefit offenses).
If you object, explain why... or add your own rule change proposals.
