If I was the Czar of the NFL

That is ridiculous. NFL has global appeal.
They can call it NIFL for all care. So long as teams stay true.

your,e correct.it would be like limiting a businesse,s expansion.

You have all that with streaming with a very good internet connection, can watch any game. Main drawback is you can’t pause games and then repeat at will, or get condensed version. That’s what Youtube is after, IMO. Haven’t tried them yet for NFL and doubt I will unless forced by a Spanish Inquisition type movement.

I watch till I get to live TV, then switch to the next game till it gets the live TV then the next, etc. and then I go back to the first game and pick up where I left off. I can watch four or five games in the morning, with no effort at all. And repeat in the afternoon can’t do that streaming not that easily not by a long shot.
You’re gonna have to take my six shooter PVR from my cold, dead hand.

I'm not really for teams outside the continent. I am however for the international games. I would actually expand the number of foreign games until all of the teams that get the 1 extra home game are playing that game in a neutral stadium. They don't all have to be in Europe. They could go to Australia, Japan, Brazil and cities in the US that don't have NFL franchises.

I wonder how many here realize that in there used to be 6 preseason games that were very often held in cities that didn't have a franchise. This was done to try to build more fans in those areas. Believe it or not it worked.

Teams get a cap discount on players they drafted as a reward for drafting well.

 

[Tahuyaman]

1. Hire full time refs

2. Expand the schedule to 18 games with two byes for each team

3. I would tell cheapskate Spanos, he is done playing in SoFi and will either build his own stadium find some other stadium to play in.

4. Force the Haslem's to sell the team. You shouldn't be a convicted felon and be allowed to own the team.

5. Expand the league starting with a team in Canada, a team in Mexico city than international starting with a team in Germany.

Full time refs needs to happen.

If anything the season should go back to 14 or 16 games.

American football is an American sport. No more of this foreign nonsense.

Ban that Taylor Twat bitch from all NFL games.

Ban all announcer talk of Taylor Twat.

It’s not ridiculous. American football is a strictly American thing. Canada has their own league. Mexico has soccer. Europe has soccer and rugby.

Teams overseas will hurt the sport. Of course some aren’t going to be happy until they’ve whittled it down to a flag football league.

Challenge ridiculous penalties maybe that team can check on replay? Max 2 challenged penalties per game. Not sure, but think I read in another thread that you can already do that? I haven’t a clue but would be a good idea, and help the refs do a better job.

Yea... if we're to allow challenges for penalties they should be strictly limited to maybe 1 per half with the downside being the same loss of a TO if it's denied. I think other (current) challenges should be only limited to the number of TOs the team has... no 2 per half limitation. If the challenge is successful they keep the challenge, and a firm time limit to make the call would be strictly enforced from the time the ref is at the screen, otherwise the call stands.

 

[Wazmankg]

You are correct and I do. But a 5 hour game arguing officiating cock ups is not good TV. And it also impacts the following game.

I know how it feels to get fucked by official rule interpretation.

Case in point:

A certain player goes way up in close contact, snags the ball with one hand and while still in the air, transfers the ball to the other hand all while still in the air and with a defender on him, lands with 2 feet in bounds, takes the under control 3rd step and dives to the end zone. Extending his arm and upon contact with the ground (which cannot cause a fumble) seperates from the ball.
Humongous catch few could make. But some trained chimp deemed it otherwise.

Yea, that was a catch.. and so was Calvin Johnson's.

3 things that definitely need to be changed.

Offsides is on whomever crosses the line first(or moves first in the case of the offense). There are no free plays either. Whistle it dead as soon as it is seen. Players get hurt on those free plays plus the entire rule is retarded and always takes 5 minutes to sort out who they are penalizing.

No such thing as an automatic first down. Penalties are yards and if the yards are enough for a first down then fine, otherwise they get the yards and another play. I am sick of seeing 4th and 49 on their own 20 yard line and then they get a 5 yard holding or hands to the face penalty and it is an automatic first down. Again, that is retarded.

Finally same with spot fouls (usually DPI). Penalty yards are half the distance to the spot. If that is enough for a first down then fine. Sick of the ball being placed on the 1 yard line on questionable calls or if balls are even catchable.

Hands to the face shouldn't be an automatic first down, but defensive holding is different. That is preventing a potential play from happening, and estimating the yard value of that hold could be 5 yards up to a potential TD.

Half the distance is arbitrary, seems meaningless to me.

 

[Wazmankg]

Outlaw the tush push ... again... and I have nothing against the Eagles, but I just hate that rugby crap. Also both teams get 1 shot with the ball on offense in OT regardless of whether the initial possession results in a TD.

Unless all teams are required to play one game abroad each year (would make the home/away balance even out in a 17 game season), it's not really fair given the impact of the travel.

Just make OT 5 minutes, no sudden death (for regular season). If it ends in a tie, so be it. In the playoffs, a tie means another 5 minutes.

 

[Tahuyaman]

Why should a team get a free time out because there’s two minutes left in a half?

Why does a receiver need two feet in bounds to make a catch, but only one knee or elbow in bounds?

Why is defensive holding a five yard penalty and an automatic first down, but offensive holding is a ten yard penalty and replay the down?

Why does a defensive player get penalized for a face-mask penalty, but a running back can grab a face-mask and rip a defender’s helmet off with no penalty?

In a league which claims to be about player safety, why are they playing on a Sunday, then as soon as Thursday?

There’s a thing in certain types of business that you always want to leave people wanting more. The NFL seems to be wanting to oversaturate the market.

outlaw announcers from calling games for teams they played for like aikman and romo and theisman

I haven’t seen Theisman on a broadcast lately. Aikman does not appear to favor his former team. Neither does Romo.

A couple of years ago they experimented with airing games with no announcers. I liked it. Of course you can always turn the sound off. I do that nowcwith Chris Collinsworth.

Get rid of Goodell and his cronies - nuff' said.....

His cronies are the owners and agents

Yeah everything should be built by children slaves in China or Bangladonkey. Children slaves are an under utilized resource. There's billions to create profits from.
