Rules that should be changed

5 hour games won't be fun to watch.

? Why do you hate having fun

They are terrible though. It is for the players' own protection.

While some are just dumb or need an explanation the hide and seek celebration was awesome. Or the always classic bowling one. I'm personally a fan

If you fumble the ball into the endzone, it should be an automatic turnover. Ball should revert to your opponent's 25 yard line.

What? This is even worse than the current rules, as it doesn't even require the defense to gain possession if the fumble remains in the end zone.

Game would take too long.

Why are you guys assuming that challenging a penalty would take more time than challenging, say, if the running back's knee was down? I am not advocating that teams have more challenges, just that everything should be reviewable. This wont make the game longer in the slightest bit.

So again, I have not seen one valid argument against being able to review anything.

Typo. It should NOT be an automatic turnover. You shouldn't lose the ball just because you fumble into the end zone. That's what i was saying.

If you fumble and it goes out of bounds, he fumbling team should retain possession but lose field position.

This may be unpopular, but screw instant replay! Get rid of it, make the refs full time, and add another refs downfield. Make them make a call, and just efing live with it! Instant replay, has slowed the game down, made the most exciting plays boring! You wanna jump our of your seat and scream TOUCHDOWN when your team scores, not go grab a beer from the fridge and wait to see if its really a TD! With out replay you know what a catch is?......and effing catch! Thats all a catch, looks like a catch great, then its a catch!

Okay, phew. Then we agree. Though I would probably put it at the 20.

This.

I honestly would prefer if this were actual football again. While I am in favor of all of the rules to protect players, I'd like if some of the rules that favored the offense were eliminated. I didn't have a problem with the way the Seahawks DBs played when that defense was at their height. My issue was, all of the teams weren't allowed to play that way. I'd also eliminate all instant replay, save for coach's challenges and actual scores. Higher more officials if necessary, but instant replay as it as has to go. I, like many other fans, have no idea what a catch is anymore.

Why stop the clock on an incomplete pass?

because I want a game that last longer than 60 mins

There would be have as many plays as now and teams wouldn't have enough timeouts.

Finally!
