Like I said, take away the inches and add the rest on the other end. The way it is now gives the offense liberty to take all kinds of penalties. First and ten from the four is not much different than first and twelve from the two. But it's a lot different than first and twenty from the two. The offense can hold, block from behind, grab face masks and do anything they want knowing that even if they get caught it's only a few yards.

If I'm not mistaken, most of those penalties also include automatic first down. If it's on a first and goal, they could add another down.

I'd do just the opposite. Inside the from yard line 3 points. 10-20 yard line 2 points, over 20 past the twenty yard line 1 point. That would encourage teams to go for the first down more often and give them credit for all of the yards gained. Maybe give four points for inside the five yard line.

It's a team game. I think that the team should be rewarded for being about to advance the ball further down the field. Now, a team that gets the ball all the way to the one yard line gets the same reward as a team that only gets it to the 25. And if the team has an especially good long ball kicker, the rest of the offense doesn't have to play that well. Get the ball to the 40 and let the kicker put points on the board.

Horse collar tackles an immediate disqualification.

Long field goals worth LESS. 60 yard field goals are ridiculous. Teams should be rewarded for advancing the ball

You only need 2 feet down, no need to take several steps.

These posts are some of the craziest ideas I have ever heard. The game is fine as it is. If it isn’t broke don’t fix it

I agree. It's a dangerous injury. Eagles tight end, Dallas Goedert is still out after being fouled by a Redskin's defensive player. The guy held on to his facemask for five yards before dragging him down. No penalty called.

The Fake Injury
 

Eagles have been getting burned by this in just about every game. Happened again today. It's third and ten. Hurtz gains nine yards. The team runs up to the line and tries to run a Qback sneak on fourth and one. A defensive player falls down because obviously the defense wants to get more lineman in the game.

The league has finally handed out a fine for this to Saints defensive end Cam Jordan for last Monday night game.

The Eagles weren't actually burned today. On that fourth and one, Hurts pitched the ball out to Sanders who did an end run for 12 yards. This year, the Eagles can gain 12 yards by sneezing.

Agreed. They do that even when they are losing by three touchdowns in the fourth quarter. Look at me, look at me! Such rubbish.
Give the ball to the official and get off the field. Act like you have done it before. If you want to dance, join the Rockettes.

Yeah. One or the best football sayings I’ve heard…

When you get to the end zone, act like you’ve been there before.
