That’s the one thing Canadian football gets right. A touchback is worth one point, so you either return the kick, or concede a point.

I was listening to the Bills game this past Monday and I kept hearing about a “12-man” lineup on offense, or something like that.
What is that? Something new?

Then why even bother? Just put the ball on the 25 yard-line.

Less concussions for the league to deal withI suppose we could just give them tennis rackets and tennis balls.

And go ahead and implement Jack Lambert’s idea and make quarterbacks wear dresses.

Why not make the players wear flags and eliminate tackles.

If it was that good we’d be watching it down here. They need to change their rules to ours. That way they can be the minor league feeder the NFL needs. College football is too corrupt. Let the teenagers make a living.

Teams could have an option to receive a kick or not. Would save time...........

That rule socks. Pinning a team back was a major strategy that led to exciting football.

Concussions ain’t about good intentions
It’s about their money
The game has sure lost its punch

Another rule I would implement, is to have an option to go for a 2-point conversion, but place the ball on the 10 yard-line.
If you convert, not only do you get the two points, you get the ball back, without having to do an onsides kick.

Why not just spot the ball on the 25 yard line then?
