Wonderful-sarc. That would allow average qb's to complete just 2 passes in the final minute of play to set up a game winning field goal along with the accompanying drum roll.

The NFL want's it's qb's to succeed. Throw in a bad interference call and it's good for business.

We're being played.

So true. NFL wants scoring and under 2 minute drives to dominate the games

I assume that a few compilers and odds makers in Vegas determined that doing so would raise betting revenue.

The day Colon Krapernik took a knee was the last time I paid attention to the NFL. That said, videos like the one below demonstrate how great some football was, and how far it has fallen.

Move kickoffs back to the way there were before this idiotic change.

Awarding more yards they didn’t earn. Remember when touchbacks were starting on the 20 yard line? How come the kicking team gets nothing for a good kickoff? If the ball gets kicked out of the back end zone then start at the 25. If the receiver touches it down in the end zone then start at the 30. That should be the most generous yard line to ever start from barring a penalty on the play. NFL rules becoming like Govt welfare assistance to the able bodied.
