- One foot down inbounds for a completion. This would speed up the game because there would be far fewer challenges to the calls. It's a lot easier to see one foot down than two feet down. It would also open up the offense just a tad, and perhaps create some more scoring.
- No more PATs. You always have to go for two. The PAT is boring. They rarely miss. There is rarely any drama. The two point conversion, on the other hand, is never certain, but could often yield drama.
- A fumble is a fumble. If a fumble is called on the field, there should be no reviewing. The players need to hold on to the ball until they get up from the tackle. Who cares if the ground caused the fumble? Hold on to the ball.
- No more sudden death over-times. Each offense should get an equal number of cracks at the end zone. NCAA football OTs, any soccer and any hockey league's shoot outs are always way more exciting, and somehow seem more fair.
There you go. If the NFL adopts the above rule changes, we'd all be happier on Sunday afternoons (unless you're like me and cheering for the Chiefs this year).
