dachsie Posted February 24, 2023 Share Posted February 24, 2023 What do you think about these new proposed rules? They want to shorten games and improve safety with them Prohibiting consecutive timeouts, such as icing kickers. No longer extending a first or third quarter for an untimed down if the quarter ends on a defensive penalty (the down would be clocked starting the next quarter). The clock will continue to run after an offense gains a first down except inside of 2 minutes in a half. The clock will continue to run after an incomplete pass once the ball is spotted for play.

dachsie Posted February 24, 2023 Author Share Posted February 24, 2023 (edited) My thought is the reason the games have gotten longer is because of instant replay. I dont see how the above is going to make a big difference Edited February 24, 2023 by dachsie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They want to shorten games and improve safety with them none of these rules will affect the "safety" of anybody. and the game itself is the exact same length it's always been. the reason it's so damn long has NOTHING to do with game play at all. they take every opportunity they can find to plug in a commercial break. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
houtiger Posted February 25, 2023 Share Posted February 25, 2023 I like the rules. #2 will not have much affect, quarters seldom end with a penalty. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishhead Posted March 7, 2023 Share Posted March 7, 2023 I'm good with one and two, but like Houtiger said, they're both sorta irrelevant... rare 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
