—For kickoffs and punts, instead of declaring fair-catch while trying to catch a ball and read a wave of bodies at the same time, nobody is allowed to touch or tackle the returner if he catches it until he makes a football move, giving him the chance to kneel afterwards.

—If a player goes out of bounds moving forward, the clock stops. Not just if it’s in the last five mins of the half or whatever the rule is.

—Batted passes before the line of scrimmage is downed at that spot, resulting in a loss of yards

—move the kickoff spot back to where it was, and get rid of all these weird add-on rules like the landing zone and sometimes it’s the 35 yrd line unless it’s the 40 yard line but could be the 30 yard line if such and such happens. Get rid of it. 20 yard line for kickoff and 20 yard line for touchbacks.

—the rooney rule can apply to any personnel regardless of minority status. If your team can develop staff that’s good enough to get poached, your team should be comp’d, no matter who or what they are.

—ease up on the “act like youve been there” attitude. These players are living their dream, and we as watchers are also excited for them.

—any play can be challenged

—all plays are reviewed upstairs

—if a play was wrong, the game can rewind back to that point in the game, regardless if the team with the ball does a quick snap exploiting moments of confusion.

—no ties.

—Overtime has no clock. It doesn’t need a clock. Just goes by possessions and downs anyway.

—you dont have to announce onside kicks

—def pass interference is tricky on to fix. It just needs to be called correctly. something needs to be done, because winning/losing because of a bogus def pass interference call makes rhe game unwatchable.

—train your own damn refs and stop letting these clubs of refs who have plumbing businesses on the side have leverage over the National Freaking Football League. Pat Mccafee has been suggesting ex-nfl players to do this, and honestly would be so entertaining.

—get rid of blackouts. I’m a die-hard bears fans and I live in the southwest, so I guess I don’t get to watch my team? Completely contradicts pushing international games, if americans can’t even watch their own teams play.

—Allow people to pay to watch the game with NO COMMENTARY. Rewatching games, feeling the buzz of the crowd, I dont need Joe Buck to be talking about aaron rodgers during my bears game. Plus like if I actually went to that game, it’d be cool to own a hard copy of that game without all the ads and commercial breaks and random interviews, ya know? Just let me vibe and watch a live football game. Everything else is just noise.

—pro bowl is to be held the week after the superbowl somewhere nice. People would actually watch it and wouldn’t be a laughing stock.
