7 Rule Changes That Would INSTANTLY Make The NFL Better

[@thelandonian5767]

The two things I agree with are the taunting and wide receiver interceptions. It's honestly ridiculous that wide receivers don't get blamed for tipped balls on stat sheets.

[@jay7568]

But what if the qb throws the ball just enough for the receiver to touch it but not catch it like in the bills vs rams game last night where Stafford threw a little to high for Kupp to catch it would they still be blamed or would the qb or would both be credited for half an interception

Omg statistics that rule is phenomenal 🤓🤓

[@OnJahseh]

It sounds logical until you realize sometimes it's still the qb's fault even when the receiver tips it, such as if it was just far enough the receiver could only get a finger on it. It would become a huge mess in those situations where blame can be argued for either side so it's much simpler to put it on the qb

[@Supra_Mickey]

For OT I think they should adapt the college rules

[@brianbritton6555]

The one college rule I don't like is one foot in it's a catch NFL is 2 ft if they switch that for college then most receivers would be ready for the NFL because it would be implanted in their brain that they have to get two feet in

[@chadmerrifield227]

Yeah, have them each get a possession started at their own 25, instant touchback to start. Only a turnover for a touchdown can end overtime after first possession. At least in Playoffs so we don't have a BillsvChiefs coin flip decides the game kind of thing happen again

[@brianbritton6555]

@@chadmerrifield227 I was basically saying each team needs a possession but if they both score on that it keeps going until there is a winner so if someone scores a second time or kicks a field goal automatic win but if someone doesn't score with their possession on their first after the other team already scored they lose

[@chadmerrifield227]

@@brianbritton6555 For sure don't change any gameplay rules, but use the college OT template. My only change would be the the starting spot. Where as college teams start just outside the RedZone (or at 20yd line, don't remember) I suggest they start as if they just got a touchback, or they could do a kickoff. Either way, make them drive the length of the field for a score. If there's turnover without a score then then they change possession with a kickoff/auto touchback. Continue OT periods until there is not a tie after 2 possesions. Maybe force teams to attempt a 2pt conversion on TDs starting the 3rd OT period

[@OldSchool3pts]

Taunting Allowed = Better Rivalries 1pt for KO FG = Kickers being more Valued

[@MegaDirtPotato]

I think for QB Passing Yards, it depends on what happens during the catch. If it's a perfect pass hitting the receiver in stride so he can easily keep running, I think the QB deserves some credit. But if the QB throws a tight in-space catch and the WR somehow escapes a tackle, that's not the QB's correct reading and accurate passing, that's pure WR star power. But that might be a bit hard to gauge. Absolutely love the rest as is though!

[@elijahcademartori9854]

If you know football, it's often the former and not the latter. I hate hearing these takes.

[@txsportsfreak02]

The yards after catch and interception rules changes would only change the stat sheet and not the actual game. So no on those. The others I love. Especially the ball through the goal posts.

[@vesubioromo9425]

Rule 6 is an absolute KEEPER. I've never understood why the QB is charged with an INT if his pass hits the receiver in the hands and it bounces off into a defender. It's like charging the QB for a turnover when the back fumbles after taking a clean handoff.

[@gbrow1604]

Most of the time a lot of the blame is on the QB if it was either a bad pass or they shouldn't have thrown it into that coverage.

[@scottdorsch5149]

It’s barely a rule. It has no real effect on the game, so maybe only people who love fantasy football will care about this.

I wanna further your point on kickoffs through the uprights on kickoff attempts, if you put through the uprights from that distance it should be an extra 3 points lol atleast in my opinion but I always thought about that and how it could potentially change the outcome of many games ive seen over the years.

[@iluvmoshing5216]

Exactly! I've heard this a couple of times. People aren't thinking this through. RBs would be carried up field and THEN tackled! Makes no sense...

[@blueberry-rw1kr]

the YAC rule is hard to implement since you gotta go find a way to change peyton manning and drew bree’s stats and honestly who has the time. sometimes the qb should also be credited with finding the best receiver and putting the ball exactly where it need to be to produce YAC. e.g. patrick mahomes placing the ball where only tyreek can get it. there was also this okay where brady hit a receiver on a short crossing route but it’s because he knew that the type of coverage would allow the receiver to run all the way to the end zone

[@AquaticGamZe]

Yeah fun fact too Mahomes has had more Yards after catch every singular year of his career over Brady including leading the league in it the last 2 years, this dudes ignorant af "but really he just copied this list off someone else" like literally the entire list is copied.

[@EllieVelli]

I think it’s funny that I’m the only one slightly offended by this suggestion because it’s one sided. If that was the case the receiver should only be credited with the YAC not the amount of yards the QB actually threw the ball for. The receiver benefits just as much as the QB does here. Also with that being said, does the quarterback still get a touchdown if the receiver runs it in?

[@frankbarajas]

I really like number 6, defected interception should go against the WR. That's a no brainer. that should already exist.

[@youngjordanfc9763]

5 & 6 I agree with 💯

[@johnvo5242]

The YAC make no sense to change, the QB throw the ball at the target to led the receiver catch in stride so they can go get yard. The receiver can’t all get YAC if the QB just throw a crappy ball.

[@FireMedic312]

If #5 happened Receivers do not get credit for the yards the ball travels from the QB until they actually catch it. Only the yards after. Sorry WR’s catching anything over 15 yards…

If the receiver falls down, tips the ball to another player, or lets It go right through his hands, that's not the quarterback's fault.

[@delscott958]

A rule change I believe would help evolve the NFL and make it more competitive is allowing the defense to have an extra man (12) on the field for a series at least twice a game (determined by head coach) with the option for a third in exchange for a play challenge request or combine them with no challenges to have one whole quarter with 12 on the field (HC option). With the now obvious advantages of these complex offenses along with these new dynamic Qb’s that’s coming in the league with the ability to throw and run. It could help with the balance and keeping these defenses from being at a constant disadvantage against these high powered offenses that’s so hard to stop, coupled with threat of a penalty every play while trying to defend against Qb’s that can now tuck and run for huge gains constantly, especially if coverage is good or play breaks down. This really does give the offense the element of an extra man every snap. What you guys think about it? Feedback, opinions, and insight welcomed.

[@Bigboidagoat]

[@PastarocketS-sb7nk]

@@EyeSeeDeadPeople44 First of all, you have to look at the definition of the word interception. It means that whatever doesn't make it to the desired location. Once it makes it to its destination, the quarterback has done his job. He can't go down the field and catch it for the team. He can't go down there and knock it down or out of the oppositions hands. Therefore, it should only be called an interception and charged to the QB if the ball doesn't make it to the receiver. Whether it is underthrown, or overthrown, same thing. Once it bounces off the receiver, and into the hands of the opposition, it is called a deflection and charged to the receiver. Then they'll have a negative stat attached to their legacy. Think of all the great quarterbacks from the past. How many times have they hit their receivers in the hands only for the ball to bounce up and be snagged by the corner back or safety? Then they get the negative stat added to their interception record, totally not right.

@@PastarocketS-sb7nk so who makes the decision on if the pass was under thrown or over thrown,and all the other things?come on man that would ruin the game big time.im not saying the interception is always the quarterbacks fault but it would be a stupid rule to change.you guys want too much 🤣...for all that why not let the receiver and quarterback switch places?Do y'all realize what y'all asking for?🤦‍♂️

[@EyeSeeDeadPeople44]

@@PastarocketS-sb7nk oh and another thing,there's a lot of times where the ball is over or under thrown And the receiver can't catch it so he tried to bat it down so it's not intercepted.who gets charged with the interception if it's intercepted when he tried to bat it down? Regardless of any argument you try to make the quarterback threw the ball and it never got to it's destination because obviously it was intercepted 🤷‍♂️...now you can blame the wr because sometimes it is their fault but they didn't throw it to begin with.you can't say someone threw an interception if they didn't throw it.

I agree with pretty much all of them

[@hugorivera6885]

I agree with mostly all of them except number 2 and 7

[@cypressstumpwaterfowl6446]

The kick off through the field goal wouldn’t be a good idea, most kickers can kick it that far but don’t because it pointless and tryna and dot up the goal line, if it was worth a point teams would just go back and forth with points until someone misses and kick off returns wouldn’t really be a thing anymore Bc of kickers kicking behind the end zone

Ties are great, I used to agree but Chargers v Raiders last year changed my mind

[@wyattchampion9395]

Not the qb one there’s many circumstances where the wrs yards after catch are because of the qb

[@chaimsamuels7553]

I agree 100 percent agree with all of these!!

[@_C1D_]

With the tie rule I think that is because of non prime time games. If the game runs to long then a network can’t show multiple games back to back.

[@davidkunda1]

this is a nightmare for player safety…there’s a reason some rules are the way they are

[@ferretweasel6895]

fr taunting is a penalty because getting in someone’s face is bigger than football it’s personal, after taunting comes fighting

[@tanthony298]

Kickoffs through uprights should definitely be a point for kicking team and a touchback for recieving team. Edit- Tipped ints should be considered ints for the defensive player but shouldnt count against the qb.

[@jfoster8624]

The defender already gets credit for the int and no it should be the QB's fault tips are generally because the pass wasn't 100% on target or too far and fast ECT

[@EyeSeeDeadPeople44]

@@jfoster8624 I agree with you 100%...how you gonna charge a receiver with an interception when he's trying his best to catch a ball that's clearly off target.i barely agreed with any of these wack ass rules changes 🤦‍♂️

[@salty_nugget100]

Qbs should get yards after catch as long as the wr doesn't get touched in any way, if there's contact then the yards don't count, if there's not the qb should get them

[@APEXoftheAVATAR]

All good except the yards after catch. This would monumentally change fantasy football in ways no one could predict. But I'm down for the rest. I also propose that for the team celebration, we give the 30 seconds to celebrate. That way the coaches, staff, and other players can join in!

[@kholodub]

No taunting it’d cause fights if it’s encourages but the rest are alright

[@Nyjetsfan1289]

Agree with every one except #5…

[@jerichlopez9460]

Another rule change could be when a qb is hit and throws the ball away, make it count as a pass deflection for the player hitting the qb.

[@Mrs.DG-DJJMC]

I don’t agree with the kickoff one because what if they do make it and the people returning won’t get a chance most likely

[@Jefe-v9m]

Fact's

[@lucasjacobs2928]

Lets talk about the 1p kickoff. The NFL should really think about this for player safety. If the Kickers try to hit the 1p there would be way less kickoff returns and this is still the most dangerous part of Football.
