NFL say they are all about the health and safety but yet want a 18 week game and just 1 bye lmao.....yep just coat that "safety" more

[@reillylawrence7129]

Is it weird that the part of this that bothers me is that you have to declare an onside kick? I know that it is often obvious, but I love the occasional surprise onside kick

[@reggieorourke6478]

This rule change will make Pat’s solo surprise onside kick even more iconic, because no one will ever even have the opportunity to try it again

[@jaredgiven9128]

I'll also miss the surprise onside kick. One thing I don't understand: why limit onside kicks to 4th quarter and team from behind only? Seems like an unnecessary restriction to strategy

[@TangySapling164]

This sounds like a nightmare to officiate.

[@clintonreisig]

Kickoff used to be EXCITING

[@SirPhilosopher]

Dude, killin the onside kick is a dealbreaker. The best thing about it was that you didn’t know when they were going to do it and it was just up to how smart of a coach you were to anticipate it or not you know just kinda like how you call every single other play in football

[@user-ci5lz5nl7k]

We don't stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.

[@GovMode]

Love how they’ll change rules but nothing bout ref

[@traviszander]

I absolutely HATED the calling of Fair Catch OUTSIDE of the endzone automatically being a touchback. The ball is IN the field of play! You gotta run that.

[@dannyrozell7227]

The opening kickoff of the any game, the Super Bowl especially, is the money shot for every game. The flash of hundreds or thousands of cameras as the kicker comes up on the ball is one of the best images and moments and sports and it turns into a real dud of a moment when the ball sails out of the end zone or the receiving team fair catches. Excited to see if this brings more excitement back to special teams.

[@JCJeffrey]

I miss kick off returns! Move the kicking team to the 5 yard line 😑

[@garillomode]

How about fix the awful roughing the passer enforcement first

[@JediMentat]

I miss kick return specialists that people feared. Can't wait to see it back in the game

[@surgebaron1860]

At this point just kill the kickoff entirely and give the receiving team the ball, no kick. This is a horrible proposal. R.I.P Football 1872 - 2006

[@O4C209]

I want a 70 yard field goal kick. That's the kick off.

[@justindonald8792]

This sounds like the nfl wants more games to end 70-20 and a lot more super high scoring games

[@Actionronnie]

I'll go off the board.

When Pat admits a mistake from minutes ago under his breathe you know he's passionately talking about this stuff.
