[@theinvictussamaritan4778]

NachoSupreme 3416 C’mon, Saints fans ain’t the only ones complaining. It’s just a big problem because some teams are built offensively, some defensively. Take the Chiefs for example, we couldn’t see Patrick Mahomes answer after his 32nd ranked defense allowed a TD drive in the AFC Championship and that really stinks for all nfl fans.

DiehardMechWarrior I would bet money that there will be tons of redos on the “no-movement until returner catches it or something”.

[@Ralkila]

Here is my 2 cents... The sport already has the athletes having tremendous consequences in their physic due to the high intense contact, now, this rules will double or triple the amount of contact and or sprinting time, less pauses and more fatigue. This will make injuries and seizures more common and destructive.

[@youtubeisbroken241]

Friedrich Nietzsche by putting the players closer to each other? I feel we will see less injuries (assuming all the nfl safety based rules are on place). No hitting a defenseless receiver, roughing the passer, etc. It looks like in this league, being light and having endurance will outweigh being heavy and good at tackling.

This rule prevents the game from becoming pure offense. Football is a game with an offense and a defense, not just offense. There is no reason 2 championship teams should be able to not stop the opposite from scoring a td. If this is the case, the NFL is going the wrong way. The way that favors pure offense instead of a balance between offense and defense.

The one foot inbounds is actually in college football, where the idea for the OT format kind of comes from, though they modified it so it looks more like hockey, as well.

Overtime rule is great.. I think the double forward pass behind the line of scrimmage is going to open up the playbook a lot...

[@keatonhatch6213]

Tim Wiyninger do you really though?.. it still has to be behind the line of scrimmage that’s not changing much other than it doesn’t have to be a lateral. it’s not like QB will drop back 20 yards to throw the pass so really it’s gonna be a forward pass of a max 4-5 yards that’s not changing much from the lateral pass. 2 forward passes anywhere on the field would open the play book up a lot.

[@TDarvin]

@@keatonhatch6213 could make a screen option with a forward pass to the side line... if there is enough room downfield run it.. if you see an open guy throw it.. since the double pass is legal.. once the first pass is thrown.. safety's cant come up to collapse the play if there is a chance of throwing it over the top.

[@poisonpotato1]

I’m not sure, all the time people say qbs are not supposed to back across the field because it’s easily intercepted/defended, but all of the double forward passes shown here were exactly that. Still interesting though

[@vamoscruceros]

I could see a shovel pass followed by a jump pass becoming common. The rule could also force defenses to step up in late game situations - drop too many guys into coverage, then react to a back catching a pass, and you can get burned by a receiver who is now open.

[@blessredy]

That rule alone is going to turn off a lot of the Die-hard football fans. You can't reinvent the Football wheel here in America. Real football fans don't want to see trick plays every single passing down. But in this league it's required just to move the ball past the scrimmage line with a passing play. Don't blink! This League won't last.

[@tray22]

The double forward pass and the overtime rules are my favorite. It completely makes sense that you can pass forward as long as it is behind the line of scrimmage. This would make a backup QB more of an option during games when your lead QB is still playing.

Seems the obvious thing to do is go for 3 after every touchdown unless you say only need 1 point to win or go ahead. Given the cushion it's actually easier I would think to get 10 yards in The End Zone opening up your playbook a little bit to wear one or five yards it's very limited what you can do. And even if you miss the 3 point conversion the first time if you make it the second time it's still better than going for 1. I think this needs to be thought out better.

[@ericvansickle4305]

So overtime is like the kicks from the spot in soccer.

[@ane-rikkenoe779]

In terms of counting points, yes, but the full 2 teams will be on the field on every play as opposed to 2 players in soccer, so it will be pretty different! Maybe there will be more backups specializing in the short-field plays? I imagine O-line and D-line players will be very important for those.

I love these unique rules. The 1, 2, and 3 point conversions are pretty fun. It'll make games much more mathematically interesting in it's own right. And the double forward pass seems more pragmatic and it could encourage more trick plays.

[@anthonycollette4583]

In overtime... let’s say Team A & Team B both get 3/5... would the extra single rounds rotate who goes first. For example. Round 6 of OT: Team A goes first, Team B goes second. For the 7th round, would Team A still go first? Or would they rotate & Team B would go first?
