"NFL will eventually take kicking out of the game" -Matt Prater

[Swaggasaurus]

fug getting rid of punts. If anything kickoffs and FG. Punts tho. If a team has 4th and 1 at the one and it's a turnover. The team is fuged. Oh hey team 4 chances to move the ball ten yards from the one if you don't get it you are fuged

​Unfortunately, the biggest part of their future market is young people and most of them want scoring, so they'll change it until teams are regularly putting up 50.

Well that will send Shula to the unemployment line.

Why not just merge with the AFL? I'm so tired of these dickbeaters fuging with the greatest sport on the planet.

They should just get rid of everything and have two guys from opposing teams come out to the middle of the field and flip a coin.

On 4th down, each team can bring out a their own midget. They then have their designated midget tosser hurl the little fella (or lady, lets not be sexist) as far as he can. Wherever that midget lands is where the ball is marked. 

 

 

You're welcome, NFL, for the ratings boost.

No where in the written piece does is mention punting. It said kicking. 

While I'm not in favor of them eliminating either one, with the way kick offs are currently set, they might as well just eliminate kickoffs, and start the guys at the 20 all the time. 

I don't like it, but it's  same as already there, thanks to the kickoff being from the 35, instead of the 30.

CD's, VCR's and now the punting aspect of Football... God whats next? I say we make the whole sport digital that way no one gets hurt...

Typical off season bullsh!t. They will tinker with details obviously but kicking will ALWAYS be part of the game.

If they mean just punting, then I'd actually be ok with it.  You get 4 downs to get a first down or it goes to the other team right there.  Still need kicking for kickoffs and FGs, but taking punting out completely.  Would ruffle the "old school" feathers, but I think it'd make the game more exciting in the long run.

​Let's all embrace Matt Prater's dream of no more kicking of any kind. Huzzah!
