B.S. Onside Kick rules really ruin the game

[thunderraiden]

These new horse poo Kickoff rules from 2018 are really ruining any excitement in coming back in a game. There were proposals before the season that made sense with the 4th down election a team could make but here we are in 2019 without a snowballs chance in hell whenever your team is down two scores.

Hell I thought why not have old onside kicks possible one play a game but no one even recommended that one.

Agree it’s pretty much impossible to recover one now

Welcome to the safety NFL. This is what happens when you get lawsuits about willful brain damage.

agreed but we could have had the entire stadium on the field for that onside kick and it wouldn't of made a difference, slye boomed a kick at the rams WR, he made a great play of securing the ball instantly.

Honestly, the conversion percentage wasn't so great before the new rules. They just basically knocked out that 18% chance you had before and made it 0%.

I think they need a new idea.  That and overtime.  The receiving team wins the coin toss and scores a TD--game over.

and moving back extra points elimated the fake xp to go for two--not that big a deal, but still.

I think the best bet is to kick it as hard as you can at a specific player on the other team and hope they can't handle it and it deflects off them. Like have Slye kick it at a guy with the intent of having the ball shoot through the guy like a bullet, that kind of heat.

Another reason why I love Greg Shiano's  idea to get rid of kickoffs all together.  This would be the most exciting game rule change in years.

yea....that and play till someone wins...

Can't remember where I heard it but someone had the idea that you could choose to kick off or take a 4th and 10 or 15 from fairly deep in your own territory. That would be better than the current rules. Being down 2 scores with less than 3 minutes on the clock means the game is effectively over.

How about moving the receiving team back five yards but keep the rule that says the kicking team can recover it after ten?

It would be like trying to recover a wild fumble. I love it. They'd never do it.
