NFL may change clock rules

and I didn't think I could get any *less* interested in the pro bowl.

So if a team starts getting going on offense late in a quarter, they have to give up the ball to the other team in the next quarter. Can you imagine how stupid that would be in the regular season?

 

Do you realize they are doing this to try to make the pro bowl watchable?  This has nothing to do with them testing out new rules for the regular season.

did you miss where it said they could potentially implement the rule changes in the regular season?

[TheRumGone]

Who has the power to fire goodell? Cause that needs to happen if this gets implemented in the regular season

[TheRed]

So who comes up with this?

 

The NFL is making record profits, yet they seem to be going out of their way to ruin the game for the sake of change.

[top dawg]

What is this Pro Bowl of which you speak?  Whatever it is, it sounds like it still sucks.

I didn't finish reading the new potential rules...they made my head hurt.

They just need to go ahead and change everything to the MTV Jock Jam games where if you scored in the endzone corner its 100 points.  Dunk on an 11ft field goal post and the other team loses 25 points and other stupid crap like that.

[Mr. Scot]

Terrible ideas.

Please.  They are just trying to drum up interest.  No one in their right mind would let the teams switch possessions after the 1st quarter.  But if you want to believe they are serious, then go right ahead.

Run the clock so they can air more ads without extending the total time of the game?  Sure, why not.

no i dont think they would possibly implement that rule change, it's absurd.  that doesnt discount the fact said they would consider it though.

[Happy Panther]

Yes I imagine there is no chance of these rules in the regular season.

 

But the worst is the 2 minute warning. The only issue i have with the NFL product is the stop and start which has only gotten worse with booth reviews. Sitting at a game where there is a TO at 2:15 and then the 2 minute warning, then another timeout then an injury then a booth review etc then a kickoff WHICH HAS COMMERCIALS ON BOTH SIDES AND IS USUALLY A TOUCHBACK..is brutal. Sometime the last two minutes takes 15 it seems.

 

The NFL is popular enough that people look past it but at some point you start getting fans fed up.

 

So adding more warnings would not be something I vote for.

The warnings in the Pro Bowl have no chance of making it to regular season NFL
