Fumbling the ball out of the end zone giving the ball to the other team.
Stupid rule.
Any other fumble out of bounds the offense retains possession.
In case of the end zone, the defense has done nothing to deserve to earn a turnover
The reason for that is you have to have a limit to how many yards you can lose and a penalty for for the loss of yardage. . .

EDIT: I misunderstood. What's the fix?

I will start it off - change targeting so that disqualification only occurs on second call in same game against a player. Since targeting does not have to be intentional, disqualification is too stiff a penalty on first call
Cosign completely. No one-time, unintentional action should ever cause ejection and suspension.

My change:
If an injury stops play the injured player can not re-enter the game until the ball changes possession.

There's no reasonable way to change it.


I’m not following this. He was saying the rule where you fumble in the end zone you are trying to score in, not backed up in your own end zone where you’re in danger of a safety.

Why couldn’t you penalize the fumbling team 10 yards from where the fumble occurred?

I’m going in to score and fumble on the three and it rolls out of bounds in the end zone. I’d be fine with a loss of down and I keep the ball on the 13 yard line.

Or force a team to call a timeout to bring the player back in. Sometimes a qb gets roughed up, they bring in the backup, and then the following play the starter goes back in. I understand that you're referring to dlineman going down on a tempo offense, but has to work both way.
