re: Offenses evolved to score more points. Defenses haven't evolved to stop them.

Offenses are just as much a part of the game as defenses are. So stop saying "offense is killing football" or "The HUNH is ruining football" because they got creative and left defenses in the dust.
Why don't you tell your lazy defensive coordinators to stop bitching about how the HUNH is no fair and make them find ways to stop it. Sure it's hard to defend, but that's your DCs fault for not finding ways to stop it.
Since the offense has been given so many advantages over the years and quarterbacks are becoming more and more involved in the running game maybe the defense should be allowed to sub in a extra player anytime the offense goes no huddle... seems fair to me. But if you wanna watch basketball on a football field...
Honestly I'd rather just see the hurry up no huddle only be allowed during the final two minute offense. You'd only really ever run it when you were down or to score before the half. Teams wouldn't try to make it their overall package anymore so they wouldn't be as good at executing it... and football would get back to being what it originally was... lining up, getting set, and beating the guys across from you.

Ref execution right now seems all kinds of fricked up. At the very least, they HAVE to make sure they're in position and ready to judge a play before the ball is snapped. I mean, Jesus Christ. I'm not even sure how it's acceptable to any fan that refs aren't ready to make judgments at the snap. I might be blowing this up more than I should, but we've already solidified the fact that a QB can literally nudge a ref out of the way to snap the ball without penalty.
