I think they should apply simple economics. Shorten the commercial time and charge advertisers more the smaller amount of time that's then available. If supply/demand principles actually work here, we should be able to maintain revenues and have the shorter games.

Anybody old enough to remember when cable television was coming out, were told the same thing. Pay for cable TV and there would be no commercials. We all know how that turned out ! PPV would end up the same way.

If this passes, will be curious to see teams try to run a hurry up after an incomplete pass as defenders are used to getting a guaranteed break and sub in those situations.
They’re shortening the game “for player safety” which is bullshite because the length of the game isn’t hurting players. Implementing the above would be dangerous as teams would rush to the line of scrimmage and not get a quick breather
I’m ok with the NFL rule on first downs. The penalty thing is stupid what about penalties on last play before halftime or end of game?

I say go back to the only commercial time is during team timeouts, change of quarter, halftime, injury. No automatic “tv timeouts”

end of half/game penalties would remain as they are currently
In that case, I'm ok with that change.

Even less actual “playing time” as clock runs with no play action. Currently a 60 minute game has over 11 minutes of actual playing time which now drop to 10 minutes. They claim games taking longer but it’s the commercials and endless stoppages for video okay reviews, etc. To offset some they want to cut actual playing time. Shaved clock once before my starting clock after first down was made. Clock used to start on the snap. These ruled reduce the number of plays to accommodate down time BS.

Where is the rule regarding five, 2:30 TV timeouts every half quarter?
Why punish the actual game when the real problem are the amount and lengths of TV timeouts? Cough CBS Cough.
