Rule Changes you want to see

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.

Offensive face mask

Call pi the same both ways. Too many times I see a def player get a ticky tack pi but the off player is never called for doing the same thing.

Also change where linemen can only go downfield 1 yard not the 3 yards it is now.

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.

change linemen downfield from 3 yards to 1 yard to match the pros

It’d be nice if they actually called it at three.

To all the ranters here, if this happens, offenses are handicapped by about 50%. You’ll love it.

50% is a high estimate, but it would absolutely eliminate some empty passing stats and help a bit with balance. It's a great idea.

I'd like to see overtime start at the 50 yard line to make a field goal more meaningful.

Make it so a punt has to touch in the endzone allowing players to jump over the plane and throw it back in field of play like pros.

Just a couple of the top of my head to add to the others
