My biggest gripe with targeting is the ejection. I know it has been said before, but when it happens in the game shouldn’t dictate how long the penalty is for. First series of the game and the player is gone an entire game. Last series of the half he’s gone for a half. First series of the second half he’s gone for that half and first half of the next game. Last series of the game he’s out a few more plays and half the next game.
I agree, instant ejection is idiotic. It should be like a hockey penalty - sit in the box for 7 minutes or something. Can't come in until the 1st change of possession after your time is up.

No shite, Sherlock.
Offense shouldn't drop passes either.
But, you don't give a turnover to the defense for dropping a pass in the end zone, either.

Overtimes might routinely last an hour or longer.

Not a rule change, but I want the SEC office to be more transparent with the officiating.
- refs having to do press conference after the game, same as coaches,
- penalties/suspensions for sub par officiating made public knowledge (Don’t believe this is the case currently, someone Hold me honest if incorrect
- our of the box thought here, but I want more in depth statistics kept on penalties called. (Eg types of penalties called, down and distance, etc)

A kickoff through the uprights results is some type of points. Still a touch back
That's a CFL rule (1 point Rouge)
In the CFL, the ball doesn't have to go through the uprights.
"A single is awarded when the ball is kicked into the end zone by any legal means—other than a convert (successful or not) or a successful field goal—and the receiving team does not return (or kick) the ball out of its end zone.[1] A single is also scored if the kick travels through the end zone, or—other than on a kickoff—the ball goes out of bounds in the end zone without being touched.
A single is indicated by the referee raising his right arm and index finger.[2] After conceding a single, the receiving team is awarded possession of the ball at its 35-yard line.
Singles are not awarded in the following situations:
if a ball is downed in the end zone after being intercepted in the end zone
if a ball is fumbled outside the end zone
if the kicked ball hits the goalposts (since the 1970s; before then it was a live ball)
when a kickoff goes into the end zone and then out of bounds without being touched"

If a QB is running the ball he shouldn't be protected under "QB rules" when sliding, he should be considered a RB until the play is over. No more calling BS personal foul penalties against defenders already in the act of initiating a tackle only to be flagged because the QB waited until the last possible second to start a slide.
Change targeting to a two tiered system. If there is no launching, leaving their feet, upward thrust, or spearing action by the defender it should be 15 yards and miss 15 minutes of game time. If any motions showing intent while delivering a blow are clearly distinguishable it should be a ejection for that game plus the next game. Hard blows are football and should always be a part of it. Headhunting should not exist in any level.

What you’re saying doesn’t when make sense. You must still be sour over the 2010 iron bowl because you haven’t given any solution as to how you would fix it. I guess Mark Ingram would’ve gotten the ball at the 1 yard line instead of the 17/18 yard line, and Auburn would’ve been screwed out of getting the turnover for forcing the fumble.

Throwing the shoe of an opponent draws a penalty equal to the distance the shoe is thrown.

An untouched player can get up and run, like the NFL. Makes no sense for a player to be called down when he is not touched.

If you throw a ball away,even if out of the pocket,it is still intentional grounding
Posted on 12/28/20 at 9:05 pm to War Eagle 777
Having a receiver maintain possession through the ground in the end zone even after the catch is secured and a foot is in bounds. Treat it more like running the ball into the end zone. As soon as possession is made and a foot is in bounds the play should be over, touchdown.

Another thing that irks me is the spider cam should be placed directly over the line on a goal line play for a definitive camera angle on where players/ball is.
Also having a ball with censors in it that can tell if the goal line or first down marker has been crossed. Leave less up to the refs to decide outcomes of games.

In case of the end zone, the defense has done nothing to deserve to earn a turnover.
The team that fumbled damn sure doesn't deserve to keep it, so what's the solution?

When did i say the offense should get the ball at the 1 yard line when fumbling at the 18 yard line?
There are tons of things to be sore about a game from 10 years ago, bur trurh be tols Alabama has benefited probably more from this silly rule than it has hurt them. I recall a game against Tennessee in the 90s when UT waa driving late against Bama in a tied game only to fumble out if the endzone giving6the ball back to Bama.

Then we should say any fumble that goes out of the field of play should be a turnover. Fumble out at the 50 yard line? Defense gets the ball.

instead of an onside kick, teams should get the option to have the ball placed at their own 35 in a 4th and 15 situation.
Oh damn, this would actually be pretty awesome.
In addition to several of these in this thread, I've always wanted to see FGs scored in a more "tiered" system to make the long shots worth more.
0-19 yds = 1 point
20-29 yds = 2 points
30-39 yds = 3 points
40-49 yds = 4 points
50-59 yds = 5 points
60+ yds = 6 points
This would also do a lot to "balance" the game more and give less advantage to the offenses, as they'd take more chances inside the 30 when they know they can only walk away with 2 or less points on 4th down.

Actually, you didn’t, and still haven’t, said anything about how to improve. Just that you want it to change.
There’s nothing wrong with fumbling out of bounds from your opponents end zone.
