    Some of these make sense like 11. I never understood why the clock stopped when a team sacked a QB outside the 2 minute.

    But then you have longer field goals but wider goal postS??? WTH

    #11 Keeping the clock running on quarterback sacks at all times of the game.

    Stop all that bullcrap acting from the QB - take your sack like a man, get tfu and call another play.

    I heard and read this morning that the longer PAT would not pass during the NFL rules committee that will meet next week and the rules committee would pass on calling a 15 yard unsportsmanlike conduct penalty using obscene language and the N word.

    Higher goal posts, not wider.

    I Am all for challenging personal fouls,but i think that pass interference should be in there as reviewable too.

    Moving the kickoff to the 40 is idiotic. Just get rid of it already.

    I would hate to see the kickoff get removed from the game but mine as well get rid of it IF kickoffs do indeed get moved to the 40.

    Thought I saw something that one of the rule changes under discussion was that NFL head coaches could challenge PI flags. How did that turn out? Anyone know anything?

    Instead of making the extra point longer the make the kicker earn the extra point via accuracy, why not leave the ball on the two yard line and continue with the 9-10 yard extra point with a twist. Put the uprights on rails and move them from the current 18'6" wide to just 6' wide. All the kicker has to do is kick the ball 27-30 feet but he has to be damned accurate.

    First pic would be a ho-hum extra point, whereas the second pic is a miss. Why not put a premium on accuracy instead of a gimme?

    or maybe take out all the blockers except for the center and holder. That should make it pretty interesting as well.
