Three Crazy New kickoff Rules

[LRJets]

You can use the points in every quarter towards a win. Now the onside kick can only be in the fourth quarter , if you're losing.
Belichick is no longer in the league, you don't need these dopey rules.

Knowing our jets they will do offside kicks

progressively ruining the game

I mentioned Belichick not as the great Patriot winner, but as the guy if he's up by 30 or more, he'd still try to run up the score.

Taking trickery out of the game. Had they done that 25 years ago, cheatahs would never have been

WTF? Next thing you know Tackling will be consensual.
DB: "I'm going to Tackle you now okay?"
WR: "I have a Headache."
DB: "Okay(damn)."

What makes a sports game exciting to watch? A major component is unpredictability. If we know in advance what is going to be done as the next play, we're reduced to being excited by the level of execution of the play itself.

If the above is correct, then it's logical that reducing the unpredictability in a sport will reduce the level of excitement. This isn't to say that all rules should be eliminated. That reductio ad absurdum argument makes good sense. But there's perhaps something of a Laffer curve here with the rules as abscissa and excitement as the ordinate. The proposed(?) rules suggest we're to the left of the curve apex.

Regards, enjoy the season.

Go, Jets!

Hi, Bigmoe.

Just some ramblings from a Jets fan who

A) used to work for the late Mr. Leon Hess back when he bought the Titans, and

B) was exposed to a classical education which proved to be contagious.

Regards, Enjoy the season.

Go, Jets!

 

[Bigmoe]

A- good ole Leon
B- like my son
Private HS
Princeton
MIT
I get it

So the kickoff must drop into the 'landing zone'. It will be interesting to see how that plays out the first time someone is kicking into a howling gale.

Like they would open the wind doors at the old giants stadium

My (probably wrong) interpretation is that if they miss the “landing zone” the ball is placed at the 35 yard line.

A safer kickoff for the players that results in more returns as opposed to the touchback on almost every kickoff last year can’t be a bad thing for us fans

Close ;
“ If a kick doesn't reach the landing zone, the receiving team gets possession at its 40-yard line.”
