Rule changes proposed by teams

[ViewFromSection129]

The playoff seeding change would be amongst the stupidest possible things the league can do.

Winnimg your division has to mean something, and said value would be diminished greatly.

I agree with this.  Although I wish the league would go back to three divisions in each conference.  Or hell, be bold and do two eight team divisions in each league.  You wouldn't have issues with seeding then,  as the division winners would almost certainly both have great records,  and then you can pull the wild cards from there.

I know you'd have issues with scheduling with more teams in each division,  but anything is possible.

I also would like to see that 'pushing" rule amended. If the offense can do it legally the defense should have that same opportunity.

This has been my exact argument since this started.  The minute you allow 3 LBs to push a 370LB DT forward the play goes away.  Because it won't work anymore.

I like the non first down defensive holding idea..the reseeding of playoff teams I don't think the owners will go for..tush push isn't football and should be banned..plus forward momentum from lineman once forward progress id stopped..everybody now tries that..and more rugby stuff.

While, at first, I liked the idea of eliminating the automatic first down, I wonder if eliminating it would result in more flags as DB would rather mug a player (at the cost of 5 yards and repeat the down) than give up the big play.

Not if you made it a spot foul.
Like PI, the ball should be placed at the spot of the foul. If it is a 1st down, good, if not. Keep on playing.
