Would you favor changing points scored TD, FG, etc?

You need to make the distinction between rules that are for serious safety hazards vs rules that are for making money(pro pass league type rules)

Weren't you allowed to face mask on tackles back in the day?

You want that?

There was never a time where face masking was legal. I want the game of football to be physical like it used to be. You will never make football injury free unless you make it flag football. Football needs to go back to ground and pound and let defenses play without a disadvantage. That means lighting up WRs for going across the middle and stop treating QBs as untouchable.

I played TE in high school all 4 years and took some very hard hits .

The size, speed and strength of player has dramatically increased in the past 25 years alone

The athlete is a significantly more high precision weapon and stronger.

Rules have to be fluid for safety reasons.

Anyway...the scoring is fine the way it is. With the addition of the two point conversion(1 extra point to scoring)...I can do 1 extra point for 60+ yard field goals, making it 4 points.

That would make end of games interesting. 1 minute left...You're at mid field...do you go for the td or kick the fg?

I assume even if you run the clock to 3 seconds left, there would be a way to place the kick to at least 60 yards if you needed 4 points?

You could argue that the size/speed of todays players is a product of the rule changes. Different rules = different type of player.

Lol...high school.

So did I.

Not many 300lb high schoolers running 4.6. Maybe there are a few 225 kids...rare though.

I went to high school with Mike Williams. 2nd or 3rd overall pick out of Texas. Big, strong and extremely fast on his feet lineman. I need to look up his 40 time. He was fast for a big guy.

I just don't see the need for barbarian-ism.

These defenders are tackling. While at the same time jostling and trying to punch the ball out of ball carriers arms all in a matter of split seconds...yet they can't adjust their body to prevent falling on ball carriers legs if they tackle up top and pull a defender down? I don't believe it. You can try and tell me what you want me to think...if you want to waste your time.

The horse collar rule is a good rule. It's proven to have high frequency of injuries. And...I gave you a scenario of the defenders being quick minded enough in split seconds to make decisions. My opinion is that defenders can prevent falling on ball carriers legs in plenty of time...but don't. I'm glad they made the rule.
