PS17 Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 Sounds similar to the AAF rule. Quote NFL teams have proposed nine rule changes for 2019, including an intriguing alternative from the Denver Broncos to bypass the onside kick. According to the Broncos' proposal, released Friday night by the NFL, each team would have one opportunity per game to remain on offense after a fourth-quarter score. Instead of kicking off, the team would line up at its 35-yard line for what is in essence a fourth-and-15. If the team gains the 15 yards, it maintains possession. If not, the defense takes over. http://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/26198578/broncos-propose-alternative-trying-onside-kick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joenamathwouldn'tcry Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 If you tinker with something for too long, it fails to resemble the object you started with. That is fast becoming the case with football, as with other sports. Stop it already. Here's an idea. Review and reverse the asinine rule changes currently on the books, before further ruining our beloved pastime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flgreen Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 Might they have stolen that from the AAF? If they want to steal from the AAf, how about having the game pace run smoothly, and keep the refs from deciding the outcome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jet9 Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 Actual football is screwed. Id say thank God for hockey and baseball, but hockey likes to give participation points in the standings and baseball is talking about starting extra innings with a runner on 2nd. All ridiculous.

Unfortunately, the NFL made the onside kick almost impossible to recover by the kicking team because of last year's rule changes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least hockey has the sense to revert back to regular rules in post-season (as in no 3-on-3 overtime). The NFL has become the Arena League and I have no idea what baseball is doing these days. I think they're looking for creative ways to destroy the sport. They almost instituted a pitch clock this season. WTF?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
14 in Green Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 I'm more then ok with this, I like it a lot. The onside kick was never an exciting play, and rarely worked. It became almost impossible to convert last year when the kicking team wasn't allowed a running start. With this rule the team can convert the 15 yard play, or get the first down on any number of defensive penalties. Much better odds, but not so easy that its unfair to the team with the lead. If this comes about, you'll have the chance for some exciting finishes you wouldn't get now. Unless you get off watching 3 plays from the victory formation, with a timeout after each one, I don't see a down side.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bla bla bla Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 They should absolutely look into doing this. The onside kick % drastically dropped this year due to the new rules. Before 2018 = 20% success rate During 2018 = 8% success rate Since offenses can no longer be stopped in the NFL, if you get a lead, you basically win. I'm 100% on board for this rule change.

Honestly I don't know how upset I'd get losing 3 minutes of commercials after the extra point, return for a 5 second kickoff that usually ends up going out of the end zone, followed by another 3 minutes of commercials. Spine tingling stuff right there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nixhead Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 No way! Thats giving the team that just scored the ball back right away even though its 4th down. They can go for a Hail Mary or just go for the 1st down. You kick off after you score. Why change that! How many injuries occur on onside kicks? Let them get a running start and that will bring the percentage back up to a manageable 20%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
