Rules that should be changed

One thing I like is they typically stop the free play offsides that Rodgers was the king of. I'd to see more offensive PI or less defensive PI. Let them play or stop the offensive push offs. The QB new roughing penalties are often such a joke. Also, the helmet to helmet when the offensive player ducks into a hit shouldn't be a penalty on the defense. I like the longer extra point.

One thing that drove me crazy yesterday are the two officials meetings to declare the time on the clock was correct. Romo had a funny comment about that.

What should be on the agenda this offseason:

- Pass Interference (or missed PI) reviewable
- Personal fouls hit (roughing passer, roughing kicker, defenseless receiver, chop block) reviewable
- Officially change offensive holding to the holding that is actually called - arm bars, jersey grabs, tackling. BUT ONLY if you officially allow the minimal hand fighting for defensive holding and PI to also go by the wayside. Essentially, if we're only gonna call the egregious stuff on the offense, then we should only call the egregious stuff on the defense. If the league is more concerned with penalties that lead to injuries they should ease up on the penalties that just prevent players from playing through.
- Defensive PI yardage maxed at 15 yards.
- Allow exception for declared onside kicks to allow players a 5-yard running start. The new rule to prevent injuries has greatly reduced the ability to successfully pull off an onside kick, and the onside kick rule is only there to begin with to allow a team down 9+ points a chance in the 4th quarter. The less onside kicks have a chance to succeed the less reason people have to watch the end of games where a team has a 9-16 point lead.

if the NFL used RUGBY 7's replay method we wouldn't look so ignorant. they use a head ref in the booth. If he see's something on the field that was missed he will page down to the field ump and they will make the call then. it's not that hard but in america we have a great way of making the simplest things that much harder.

With your RUGBY 7 idea in regards to refs is on point and makes too much sense.

However, if Goodell and the league really want to get their act together, they would. I'm not a conspiracy theorist, but we've got to be naive if we don't think some games are (timely) rigged at some degree. Otherwise, they would've fixed the poor officiating problem quite a long time ago.

When betting and tons of $$$ are at stake #CorruptionHappens #GoodellHappens offshore betting and Vegas happens

Oh brother I'm with you,...money talks .... and people are silly if they think some NFL games can't get rigged. Too much money involved, too many part time employees, it's happened consistently at the college level. Vegas has been deep for years. It really is an easy fix to clean up the errors but why hasn't it been done????

Man I wish we could be a fly on the wall...we could just bet on the refs and make a fortune every season...

i still think that ref just competely missed the call, whether he just wasn't paying attention or whatever happened, i don't think it had to do with rigging. and i say that because that was such an obvious call...if you gonna rig a game, you don't do it there.
