KarateKen Posted May 22 Posted May 22 NFL teams voted on the Tush Push, and the vote came up 22-10 in favor of banning it, however 24 votes were needed, so it did not pass. The Lions proposal of changing the playoff seedings based on record, and not division placing (for example the Vikings being 14-3 going on the road to play the 10-7 Rams because the Rams won the division and the Vikings were a wild card) did not pass. New rule to the kickoff. Last season teams were not allowed to onside kick unless it was the 4th quarter, and they were behind. This year teams will be allowed to onside kick anytime during the game, as long as they are behind. The NFL has also voted to support NFL players competing in Flag Football during the 2028 Olympics. American players would have to play for the USA but NFL players with ties to foreign countries could play for that country's team. There is only one player per team allowed and with only 10 spots available for Olympic Flag Football (much smaller roster than the NFL) getting enough players does not appear to be any kind of an issue. The 2028 Olympics will be in Los Angeles.

bushido_man96 Posted May 23 Author Posted May 23 Condolences to the Irsay family. As regards the tush push, I don't think it should be banned anyways. No injuries recorded from its use, and it doesn't appear to be an unfair play. The playoff seeding not changing does bother me. I don't care if an 9-8 team wins their division; that should not guarantee a home game. I like the onside kick rule adjustment, but I think I'd rather see the onside kick handled the way it is in the UFL. https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com

I like the onside kick rule adjustment, but I think I'd rather see the onside kick handled the way it is in the UFL. I agree with what you’ve saying about the tush push, Brian. It’s a very effective and smart play. Whatever team is wanting it banned, perhaps they’re just ineffective at preventing it and/or ineffective in making it effective for them. I also agree with you, Brian about the playoff seeding because a team with 9-8 should not guarantee a home game. A team with a minimum record of perhaps 12-5 or better should earn that home game seeding. I also agree with you, Brian about the onside kick ruling. I got a tickle by the “not at the 35 yard line, but at the 34 yard line” like that’ll make a big difference. Having it like how it’s done in the UFC would be interesting. I like the BOTH teams will possess the ball in overtime rule. Many major professional sports give both teams an equal opportunity to win!! MLB games, for example, in extra innings, are not over until a decided winner is decided at bottom of said inning and not at the top is said inning. NBA OT games, for example, aren’t decided until the OT clock time runs out and whichever team is ahead at the OT buzzard, that team is the winner. I also like the NFL rule how it “expands use of replay assist”. Teams now can review hits on a defenseless player, grabbing the facemask, performing a horse-collar tackle, tripping and running into or roughing the kicker. However, for those penalties to be reviewed, a referee has to throw a flag right at said play, and not at the insistence of a coach. GO COWBOYS!! Edited May 23 by sensei8 **Proof is on the floor!!!
bushido_man96 Posted May 24 Author Posted May 24 I'm tired of the OT complaints in the NFL. Just play a whole fifth quarter. If it ends in a tie, so be it. In the postseason, go to the college model if it's still tied after OT. https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com
KarateKen Posted May 24 Posted May 24 The problem with the OT seems to be the field goals. So how about this. No kicking game in overtime. The team that wins the toss, if they receive, possess the ball at their own 25-yard line. Then it is first team to score. No field goals, no kickoffs, no punts. You can only win by a TD or a safety. If neither team scores after 10 minutes the game ends in a tie.
sensei8 Posted May 24 Posted May 24 Oh what a tangled web we weave whenever we…keep messing with the darn thing; if it ain’t broken stop trying to fix it. Imho!! **Proof is on the floor!!!
