Name one small tweak to make the game even better

Football is already the best of any sport out there, but it isn't perfect. What is one thing you would do to make the game even better? Small tweaks. Nothing crazy like Goodell is trying to do.

 

Me? I'd drop the play clock by 5 seconds. I think they did this in the Pro Bowl? I say that because though rather dull, soccer is 45 min of continuous action. Baseball won't cut to a commercial until the inning is over or there is a pitcher change. Other than WAY too many timeouts, basketball action only stops due to a foul.

 

But football is: play, stop, play, stop, play, stop, play, stop, play, stop etc. Sometimes it just kills the excitement. And don't get me started on the commercials. The worst is when they cut to commercial after a score, then show the quick kickoff, then cut back to commercial. Hate it. If we could just speed up the actual gameplay a tad it'd be perfect, IMHO.

    • Nfl leaders don't look at the population of just the city itself.  Charlotte has three of the top fifty combined statistical areas within a 1 to 1.5 hour drive.  Charlotte, Greensboro/WS/High Point, and Greenville Spartanburg.  Those three statistical areas include nearly 7 million people.  Other than Raleigh, the only one in the top fifty within an hour and half of raleigh is Greensboro.  So only about 4-5 million people.  Charlotte has many more people to draw from.   Also, many of the surrounding communities for Raleigh are not native born.  If memory serves, many still refer to Cary as Containment area for relocated Yankees.  One of the reasons the Canes do so well is a significant portion of the population are people who moved from Northern Areas.  Would that population translate into support for a NFL team?  Hard to say, but I see a tremendous amount of Giants/Jets jerseys in the triangle when I forced to endure the crazy traffic on 40/85.
