5 Rule Changes For The Pro Bowl

4. More two-minute warnings and alternating possessions: If you love the two-minute warning, then you're going to love this rule: During the Pro Bowl, there will be a two-minute warning in every quarter.
 
The NFL's hope is that this means the teams will use a two-minute offense at the end of the quarter. The reason the team with the ball will want to use a two-minute offense is because they won't be getting the ball back in the next quarter. The ball will change possession at the end of each quarter, so if Team Irvin has the ball at the 40-yard line when the clock hits zero at the end of the first quarter, they'll lose possession and Team Carter will start the second quarter with the ball at their own 25-yard line.

 

 

Bull feces. It's another commercial. The two minute warning is useless.

3. More timeouts: We probably don't need a game with more timeouts, but we're getting it anyway. For the Pro Bowl, each team will be given two timeouts per quarter, so they'll have a total of eight timeouts for the entire game at their disposal. During regular season games, teams are given three timeouts per half.
 
Teams in the Pro Bowl will also have have carry-over timeouts. If a timeout isn't used in the first or third quarter, it can carry-over to the second or fourth quarter. Only one timeout can carry-over per quarter, so the most timeouts a team could have in the second or fourth quarter is three.

 

Oh hey...more commercials.

I hope they arent using this as a testing ground for future rule changes.

 

For example eliminating the kickoff altogether and such. not good moves imo

 

That's what I'm afraid of! I thought backing up the PAT was an OK change, but I hope they don't get stupid!

I kind of hope the way the 3rd quarter ended tonight that the idea of alternating possessions is put to bed once and for all.

It took like 30 minutes to get through the final two minutes of the quarter and it totally ruined what was a really good game up until that point-and it could have been even worse had the North's kicker not choked.

Often kickoffs are some of the most exciting plays in game and can decide the outcome. In my opinion they should  not even consider eliminate,or tinker with such an important part of the game. A wise man once said,If it's not broken,why attempt to fix it? Just shows the NFL is often not very wise.

Wait, so the popularity of the pro bowl has seen a sharp decline over the years, and this is how the NFL tries to re-engage the fans? This game is beyond a farce. It might as well be rock and jock football hosted by MTV (showing my age).

      Most hated teams

      After Bountygate and the information that came out on the Saints owners shielding pedophile priests in New Orleans it will forever be the Saints numero uno for me. FUG THE SAINTS! I hope this is just the beginning of a long term period of suffering for that shitty organization run by even shittier human beings. #2.Pats/Belicheat #3. Falcons (Mike Vick years then Matt Ryan/Julio running it up) Ryan pooping his pants and 28-3 def makes my bad days always better just thinking of those. #4 Pretty much any franchise fan base thats obnoxious Steelers, Eagles, Bills, Jets, Giants, Cowboys, etc.

      PFF Best Rookies so far: Two Panthers

      By BEASTfromdaEAST · Posted

      Thank God DM used that #8 pick on a bona fide WR1 and not some bum pass rushing prospect like Stewart or someone else. I believe Tet is legit WR1 material and going forward will be our long term answer at that position since we desperately were in need of one once they traded away DJ Moore.  Tet could possibly end up even being better long term than someone who I respect a ton as a WR in Moore. Evans has been a pleasant surprise and great TE/FB depth piece going forward who could make the most of his opportunities.  Any good offense worth a damn in the NFL has 3 TEs that can do multiple things and being scared by Ian Thomas play for years should makes us all appreciate what Evans is quietly doing as a ROOKIE at one of the hardest positions to learn at the pro level.  Keep cooking DM. This season is not over obviously but seeing some growth out of young talent finally is a breathe of fresh fuggin air for once.

      PFF Best Rookies so far: Two Panthers

      By mav1234 · Posted

      Saw this show up in my new feed. Nice to see a couple of our rookies making it into the top 5 so far, even if it is a pff measure... From https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-top-15-rookies-week-9-2025 ... 4. TE Mitchell Evans, Carolina Panthers (78.7) Evans struggled in the Panthers’ tight win over the Packers, finishing with a 41.8 PFF overall grade — third worst among tight ends this week. He was not targeted in the game and played only one snap in pass protection. He did log 15 run-blocking snaps, and although he earned a 68.9 PFF run-blocking grade in zone looks (seven snaps), his 39.0 mark in gap schemes (second worst for the week) dragged him down to a 46.6 PFF run-blocking grade overall — sixth worst for the week. Despite seeing zero targets over his past two games, Evans still leads the Carolina tight end group with a 74.3 PFF receiving grade. He has caught all nine of his targets for 90 yards, six first downs and two touchdowns. Evans also leads the Panthers’ tight end group in PFF run-blocking grade (72.2). He has recorded a 20.5% positive play rate across 175 snaps.  5. WR Tetairoa McMillan, Carolina Panthers (78.6) McMillan had a better day against the Packers, recording four catches for 46 yards. Most of that production came in the first quarter via two 16-yard catches — one of which he snatched from Carrington Valentine’s hands, who was in perfect position to break up the pass. McMillan accounted for three first downs on the day, although Green Bay was able to limit his impact after the catch, holding him to 0.8 yards after the catch per reception. McMillan now has 41 catches for 558 yards — a top-15 mark. He is also tied for second with 19 explosive gains of 15-plus yards. Three of McMillan’s catches against the Packers came between the numbers, bringing him to 22 for 318 yards and 19 first downs (tied for second most) this season. He owns a 26.1% threat rate and a 76.6 PFF receiving grade between the numbers. He also ranks in the top 10 in explosive gains (10) and yards after the catch per reception (5.5) within that area of the field.
