I think this should be a rule. Instead of adding points to the team total, it should subtract points for pick sixes, safties, etc. Unless there are no points to subtract, then the difference can be added to the total of the team on defense. More complicated, but it makes things more interesting 

 

 

Yeah this will work. The NFL doesn't even know what a catch is.

 It's actually much more of a simple concept than the true definition of a catch.

Pick 6? Six points taken from the other team's score.

Fumble 6? Six points taken from the other team's score.

Safety? Two points taken from the other team's score. 

That's not to say that a catch shouldn't be simple either (clear control, two feet down inbounds, maintains control through the catch if going to the ground, ball can't touch the ground)

Even the "what if" of the intercepted / fumbling team not having any points is pretty simple. 5 points and throw a pick 6? The intercepting team is awarded one point and the intercepting team's points are wiped away. Simple.

Can't see that happening because it presents the potential for negative numbers.

Don't think the NFL wants that.

So mathematically, no different than just keeping it the way it is. Why bother?

      Just another 1st round QB that never paid off for the team that drafted them or traded for them. It's been like this since the SB began. 36 QBs have now won the SB & only 13 of them have been 1st rounders winning with their original team. Namath 1968, Griese 1972, Bradshaw 1974, McMahon 1985, Simms 1986, Aikman 1992, Elway 1997, Roethlisberger 2005, P.Manning 2006, E.Manning 2007, Rodgers 2010, Flacco 2012, & Mahomes 2019. Only 3 have taken longer than 5 seasons as the starter to win a SB.  4  6  5  4  6  4  15  2  9  4  3  5  2 [the years it takes for these 1st round QBs] 5  1  4  1  3  1  1  2  3  4  [10 of the 36 have won a chip with their 1st team that haven't been drafted in the 1st round. These are the years it took them as a starter] What stands out? Only 2 of these QBs have lost their first championship appearance. Elway took 4 years as a 1st rounder & Hurts took 2 years as a 2nd rounder. Of the 10 non-1st round QBs, 2 are 2nd rounders, 3 are 3rd rounders, 5 are 6th rounders or later. Please stop wasting time on drafting 1st round QBs with such a high failure rate. The remaining 13 QBs are traded or free agent signings. Stafford, Favre, Young, Williams and Dawson are the 5 trades. Peyton Manning & Tom Brady also won for teams as free agents on a short stay as well as being drafted. The lesson here is don't waste your franchise on farming up 1st rounders for the league, and steer clear of trading for a franchise QB. Stick to finding that championship QB by drafting them outside of the 1st round or through free agency.

      I wake up this morning full of rage towards Ronald McDonald Rivera / Gettleman / Hurney

      I lost most of the respect I had for Fox in 2010. He should have resigned if he hated the job that much. Instead he stuck for his paycheck and let stuff go to hell.    I burned out on Ron too but my deal breaker issue with him was away from football and after he was gone from the Panthers. He may have been out of his depth but never quit on us.

      From where they were one year ago to now, pretty incredible. I mean, say what you want about Vrabel he is no Jerrod Mayo.
