New Kickoff Rule Proposed by Redskins.

[KillerKat]

Thing is, there is nothing the return team can do about it so it is kind of unfair. I doubt it gets passed. Kickers just have to be more accurate and kick it shorter if they want better field position.

[Zaximus]

I like this.   It's always a fun mini-game seeing if the kicker can do this anyway, may as well reward lol

With the help of the networks, they can place two rings on the sides of the goal posts. One is worth 25 points, the other, a C list actor is put to death. Of course that list will be have to be kept up to date. And from time to time, might have to reach up to the B actors. Yeah, I'm looking at you David Giuntoli.

What about D Squad commentators? I'm looking at you Sam Rosen and David Diehl!

 

edit: Fuggin Brian Baldinger. Yea, please, tell me how every fuging guy on the field that has dreads is chris gamble you fuging mouth-breathing, fat-fingered, dick wizard.

You're all acting like Gano would be able to kick it between the uprights anyways.

[Saca312]

Joking aside, this rule could save Gano's job. Even though he may not be the best at field goals, he's got one of the strongest legs in the league.

I hope they pass this.  It is actually a really cool idea.  In a game where every yard matters, not only does it reward you for putting your all into each and every kicmoff, it adds fan interest in what has become an extremely uninteresting play.  Instead of shrugging off a useless play, we will now be interested in whether or not they can get it through the uprights.

Furthermore, it will also increase interest for stat geeks.

We saw how useful kickoffs can be in the Super Bowl. The play doesn't have to benefit one team more than the other; it's all a matter of who is most intelligent in preparing for it.

They should award a single point for doing that. It's a better reward, minor enough to not be a huge deal, and would also finally really punish teams for 15-yard penalties on extra points. 

[Growl]

Dumb and pointless.

 

They're hoping it will pass so as to discourage teams willfully kicking the ball short of the goal line and winning the field position battle that way as they did last year, but it won't.

 

The statistical odds don't back it up, and teams will process as they did last year.

 

All except us in our refusal to admit Graham is no longer useful on kickoffs and teams will continue to start us at the 15 while we keep awarding them a free 25.

[CarolinaSamurai]

So we already know about the raiders but what about all the rule votes? That's what I want to know

LOL.  Yup.  But dang I no longer have time to track even the major stats...  Really hoping something changes and my schedule allows me renewed time / energy for number crunching.   All the stuff I've done for work in Excel recently is SO B-O-R-I-N-G!!!  I'd love a break to crunch some NFL & Panthers data!
