Onside kick replacement possibility

Here's another angle.  It can be used twice at any time during a game after a score.  How many teams (Kansas City would for sure) after scoring a touchdown on the opening drive would elect to do this?  The offense is on a roll, the defense is on their heels.  For a high powered offense it's almost a no brainier.  Bury the opponent early.  If you don't make it but your defense is strong and can hold them to a field goal your still ahead.

I actually could see this happening more if someone scores on the opening drive of the 2nd half.

An interesting idea for an alternative to the onside kick. 4th and 15 play. Only usable twice per game. Frankly a lot safer IMO than an onside kick.

Thoughts?

We literally recovered one JUST IN DECEMBER... We also didn't do poo with it.

I have heard a proposal that you can only use it if a team can kneel and leave you less then 20 seconds on the clock if they just received.

NFL is going the route of Nascar.  They think speed is king, like we can tell if someone is running a 4.3 or a 4.45.  Nascar did the same, sacrificed the competition just to say, "wow, look how fast we are running". 

NFL might want to have the players put back on pads, especially from the waist down.  If everyone was running 2/10ths slower, the game would still be entertaining and players would be protected from the sheer speed and with better equipment.

Or, they can just keep screwing up a good thing.  I figure the latter will prevail.

Several years ago, some sportswriter concluded that the biggest enemy to the game of football was the NFL Competition Committee.  He was correct then, and it has only gotten worse.

They need to issue a seven-year moratorium on new rules, except to repeal the new rules previously implemented that have turned out to be mistakes.

Defensive holding is the biggest problem here.  It will result in a first down and the refs can basically call it anytime they want.  Seems like a license for the refs to influence the outcome way too much.

I bet its happening but I don't like it.

      Week 6 PFF grades vs. DAL

      By CRA · Posted

      PFF feeds the beast.  So it’s largely popular for that IMO and is embraced by the NFL machine because it helps feed the beast.  Thats why you see the cute stats pop on the Monday Night football screen lol.  Hot takes? Fantasy football? Yeah, it’s good for the NFL machine for lots of reason.  I do think the league embraces them.  Not because they are actually good at doing what they claim. actual analytics folks are critical of PFF.  Because it’s not analytics.  It’s subjective goobly goo ratings by dudes that aren’t really qualified nor even have the info to do real grading.  you got legit NFL players who say they have literally put PFF grades by the coaches grades and they are worlds apart.  Players have laughed at them pretending they can grade certain plays without the underlining info.  NFL coaches have called out there bologna at pressers.   could it be a quick tool to find out some info that has nothing to with their subjective grades? Sure.  There is a lot of data on 32 teams for cheap. But I do not buy the narrative 32 NFL teams think their grades are worth a poo or remotely accurate or meaningful.

      Can we get to 9-8?

      I think that win vs Dallas gave them a big boost of confidence.  Thats a team that blew us out the past 2 seasons. Even when Bryce was playing okay late last season they still beat us pretty bad.  Lets see if we slaughter the Jets or go back to playing sloppy uninspired football and go from there.
