    Make TD's 7pts. Instead of a 2pt conversion, make it 3. 10 pt drives. Then make all kicks have to be outside of 50 because those are the only kicks anyone wants to see. 50 yard extra point = 2pts. Field goals from 50 or more = 2pts. Let the real players score. Make the kickers earn their checks.

          They should also have a slam dunk competition during halftime to determine who gets the ball after the half.

            Trampoline pole-vault assisted slam dunk, and the net should be 50 feet high. But first, a mascot foot race to decide who tries to slam dunk first, while they're being pelted with dodgeballs, thrown by dwarves dressed as ewoks.

                Not only is playing nfl games in other countries a joke but the games that are only available via streamline is bullshit.

                  Shit, just change the rules to 15 on offense and 8 on defense...... That should provide plenty of points and make the game "more exciting" lmao

                    Cut the field from from 100 to 40 yards. Everything is red zone, much more interesting.

                    We don't want injured QBs or other skill players, so let's just get rid of tackling too.

                    And another idea, forget the pass rush, just have the QB on a timer - five seconds to pass or it's next down.

                      In all seriousness- the defenses are hamstrung enough already. Can't hardly touch a quarterback anymore without drawing a flag. Ditto the corners trying to guard receivers.

                      If you want to make it harder on the kickers- the next move would be to raise the crossbar up from 10 feet to 12.

                          πŸ™‚ They've been narrowed once already Keith. Make 'em like Arena League goalposts. (Not just yet)

                          That's my one complaint about the NBA- they've never raised the baskets. Fans love those power dunks. It's just gotten too easy for the pros. Mutumbo could about dunk not even jumping. We used to play in a grade school gym where you could crank the baskets down to 8'. It's no challenge dribbling till you fake your defender out for an easy slam.

                            I've thought they should narrow the goal posts for quite some time.

                            IMO that would reduce the number of long FG attempts. Especially on windy days.

                                    What's the point of the "extra point"? Making it harder just created a few more misses. As soon as they line up for the extra point, everyone gets up to take a piss.

                                      The current college standard hash mark distance was the NFL distance until it was changed in 1971. So if you were born in 1965 or earlier those were the hash marks of your childhood.

                                        make the kickers pick it off the ground and kick/punt it like in australian rules football. lose the holder position and put in a gymnast who has to time a trampoline jump to catch it dive through the goal posts.

                                          I just wish they would leave all distances (including PATs) as they have been since my childhood, including widening of current hash marks & then narrow the goalposts.

                                          Agree 100%.

                                          Perhaps just narrowing the goal posts would've accomplished the objective but I'm not opposed to slapping the kicker again with wider hash's. πŸ™‚

                                          It might bring the 2 point conversion into play...and the fake extra point.
