Disagree. I think if the offense is going to be risky and reach for the pylon, there should be risk-reward for fumbling it out of bounds into the end zone.
The end zone is different than the rest of the field. Offense scores just by breaking the plane of the goal line, don't have to have both feet in or any other part of the body. The current rule works just fine.
Nope
It's been selling just fine on TV for over 60 years. A solution for a problem that doesn't exist.
The NFL has never changed their rules. Ever.
None of that explains that starting at 4-4 that they wouldn't have continued to be around .500 for the rest of the season. Zero evidence.
The Chargers loss was a travesty.
Chiefs are in the AFC Championship for sixth time in a row. Bucs were right there with a solid chance to make the NFC Championship. Eagles went downhill badly, but at the time we were sent on the road with short rest to the defending NFC champion.
Cousins wins every. game. that those backups won, and by more points.
Cousins wins the Broncos, Bears, and Bengals games that we had to try hard to lose.
So, try again: 10-4. That's what we would've "started" with Cousins staying healthy at QB, playing as well as he was when he got injured.
Last three games, you never know. Defense getting injured and falling off a cliff would've been tough .... but then again Cousins won 13 games in 2022 with zero defense, if I recall correctly?
Yeah, were all doing that.
The actual rule book says otherwise.
Never said that. The rule as it is, doesn't need to change.
Yes they did, they forced a fumble, before the player crossed the goal line.
Much better weekend of Divisional Playoffs than it was in the Wild Card. Pretty good theater. Even the Texans made the Ravens sweat.
What happens when there is offensive holding or intentional grounding in the end zone compared to the rest of the field? Theory denied.
Can't make it up.
"You only won 13 games!!!! Can't win you, you loser!!"
Currently, 14/32 teams make the playoffs (43.8%) so Kirk is below average while with the Vikings on that front. Even in 2018-19 when it was only 12/32 (37.5%).
I don't mind the Chiefs, but I am so tired of them cutting away to Taylor Swift every 5 seconds that I am now rooting against them.

I don't gamble anymore, but if I did, I'd put a lot on 49's to cover. Think Goff will be under pressure all game, which he then struggles. We'll see.Deebo Samuel 50/50 to play for the 49ers this week.
Report: 49ers think Deebo Samuel is "50-50" to play in NFC title game
49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel left Saturday's win over the Packers early in the first quarter after injuring his shoulder and his status for the NFC Championship Game is uncertain.
If he can't go (or is nothing more than a decoy), I really like the Lions chances.
I am fine with the offense retaining possession for the other 100 yds of the playing field.
On the Tony Kornheiser podcast, his guest Jason La Confora, listed several stats that indicated the 49ers D-line has been really below average for past 2 months, against the pass and especially against the run.
Watching the game Saturday, the Niners D-line was non-existent most of the game. Bosa and especially Young got manhandled by the Tackles and Young was being blocked by WR with ease quite often.
Certainly possible, and I haven't said otherwise. I've only said multiple times that the last three games would've been interesting, with the Vikings 10-4 and Cousins playing MVP level.
Yes.
The actual rule book has never changed. Never. Has never had its rules altered to improve the game. Ever.
So??
