What sort of thread have you made for us? A Wentz thread, if you can keep it.

Okay, so in 8 days, our fanbase wants to:

A) Re-define what a forward pass is,
B) Get rid of the illegal formation penalty, and now
C) Re-define long-standing touchback rules.

Are there any other ways that the game can be improved?

Sure. Let’s get down and dirty on that whole targeting thang…

The targeting rule is a good rule. Did you play football in HS or college?

We understand the rule. But it is a really stupid one.

Tough to change, however, unless you are also going to allow muffed punts to be advanced. You'd need to also do away with that rule.

Don't remember which game it was....but in one of yesterday's games, an offense started a drive from their own half yard line. 1st and 10....then, false start on the offense. Ball was moved back a few inches: still 1st down.
I'd like to see a loss of down rule option for the defense otherwise there is almost no consequence for the offense.
If the defense had a pre snap neutral zone foul, the ball would go to the 5 1/2 yard line....and 1st and 5 for the offense.

Yes I did. Teammate of mine suffered a permanent spinal cord injury.

But I didn’t say get rid of the rule did I? You do assumptions much?

I was being facetious with soliciting rule changes.

I'm aware of that.
Just pointing out a rule that I think is flawed.

As I was with my suggestion.

Weak as fuck if true

Why? Who cares?

It is interesting where the rules of the game provide advantaged penalties. Not that anything necessarily needs to be changed, it's just interesting to take note. Like the returning kicking the ball into the endzone before recovering it. Or a returning stepping out of bounds and touching a ball. Nothing wrong, just interesting twists to the complex rules of football.
