ways to improve the game... ratings are down, general interest is down, here's a quick fix.
1. Scheduling is awful. eliminate the whole "if u finish in 3rd place, u play the 3rd place team of such and such division" etc. it creates random ass games between Tampa Bay & Chiefs etc. Should focus on building rivalries. create a Rivalry Week. i.e. 49ers/Raiders should play every year.. Pats/Seahawks, Eagles/Steelers.. Redskins/Ravens....etc.
2. Make It, Take It. if you score u get the ball back until the defense stops you.
3. Yards Carrying Over: If it's 2nd and 7. and u get 11 yards on the play, that extra 4 yards should carry over. so it would be 1st and 6.
4. Stop putting the AFC South on Television, not just National T.V., just stop putting them on local TV either.
5. Offensive holding should be a 5 yard penalty. 10 yard penalties are drive killers.. nobody wants to see a 3rd and 26 every other play.
6. Add an extra Wild-Card Play-In game for each conferences, sorta like they do in MLB.
7. Eliminate the National Anthem, and all the fake military salute shyt.
8. Stop starting games at 10am for the West Coast.. start the early games at 1pm PT. Keep Primetime at 5pm PT for us.
9. Get rid of the Cleveland Browns, Jaguars,
10. Get rid of TNF.... move MNF back to ABC.. stop letting CBS drown out crowd noises during telecasts.
There you have it, I should copyright this stuff incase the NFL steals these ideas.. but whatever..
