Teams can spend all the money in the world on stars and big names but the little unknown kicker can make or break it. It comes down to the team not just the stars. Just like what happened to the Bears last year. It sucks as a Bears fan but people will never forget the "double doink." I'm fine with 3 point field goals. They break up periods of time without TD's and make sure there isn't a ton of games going into overtime. I just find XP kinda pointless. You did the work by scoring a TD, that should be it. Kick offs are the thing that I really wish they would get rid of. Waste of time and dangerous to players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol I dunno but I like where you’re going! Those are all reasonable ideas that belong on the table of discussion. ? Im just saying there is probably a way to make the kickoff the most exciting part of the game. 8 vs 2? You get one blocker and maybe the defenders are each limited to a 10 yard vertical zone?

If they are going to do preseason, they might as well do some cool stuff like this. See what sticks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balta1701 Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 I cannot remember the last time I saw a team in the NFL being as aggressive in trades to improve their roster as Houston is being right now. Free Agency sure, but trading away all their draft picks to fill positions around their star QB? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
