I disagree with this one.
I think it works like a punt, the runner lost the ball and it went into the opposing EZ. comparably, if the ball is fumbled at the opposite end and goes OOB, it’s a safety with no recovery.
I don’t think this even happens enough to make a deal about and that last game (maybe college) about a week ago was the first time I ever saw outcry for this one.
I think it’s a good rule and should stay as is.
On punts give the returner a 5 yard cushion ( no fair catches like the CFL). This makes the return more exciting. When the punt team downs the ball it should be their ball. The kickoff rules are a joke.
NFL really needs to do away with illegal contact. These penalties are really ruining the game.
Screwed the Colts. Oh well. But still.

What's the point of kickoffs? They are hardly returned...touchbacks suck
Players are calling for flags before they hit the ground it seems.. pathetic
When they are returned they call fair catch or it's an automatic penalty if the return goes for good yardage.
I think that should be a delay of game called on the player. Maybe 5 yard variety, but if there’s complaints about the refs calls or non-calls, it should be coming from the coach. Kind of like baseball.
I think this may be a Point of view argument.
for example, bears fans will always live in the heyday of Devin Hester who score like half the entire Bears season.
Titans fans have zero reason for excitement on KO pretty much ever, unless Lorenzo Neal is the returner.
Or Pac man Jones
It was kind of sarcastic suggesting Lorenzo Neal, but if we’re going to get technical about it, Mariani was pretty good too and despite safety-ing himself, Darius Reynaud was alright too.
That’s fair and more so because it was the literal KO of the season and it was against S**tsburgh.
sunday noon KO... losing before even take a snap... incredible
was that Munchak's first game???
was that Munchak's first game???
I think that goes back to Mularkey. did win the game though like 18-11
Talk about a dick blow to start the year. I laughed so hard.
This a strange reference, but my reaction was exactly like Paula Shore and Stephen Baldwin from Biodome when they find the key just in the window of the dome.
It was like a depressed “No way”.
BOTH: No way.
Have all replay decisions done by the booth instead of having the ref run over and watch it
Rugby style scoring:
- make a touchdown a touchdown again. Ball carrier has to touch the ball to the ground. In the endzone.
- for PAT "The person attempting the conversion can bring the ball as far back as they’d like, but the ball must stay on the vertical plane of where the try was scored. That’s why working to ground the ball towards the middle of the posts to make the conversion attempt easier is so important."
