If you could change one thing in the NFL......

Stricter conduct policy would go a long way in making NFL less of an embarrassment. At this point, the NFL is not something to be proud of.

If they ban or heftily suspend and fine for criminal activity, the NFL could at least give off the impression that their players are respectable.

 

I hate the way how weak this sport has becoming. I know it's all about the players safety these days, but dang. When you have players flopping to draw a flag is ridiculous. I would love to be watching NFL games during the Jim Brown era or the Steelers steel curtain.

It's so bad my wife has noticed and she doesn't watch football.

 

I hate how stringent the roughing and unnecessary roughness calls have become. It's really hurt the way teams play defense. I understand helmet to helmet, but hitting a QB in the knees or just hitting someone as hard as you can should be legal. Football will always be a rough game and there's not getting around it. I don't want to see them playing flag football out there in 10 years.

 

It's that and all of these penalty flags that's being thrown during a game. I wouldn't mind them lowering the number penalties. They obvious create new ones every year. Imagine how this game would be in the next 5-10 years.

 

The rules slant heavily to the offense.

I guess that would encompass a lot of things; roughing the passer, pass interference, illegal contact, helmet-to-helmet.

Of those I guess I'd select helmet-to-helmet. Unavoidable in most cases, especially when the offensive player is ducking his head in to the contact.
