The one rule in football I hate

[KoachKrab127]

The offensive team fumbles the football into the end zone and the football goes out of bounds. So what happens? The ball is rewarded to the other team at the 20 yard line. It's so stupid. Why should the defense be awarded possession without actually recovering the football?

If a team fumbles on the 30 yard line, and the ball rolls forward to the 32 yard line and then rolls out of bounds, the offense retains possession at the 30 yard line where the ball was fumbled. The defense has to recover the ball to earn possession on the field, so why does the end zone have to be different? If a player fumbles at the 1 yard line, and the ball rolls into the end zone and out of bounds, the offense should be given possession back for the next down where the ball was fumbled.

Yes, I was thinking about Pig vs. UGA in 2013, and Anderson vs. Bama in 2005.

It's here to stay. The science is too strong and the potential liability is huge.

Unsportsmanlike conduct for excessive celebration is my favorite. Let the kids celebrate a big play.

Absolutely... As long as they're not taunting, let em celebrate.

I have issues with the way it's enforced.

Yes, I'm still mad about the Mosley call.

 

[GAVol]

They need to update the PAT rule. Either back it up or at least put it on a hashmark or both.

 

[BleedingButch]

Thanks for the opinion Jimmy!

Hand checking should be allowed. Start calling travelling again. If you hold the ball, jab stepping, pump faking or feigning a dribble for 8 seconds, it should be a TO.

Write all the head coaches and tell them that. They've been the ones pushing for celebration penalties.

At least change the name to the "butthurt rule"

 

[BadJerry20]

I agree with the celebration rule, though I don't care if they taunt. Don't want to get taunted? Stop them.

 

[volfanstuckinga]

I hate the clock stopping after first downs....drags games out FOREVER. I'd be ok if they limited it to the last 2 minutes of each half.

Act like you have been there before. Hand the ball to the ref, and go back to the sidelines.

Nah, act like everyone is your *****... slap the ref, pee on a cheerleader, and kick the mascot.

If I understood correctly, the reason the coaches pushed for celebration and taunting rules were to prevent/lessen the chances of fights breaking out later in games or things like a player becoming a target for cheap/dirty hits or injury-intended hits as reciprocation as the game goes on.
