Mark Vader Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 Aside from Compensatory Picks being awarded and the 2014 regular season schedule being worked on. There are a lot of rule changes being decided at this year's annual meeting. http://www.nflevolution.com/article/player-safety-changes-might-be-subtle-at-next-week%27s-nfl-meeting?ref=0ap2000000336073 What do you think?

CowgirlsFan Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 Good move on considering illuminating the OT's in preseason. Baseball rarely plays extra innings. Good move on the late cutdown. Gives players more time to make the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nucci Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 When discussing moving XP back farther, how come no one brings up 2 PT conversion? How can a team go for 2 if the ball is at the 25 yd line? Unless it missed it somewhere..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALF Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 The NFL is not considering moving the ball back from the 2-yard line for 2-point tries, so coaches will be under intense scrutiny as they proceed after each touchdown. And with the 2-point try succeeding at a 50 percent clip in the past three years, it might make more strategic sense to go for two a majority of the time – particularly if you have big targets to throw to or you’re saddled with a mediocre middle-distance kicker. http://tbo.com/sports/bucs/kaufman-nfl-to-consider-extra-points-from-25-yard-line-20140323/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nucci Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 (edited) So a team has to inform the refs if they are going for 1 or 2 ? So if the snap is mishandled you're screwed. No chance to convert? I don't care for this change. No fake attempts either. Edited March 24, 2014 by nucci Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now does this mean we can eliminate the "Inactive List"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed_Formerly_of_Roch Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 Just means you need to run it in from the 25. Considering how everyone is bunched at the line, probably not that much tougher than from the two as once you're past the initial group of players, likely would have a clear field ahead.

stuckinny Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 Game day roster from 46 to 49 and practice squad from 8 to 10, common sense changes long overdue. (sorry quoted wrong person) But....just devils advocate but doesn't that give a training camp player less time to latch onto a new team by delaying the cut down period?

BillsFan-4-Ever Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 interesting - 4. Extend the uprights to make them five feet taller. PASSED - that may change the outcome of 3 to 5 games this season very interesting - 11. Don’t stop the clock on a sack. PASSED I like this one - 10. ... making the recovery of a loose ball in the field of play reviewable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsFan-4-Ever Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 update - preseason only --- For the first two preseason games, teams will line up to snap extra points from the 20-yard line, making them about 38 yards instead of 20 WHY is Bellyache (and or Kraft) pushing this issue? how I'd love to see NE on a "game tying" drive and miss the PAT and lose the game!!!
