I thought the 30 was too much.  I don’t like this 

[Whkfc]

Just put em at mid field while your at it.

Why not have teams just try onside kicks?

What I’d like to see withKOs…..

 

if the kick bounces two times in the field ( inside the sideline hashmarks) of play then goes out of bounds — the ball is placed there.  no or 1 bounce or 2 nd bounce isalong  hash marks   it goes to normal out of bounds spot.

There is enough scoring in the NFL. This is getting ridiculous now.

Yup. Let’s get it back to the 20 where it should be.

He finally hired a real special teams coach.

They are trying to create a real incentive for teams to kick short of the goal line to increase the number of returns. They can't find the line between entertainment and player safety. 

[Matt_In_NH]

They want returns.  That will

make that happen.

So basically one 25 yard play will put you in FG range? 🤣🤣🤣

[loveorhatembillsfan4life]

I actually think this is great and was discussed by coaches last season. I think Sean Payton said even just moving it up five yards will create more returns as teams will now be more reluctant to kick through the end zone.

Really hope the Bills win the Super Bowl soon so that I can stop watching the NFL altogether. It's now a perversion of a once great game.

Its just getting more ridiculous. Go back to the old rules, this is idiotic.

Completely agree. Either i stop when the  Bills win a superbowl or when Josh Allen isn’t playing  for the Bills anymore.

No kickoffs,kickoff, just start at the 25 yard lines.

[BuffaloBillyG]

This makes it a felony to return a kick out of the end zone. Or to kick it into the end zone.

[Doc Brown]

Helps the Bills.  One of the unintended consequences of moving the ball out to the 30 is teams scored more and it was more pronounced with better Quarterbacks.  A lot of the 4th and 3 from the opponents 47 was an easier cal than a 4th and 3 from your own 48.  I still don't like it though because I'm a curmudgeon who likes when extra points were 20 yards and kickoffs were kicked from 30 yards.

[Donuts and Doritos]

Stop ***** w/ the game!

[Brand J]

College still has the traditional kickoff. Wonder how they get away with it.

[billsfan714]

Maybe they can just outlaw playing defense soon.

[Warriorspikes51]

Can we go like 10 seasons without playing around with rules please?
