How do we fix the NFL?
That's not the NFL
stop concussions senpai
let men be men and play the damn gane
Competent refs
>>64475192
kill this platitude machine
>>64475300
amen
also kill goodell, because he cannot do anything right as a commish
Get rid of the QB position.
Same as the NBA: don't tie draft picks to regular season performance.
Simple as can be: have a lottery after the regular season ends and a random draw on live tv. It would work even better in the NBA.
>>64475409
Or don't have a draft at all
>>64475140
concussion are never preventable therefore it will always happens regardless
>>64475096
that was such a crappy call
>>64475096
Ban Ron Cherry
>>64475096
soft covered helmets with non-Newtonian padding. like those 3do snowboarding helmets.
change shoulder pads to soft while your at it, hockey did that years ago to stop concussions
enforced full usada drug testings
some sort of hurry up rules to shorten telecasts or games.
nhl quality reviews of plays on the instant.
start 1 month earlier, have 2 by-weeks, and 2 more games as well a bigger break between regular season and playoffs.
>>64475409
The NFL has zero problem with this. Even bad teams can beat great ones and often do even late into the season. If anything the bad teams need more help getting better as drafting one or two great players aren't good enough to turn a team around the way it does in the NBA.
less commercials than gameplay
>>64476967
The word you need is "fewer" not "less", milkbag.
Lrn2English
>>64476990
You're mistaken. Less is correct.
Lrn2English.
>>64477819
how many gameplays is it
>>64475350
Goodell is the best comish ever and I mean it.
He literally doesn't give an earthly fuck about things like how many games is Brady gonna be suspended or pussification of the rules. He is there to bring more MONEY to the league and he excels at that.
So yeah Goodell is here to stay.
>>64475096
ban those huge pads and helmuts. Ban commercials outside of breaks. Make the plays last longer with plays only ending for a penalty / out. This can be done by allowing players to be tackled and have the ball stolen off them if one of their team mates doesnt reach them in time to carry on the play. Stop throwing the ball forward.
Yes this is bantz
>>64478781
>ban pads
Players get hurt at an astronomic rate and by week 7 you'll see Tom Brady on crutches while Johny McBackup plays against Matt Benchwarmer and league loses money.
>less commercials
Likewise, league loses money.
Unless there's a huge customer boycott, the shit you propose will never happen.
more concussions
Clock runs non-stop unless a timeout is used.
There, fixed 90% of time spread issues.
>>64478893
this
>>64478868
>amerifats too weak to play sports without padding
Reduce the playclock to 25 and unify the rulebooks. There's no good reason for the NFL and NCAA to be playing by (albeit slightly) different rules. Take the better ones from each (e.g. NFL's two foot catch and down only by contact, NCAA's DPI and lack of a two minute warning)
Stars above the logo instead of rings.
>>64476857
non-Newtonian padding? I swear that'll be worse for impact, it's like falling onto a pool of custard from 30ft up rather than falling onto a foam mat
>>64479314
At least we're not Anglos.
>>64479314
>rugby is so soft that it doesn't require padding to keep the athletes alive
Let players play defense, basically revert the pass interference, illegal contact, and roughing the passer calls to 1970 levels.
Every week, release the grades of each ref for every game so everyone knows which refs are good and which are shit, publicly shame and demote underperforming refs.
>>64480328
Or have full time refs instead of office drones who work as refs 1 day a week.
>>64480361
None of them would agree to that
>>64479338
>There's no good reason for the NFL and NCAA to be playing by (albeit slightly) different rules.
Yes there is
One is professional, the other is amateur
you cant. its way too expensive for schools. football as we know it is gonna die. either turn to touch football or it will die. there is a reason why soccer is the most popular sport, its dirt fucking cheap. schools can do socialist subsidization of sports anymore when Tyrone is in his 7th year of High School.
>>64475825
He's gonna give u the business senpai
>>64480494
can't*
get peyton manning off Human Growth Hormones
>>64480494
this article tells of the injuries but the bigger problem is cost. football equipment and insurance for injuries is just too fucking much money for school's to bare.

>>64475096
Go back to leather helmets
Anyone launching themselves head first or initiating a head-to-head hit is suspended for an entire season
Ads on jerseys so we dont have to deal with
>kickoff

>fumble
>boner commercial
>review
>toyota commercial
>touchdown
>Miller lite commercial

>>64480540
Schools drop sports all the time
Many don't even have football
But that's not a sign it will die off
>>64480562
No one cares about that
>>64480588
>sure son. thats why Cursive handwriting is so widespread after schools cut funding to teach it. Once something stops getting taught or available people move on from it.
>>64480588
>no one cares about too many commercials
Hi Mr Shekelstein.
>>64480588
>no one cares about bad tackling form
>no one cares about constant head injuries
>no one cares about the sport they allegedly love being interrupted by constant ads every three minutes
Ok
>>64480625
Yes
An outdated writing style and the most popular sport in the country will have the exact same circumstances
>>64480637
The only ones who care are the British and you
>>64480646
No
Yes
If you'd ever been to a game you'd know the commercials are just taking advantage of a situation. They didn't invent breaks for commercials
>>64480498
no vaseline right senpai
>>64480668
i bet you enjoy cable tv and its commercials. top cuck. no one likes commercials here either. why you think people are cutting the cord to cable? you are a corportist appologist for standing up for commercials after every fucking turnover of downs or kickoff. There is no need for breaks on turnovers because the defense/offense of the opposing teams are already rested on the sidelines.
>>64480753
I don't
It's just not a major problem
>>64477853
>>64477819
The problem is he is comparing discrete things (commercials) to continuous things (gameplay), so while it should be fewer for the former it would be less of the latter
>>64480794
>commercials
>not major
yes it is when they cause games to last 2 hours longer then need be. not everyone is a NEET with no life. some of us like going out and using ourweekends for other things.
Cut down on commercials, if that means ads on jerseys then put ads on jerseys for fucks sake.
Increase roster size to 60 total players with 50 active on game days.
Add two more regular season games, shorten preseason and add a second bye week.
Expand designated to return IR to 5 players per team.
Let dbs play defense again.
Allow penalties to be challenged.
Make the refs full time and fire the fuck out of them when they fuck up. Hire younger more athletic refs. More cameras for better and more accurate reviews. Simplify the rule book so its clear what is and isn't legal so there is less confusion.
Make all NFL players sign waivers absolving the NFL and its teams of any and all responsibility for injuries. You chose to play the game the risk is all on you if you get fucking crippled or become a rage retard from cte.
That would be a good starting point.
>>64480796
>The problem is he is comparing discrete things (commercials) to continuous things (gameplay), so while it should be fewer for the former it would be less of the latter
That's why we should use "less" in every case, except when it would be misleading like "I make fewer and less severe mistakes".
>>64475096
start by shooting Goodell.
>>64480693
Ive been to plenty of games. I dont need to piss or grab a beer more than five times total. There are a lot more than five breaks.
If you actually think the number of breaks in an NFL is normal or palatable, that is really pathetic, I dont even know what to say, you are literally the only person who thinks that. Im guessing you dont even think it, just being a contrarian faggot
>people bitch endlessly about goodell
>owners almost universally praise him and he keeps getting raises/bonuses
it's almost like you guys are retarded or something. at the very least, you have no idea where to direct your displeasure.
>>64475300
>hitting heads
>not grabbing a gun and killing him
Whitest niggers I've ever seen in my life.
>>64481004
>I dont need to piss or grab a beer more than five times total. There are a lot more than five breaks.
You obviously haven't grasped the idea behind breaks
>>64480837
Why in the name of fuck would we want to add more regular season games
get rid of all the personal conduct and player safety rules put in place recently i don't want to watch a safe game without criminals and drug addicts
>>64480588
>>64480794
>nobody cares about commercials
Fatposting at its finest.
>>64480837
>Allow penalties to be challenged
>Cut down on commercials
>>64480693
the elongate breaks for commercials. NFL games last ~3 hours, realistically they could be like 2:15 or 2:30. Is that enough to stop watching over? Probably not. But it certainly keeps it from being perfect.
>>64481083
because the owners are all jews and all they care about is money
>Kevlar padding
>slow down game so no injuries
>nerf football
>walls like arena with padding
>unlimited downs till you score so everyone feels like a winner
>rule where coach has to play everyone at least once so no one feels left out
>sponsors on jerseys
>all games before 2 pm so all players get a good nights sleep
>healthy menus only at stadiums
>>64481244
>>sponsors on jerseys
Suicide yourself tbqhwyfamalamdingaling
>>64481241
that still doesn't explain why someone would hate goodell.
>>64481241
Most "red blooded" Neocon Americans are too stupid to realize Jews are ruining their lives with capitalism.
>>64481263
hello Brazilian hipster.
>>64481241
You act like the sole purpose behind the NFL is anything other than making money
>>64481105
Tell me why we need 2+ hours of breaks in an NFL game. You keep claiming theres a legitimate reason beyond advertising but you have yet to back up your bullshit.
>>64481291
>hipster
NFL tops sports television in sundays with no
>muh soccer
easily. ESPN making millions with it.
>>64481307
Not that guy, and I think there are too many commercials, but
>2+
even the most aggressive estimates are much lower than this figure.
>>64481341
Ironic how the rich Brazilians that hate the monkeys from the favelas are all fans of the blackest sports league in the Americas.
>>64481307
The breaks are extended for advertising
But transitions would produce a lot if downtime regardless
And few if any would be turned off because of it
So it doesn't matter
>>64481307
so you have plenty of time to shitpost on /sp/ without missing any of the game
>>64481302
you realize at one point in time when Jews did not run the Western World sports were simply for having fun and maybe for watching when you had nothing else to do. Jews made it so people are utterly obsessed with sports that they spend their entire free time watching it. Jews ruined society in more ways than one.
>>64481400
an anyone who says stormweenie or >muh juice all you need to do is look at the ethnicity of all American sports league owners. The NBA has the most jews in them with NFL second.
Every single decision, including rule changes to 'enhance player safety', is made with ONE thing in mind - capitalization.
It's always been this way.
What bothers me is how little the nfl tries to hide it today. It's insulting.
I stopped following football 2 years ago due to all this shit. Can't stand all the advertisements and rule changes that sap the soul from the game.
Americans are pussies today.
Every little thing that might give an owie is outlawed in our sports.
My niece just got a trampoline for christmas
With a fucking handle bar on it...
My friends and i never needed any handle bars when we were young.
Fuck the nfl and fuck all this protective b.s.
>>64481362
Not just that, but some of us also like NBA a lot, which is blacker by the day.
Larry Bird BTFO.
>>64481368
>nobody turns off their TV so it doesnt matter
But the poibt of this thread is how to improve the game. You could say that to any suggestion because nobody has turned off their TV yet. But that doesnt mean there arent ways to improve the game.
>>64481400
Okay stop memeing
College sports was the ones with the "pure" tradition
But pro leagues here only had the intention of making money
It wasn't for anything else
And you know what? That's okay
They produce an entertaining product worth spending money on.
But the intention wasn't anything but making money
>>64475096
You can't. It's broken beyond repair
>>64481445
OP says "fix"
It's not broken
>>64481422
most of them aren't jews tho
>>64481368
This. Plus imagine a game of chess. You spend more time strategizing than actually moving the pieces but thats the nature of the game. Its pretty analogous to football
>>64481432
It's only a matter of time until playing on the street outside is against the law because of the potential for skinned knees.
This is the problem with the nfl, and reflects a greater issue in our society today in the U.S.
Want to fix it?
Don't be a capatalist country full of liberal pussies.
This won't happen.
>>64481368
3 minute commercial breaks are not the same as 45 seconds max of the offense/defense switching.
>>64481573
did you respond to yourself?
>>64481599
I did. I wanted to add that to what i said.
You got a problem with that?
>>64481450
money is the root of all evil. The capitalism neo con cucks worship now is responsible for mass immigration and degradation of morals in society. Because of it we have children growing up worshipping thugs who beat women and commit crimes all because he can fucking catch a ball or bounce it. Americans have been so fucked by Jews we are worshipping the very system that causes our society downfall. If we only had a strict influence by sydications made of LOCAL elected officials then we would be a great nation where every man had a job and immorality would be shunned instead of accepted.
