Rule change proposal. Each team only gets 3 punts per half.

Dumb idea

LSU would have .... well they did anyway.

It’s a bad idea but I like it

Don't really like it. Seems like it would result in more blowout wins.

Teams shouldn't be punting to lose by less points.

Of course they should. Idaho St plays Texas and can't move the ball, if you say they can't punt they give the ball to

You should play to win the game, not lose by less. We would have loss by less to LSU because we quit trying to score?

Bad logic. Maybe keep yourself in the game and win or get blown out early

Horacio Caine

Punting to keep yourself in the game≠ punting to lose by less. In fact the more you trail the less you should punt,

Arguing with idiots. Read the last sentence of your post, realize that’s all

Horacio Caine

That's not all that is being said. People above praised BYU's decision to punt their hearts out against LSU because it

Okay, but what’s the difference between a 21 point blow out and a 42 point one?

I would care as a viewer. I would care as a player. So the answer would be me....and millions more

They shouldn't be forced to go for it to lose by more points, too

Skeptical Optimist

1/14/22 1:29pm

I agree they shouldn't be forced into it, but they should be playing to win. Punting a lot can be part of your strategy,

shimmy

Ok, I get what you are saying and agree.

What is currently broken that this would fix?

Too much punting.

Finally found the Football equivalent to the no offsides idea in soccer.

Offsides is a horrible rule. You get beat deal with it

If I were a coach I'd never punt once passed the 50-yard line

lbmango

1/14/22 1:03pm

I bet you would. 4th and 20 from the 49 doesn’t sound like fun.

Any idea when the last team had a 4th & 20 from the 49?

Spiff

Saw 4th and goal from the 50 in a bowl game once. One of the rare times I've

Corn Pop

1/14/22 1:17pm

That's true. Teams usually punt then.

Spiff

1/14/22 1:29pm

Believe it or not I don’t have that stat handy.

don't let Johnny hear that idea.

Squeegee

1/14/22 1:09pm

unless you have an offensive lineman do the punting!

Pangare

1/14/22 1:10pm

You dont have to punt if your defense allows 10 minute drives

panacablue

This was being discussed on Twitter yesterday, but only 3 per game.
