NFL to experiment with alternative to onside kick at Pro Bowl
I don't think the NFL will ever allow it to happen, but just imagine a world where we could try keep the ball out of another team's hands using our ridiculously efficient 'and long' offense for an entire half.

so lets replace the automatic holding call on returns with an automatic defensive holding call to let a team (Probably the Patriots) back in a game

I don't think it's a terrible idea.
Odds for converting probably increases 5-10%, but the "kicking" team inherits more risk. Force an incomplete pass and you get the ball at the opponent's 25 instead of the 50. I agree that automatic 1st down penalties make it a little harder to swallow, but whatever. |

The AAF league used this rule to pretty good success IIRC. The XFL rule is dumb Quote:

Chiefs would never kickoff, not bad I guess.

One thing is teams would get very very good at their 4th and 15 defense. So the #s would go down from whatever they are now.

make it 1 play to get to the 50 starting at the 25. i’m pretty sure the success rate would be around 10%

They need a replacement of some kind for the nerfed onside kick.

This piddly crap is ignorant as hell considering we're still ending games between two elite offenses based on a god damn coin flip and no one seems to care enough to raise hell about it. |
