Default Suggested Rule change for the NFL

On a kickoff, you get the ball on the 35 yard line. Throw one pass for 20 yards and you're down to the opponents' 45 yard line. From there, your kicker makes a 62 yard field goal. Getting to be pretty easy for the kicker and a raw deal for a defense that did pretty well.

I think the goal posts need to be narrowed from their current 18' 6" to 15'. These 60+ yard field goals are getting too common place.

Agreed ...... move the kick-off spot back to the 30 yard-line, especially with the place-kickers routinely nailing 60-yard field goals like they used to nail 40-yarders 35 years ago.

When Scott Norwood missed the potentially game-winning field goal in the 1990 season Super Bowl against the Giants, it was a 47-yard attempt ...... that was considered a very long field goal at that time, and back then people were saying things like they can't believe that the ball had enough leg on it to make it from 55 or 60 yards, it was just a tad wide-right.

How about just eliminating the K-Ball? Why should the kicker have the advantage of a grooming the football to his liking?

Damn he's a kicker!

Need to go back to the old way. This shit of wanting it to be Madden type scores are ridiculous and are just looking for higher ratings. By doing so they are ruining the sport.

Last Sunday the Colts D did not give up a single TD, yet they lost. I'm sure the game ball went to Jason Myers for his 6 field goals. At this pace, it won't be long before a kicker is the MVP of the league and the highest paid player on the field.

STOP THE INSANITY! NARROW THE GOAL POSTS.
