(5,523 posts)3 players between plays. Each player would have to be able to play more than one position. Less 300# linemen. Less injuries. Holding shouldn't be called if it occurs well away from the play. Don't ask me about my ideas for basketball.

I would have loved to see the era of football before that.

They added a lot more pass happy rules since then that nowadays pro football looks unnatural.

Guarantee that Monday night K.C./L.A. game created legendary water cooler buzz Tuesday morning. What business wouldn't welcome that?
