How do we make longer field goals tougher-more likely to be missed? Shrink the target. The high drama in close games plunges when do-or-die drives need only reach the opponent’s 35 or maybe 40-yard line to set up a likely-to-be-made field goal as time expires. Kickers being this good is simply bad for the league.įans now expect kickers to be almost automatic from about 55 yards and in.
The past two seasons NFL kickers made nearly two-thirds of field goals from 50 yards and beyond: 231 of 352 (65.6 percent). Let’s not treat war as just another game alongside football let’s stop playing pretend with our young people. War is not a game like football, and the consequences of war are far more brutal and lasting than any army will admit. No more silly camouflage in team colors for the coaches, unless they really need to hide from somebody on their own team. Let’s stop using the NFL as a military recruitment tool. But you’re right to say the threat of relegation would be motivating to the bad teams. NFL season-ticket holders expecting to see Joe Burrow and Justin Herbert on the schedule won’t pay for the no-names of USFL-and that’s one of about 63 problems standing in the way. Then the worst team or teams in the NFL would be relegated after the season, and the best team or teams in the USFL would move into the NFL. The USFL would play in the fall. The championship game will be played on a Saturday when colleges will be on their bowl break. Leave the USFL team in Birmingham and put the other teams in cities without NFL teams. To make it work, the NFL would make the USFL the ‘Champions League’ and form a partnership. Relegation would have made the Hue Jackson and Brian Flores situations improbable in Cleveland and Miami.
I do not enjoy watching soccer but after watching Ted Lasso, I love the idea of relegation. The Dolphins and Jaguars met in the 2021 NFL London game at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium last October. Tim, there are so many great ideas in here that I can’t count them all. Let’s play a salute-to-service weekend matchup between the Bills and Giants in West Point. Imagine the Steelers and Eagles playing for bragging rights in front of 107,000 at Beaver Stadium. Think of what the “Winter Classic” has done to bring charm and nostalgia to the NHL.
Here they are, with brief comments from me: No Kicking In OTĪfter the initial overtime kickoff, no punting, no field goals. My thanks to all of you for your thoughtful, reasoned ideas. I will use some of your reactions- on Twitter-in my next couple of columns. It’s about presenting a think-tank of ideas-some original, some not-to generate discourse. I don’t agree with them all, but it’s not about that. So I didn’t count-I just picked those I thought were either imaginative or well thought-out. Originally I was going to use the best 10, but in reading them all, I decided there was no reason to limit the column to the 10 best.

I asked for your ideas for how to improve the NFL. Many times over the years I’ve found myself thinking, I’ve got some smart people who write to me. So when I was thinking of guest columnists for my time away, I decided to turn a column over to all of you. Today’s guest is you, the reader, with 30 ideas on improving NFL. Peter King is on vacation until July 18, and he lined up some guest writers to fill his Monday spot on Football Morning in America.
