The ridiculous proposal to replace onside kicks with having teams run a 4th and 15 play from their own 35 has thankfully been defeated, according to the NFL Network.
It's hard to put into words just how against that stupid rule John Mara was, but even he feared it would pass.

Do any of you who are against this proposal have a better suggestion?
I'm not sure the exact proposal, but I say replace all kickoffs with 4th and 15, which will usually result in the team punting the ball deep, but they will have the option of trying a fake punt to catch the other team off guard, or run a play to try to pick up a first down.
...
Unless you have OBJ on the "Hands" team making business decisions like Cam in the Superbowl.

Onside kicks SHOULD be almost impossible to pull off. You don’t want to have to try an onside kick? Don’t get your ass kicked for 58 minutes and put yourself in that position
I'd opt to onsides kick every single time against the Giants if it passed.

onside kicks are virtually impossible to recover with recent changes to kickoff rules.

A better solution is to let the team that played better the first 58 minutes win the game. I hate rules that give the lesser team a better chance to win.
