Does it bother anyone else that now touchbacks are on the 30 yard line now? With the range of field goal kicks are we just never going to see drives where no points are allowed?
The NFL keeps trying to fix its own issues instead of stepping back and seeing the big picture. The game is hurting because of it, at least to real fans which is why they need the new audience.
I get it, but overall there will be a lot fewer. And it's completely artificial it's like making the net bigger in hockey. It's not more points due to better skill, but the offense getting all of the advantages.
I think I've come to terms with the fact they're going to continue making changes that prioritize profits over the game until it's watered down and unwatchable
Private equity getting their foot in the door is the beginning of the end.
Hopefully it takes a while or maybe they reverse course but I'm not holding my breath on the latter
Since injuries were the reason why the KO rules were changed

I generally feel the same as you. This is very much not the game I loved as a young man.
Last year with record low returns it was basically erased from the game. Definitely need to see more of this new format to form an opinion, but I'm glad they're trying something.

Simple answer is to move if back to the 30 again.

You would think that both the CFL and NFL would change their kick off's if that were the case.

Yup. No way teams risk big returns. They’ll just give the ball to the other team at the 30 to eliminate that risk completely
