safety at end of game

Extra advantage? The team got a safety.

And they get the ball.

Tom Dalton is the guy who enters a conversation and gets right in your face with breath that is HAZMAT worthy. As a result, you just don't consider what he's saying.

very funny...is that the best you have? A bad breath dig on a message board where nobody is face to face. Pathetic!

You come in with an idea, that no one supports (I even gave it some consideration) and then you keep talking shit.

well...I am just trying to explain why I think the way this current rule is enforced is flawed. If nobody agrees with me then I guess I am the only one that is right! lol

Let's complicate the game even more and add an "intentional holding in the end zone, defense, while the punter was attempting to remain standing and run out the clock with his team in the lead, game automatically forfeited to the other team."

There will be a total eclipse of the sun in North America (2017) before a similar situation occurs where the punter is trying to run out the clock in the end zone. Not worth changing the rule for that exception.

The rule is fine the problem is that on 1st down down by 22 your qb should know how to audible so you don't burn a timeout and end up in that situation to begin with.

I do find it humorous how frequently teams get burned late in games because they used the timeout earlier to avoid a 5 yard penalty. My philosophy is that penalties will happen, but being given extra timeouts will not. What do these teams do when they get a holding penalty that moves them back 10 yards? (GASP!!!) If you have zero ability to overcome a 5 yard penalty, why are you even in the NFL? What cannot be overcome is the clock winding down when you have no timeouts. Yet soooo many teams do this in every game and you never see QBs see the play clock at 1 second with no hope of getting snap in time simply stand back and tell the guys to huddle back up and just take the penalty. When did such nonsense become the Standard Operating Procedure?

On 3rd down I can see the need but 1 st down gives you opportunities to overcome that 5 yards.

Especially those coming out of a TV timeout or change of possession and they can't get it together and call one of their own.
