    It'd work this year, sure, but I think 2019 was a perfect example of why the BCS was broken. We had 13-0 LSU, 13-0 Ohio State, and 13-0 Clemson. Who do you leave out? There's no good answer. That possibility alone makes the 4 team playoff better than the BCS.

     

    And also last year where the title game would have been Bama vs Michigan

    But at the same time, the finances of professional sports aren't transparent enough for us to really understand whether there's a need for this revenue or if it's just another opportunistic cash grab. 

     

    Actually they are and it's the latter

    at the end of the day caring about that part is kind of foolish in the grand scheme of things.

     

    Not at all. Advertising is a cancer

    im going to disagree with this. Not that I have a problem with the rule, but I feel like every time it actually comes into play, there’s always people - whether the announcers, or (usually) fans of the team that it went against, who bring it up and question it.   I’d assume that if there was a referendum among NFL fans, changing it would win. 
     

    that said, yeah - the end zone is different and I don’t have an issue with different rules, even though something like that that’s so game changing seems like a pretty harsh penalty. I don’t think it’s comparable to a safety, since you can’t snap the ball from within your own end zone so it needs to be a turnover, whereas a fumble can’t be advanced, so there’s an argument to be made for simply returning the ball to the spot of the fumble. 
     

     

     

    The only time you can't advance a recovered fumble is if it's 4th down, or inside the two-minute warning.

    Music City Miracle, Bills at Titans in 99 is another one. Probably less laterals in that one, and one was *ahem* suspect, but it did win a playoff game and lead to Tennessee reaching the Super Bowl. 

     

    That was only one lateral, and it was more of a designed return play than a hope & prayer fustercluck. I view it the same as I do a hook and lateral, basically

  6. The only multi-lateral plays I can remember succeeding in the NFL are the Miami Miracle and the River City Relay. Rodgers alone has more successful Hail Marys than that. If teams are going to switch to doing the former then they need to start practicing it, because every attempt this year has been woefully bad. That, or pay a marching band to rush the field.

    From the latest update on the site, I love seeing all the teams' helmets together.

     

    Yeah this is great. It really shows off how well balanced the helmet colors are in the league
