They want to lure in Gen Z with tons of offense. That's why they're allowing zany celebrations now, too. I guess I'm just an old head that misses old style football. All sports are falling victim to this mentality, so the NFL is not alone. The NBA has changed a ton as well, and all rule changes over the last 20 years have favored offense.

I'm really old school haha. And I understand we're never going back to the 1977 style of play. Hell we're not even going back to 1997. However I'd love it if there was some way to tweak the rules or somein to bring the O back down out of the stratosphere. 

I don't enjoy a 6-3 game very much but on the flip side 850 yards passing with 12 TD's between the two teams gets ? Hard to watch as well. I mean it's like why is the D even on the field ?

I don't have the answer but I hope we can get back to good old 27-21 type games.
