Onside kick alternative...

The new safety rules last year made it impossible to recover a kick. So now they they are going the AAF way and implementing, if you want the ball back, you can have an untimed down and need to gain 15 yards. You make it you get the ball back and if not then the opposing team gets the ball....

I REALLY don't like this.

Now teams can just decide to keep going for it, especially if they have momentum or whatever; yeah its the rule, but it takes away, "fairness," IMO.

That means that hypothetically, the opposing offense can NEVER get the ball, throughout an entire game, as the "kicking team," can decide to constantly go for it.

I know that won't happen, but I don't like this idea at all.
