With that said, the current proposal is not it. First, you are only allowed to do it twice in a game. I understand that you don't want a great offense to do it over and over and the opponent is constantly kept off of the field, but if that is possible then it is obviously the wrong concept. Secondly, as has been well covered in the media, the defense is at a tremendous disadvantage late in close games as they are more tired and likely to be unable to keep up. Drive 80 yards for a score and the defense is winded, then if you convert the 4th and 15 it is almost a guarantee you are going to be able to drive for another score, as they will be even more gassed.
Whatever the solution is, it needs to remain a Special Teams play...
It should be difficult. That is what the best should be able to do to overcome to win the game.
This would just make the great play lesser and lesser and lessen the game.
I dislike it, gets rid of the hail mary and everything that makes the game great and entertaining and just fixes the game more.
The refs can just call a PI and the other team will have the ball...
