NFL- I’d like to see them get rid of spot foul PI calls and go to the 15 yard penalty like college. This way it doesn’t bail out a team just throwing 75 yard bomb and hoping a ref throws a flag to get them a game-winning field goal.

NCAAF- adopt the NFL’s rule of letting the runner get back up if they’re untouched.

I don't like the suggestion for the NFL. Guys are good enough at that level to be intentional about it when they are beat over the top.

I agree on the NCAA suggestion.

NFL, get rid of the new kickoff rule. Get rid of the PF on hits when the QB runs, ref it just like a running back.

NCAA, call the holds on the OLine tighter. Feels like they have went the way of Baseball with wanting more offense.
 
Oh how can I forget the most obvious?

Overtime

The NFL can’t get it right. They suck at it. College has done well except I don’t even like their two point conversion sudden death stuff.

Lol! I've argued that one a bunch on here. I'm in the minority, I liked the old way but am ok with the new way as well. People discount how hard it is to drive the length of the field in the NFL. The games are mostly low scoring but for some reason people feel it's too easy to drive the field in OT.

Love you're first one. Pass interference calls (many bogus and just not necessary) are already much too impactful on the college game and its that much worse with a spot call in the NFL. Just like a turnover a bad PI can change an entire game with an iffy call on an uncatchable ball thrown 15 yards over the WR head. Instead they get 40 yards and first down.

Dont even get me started on the underthrown deep ball where they penalize the DB for running into a WR whose stopped his route. DB is running full out with his back turned trying to stay within 10 inches of a guy without touching him and they expect him to see the ball in the back of his had and somehow turn around last second or stop. Let them try that!!! On underthrown balls, unless the DB pushes or grabs its a free ball and any contact from bumping into a stopped WR should be incidental contact and no foul. They've made it almost impossible play that position anymore.
 
In college get rid of the dumb rule where u have to sit out a play if your helmet comes off. WTF? Put it on and play.
