Would you like these changes in NFL?

Watching the XFL and their new rules makes me think of some new rules in NFL. Team who wins coin toss and the start of the game gets the ball 4th and 10 on thier own 15. They can eithe punt or try to convert a 1st down at the 25. However if they don t convert opponent gets the ball 1st and t0 at their 15. second half starts same way with a coin toss. and winning team gets ball 4 and 10 from thier own 15. Touchdowns are seven points automatically. Why need to kick a what is usually an extra poiint. Teams can go for 2 like normal. After team scores touchdown or field goal they get ball 4 and 10 at their own 15. They can try to convert to keep possession or punt. No kickooffs. This could help a team who is behind. They can go for it on 4th and 10 on the 15 to maintain possession and try to come from behind. Overtime becomes sudden death. First team scores wins

    So you are basically suggesting the rule that the NFL is already looking in to for kickoffs? I think they want to go fourth and 15 though, and different yardage, which makes sense. I have no idea what the XFL has to do with ANY of your suggestions though, not sure why you brought it up. Not how their kickoffs work(wouldn't mind the NFL switching to their style though) and not how the OT would work in the XFL. Although I do favor going back to sudden death OT in the NFL.

    I like the game better the way it was before. Much harder hits. It was way more exciting.

    No. Muddled and not the least bit interesting.

    No, I wouldn't like those changes to football.

    "This could help a team who is behind."  <<<  So you want to manipulate the game to help a team which is losing?  Why?

    Why would any team go for a 4th and long deep in their own territory to start a game?  

    PATs are a part of the game and actually do make games more exciting when they are missed (which is about 7% of the time these days.)  By your logic, a team who gets inside the 20 should just be given 3 points if they want it since its no different than a PAT kick attempt.

    Sudden death is the wrong way to go.  Competition calls for each team to get an equal chance.  If it should be changed, it should be more like college.

    I like people thinking outside the box, but this is nonsense.
