Football would be safer with 4 points for a touchdown and 2 points for a field goal.

Sorry, just trying to anticipate the next stupid NFL rule change.

    I was trying to anticipate the next stupid coinstartled thread but sure didn't see this one coming.

    I was trying to figure out how these point changes would affect safety.

    With only two point difference between TDs & FGs there would be more FG attempts. FG attempts are much safer than going for TD. Now make the extra point attempt a loss of one point if good and a loss of two points if missed. ( Traditional two point attempt outlawed for players safety.) I can see the day football will be so safe they will not need helmets.

    Games would be closer so coaches would be more apt to keep their starters in late. Less players on the field to get injured!

    Perhaps they could make it illegal to touch the quarterback. He could sit back there all day to pass and run the scores up to something like 700 to 630. Eighty or 90 touchdowns a game would cool. ;)

    Giant Padded Football Helmets to reduce brain injuries and concussions. Looks pretty dumb, but I can see how it would work. Like a bunch of giant bobbleheads on the field. Maybe the humor aspect might help teams that are going 2-14 like the Redskins? Buy a ticket and get a few laughs?

    I got it!!!! A spin off of 1970's electric football game

    Each player is off field and controls a robot. Kinda like drone racing

    That way u run called plays and nobody ever gets hurt.

    You can have 2 versions of this game. A evil version like rock-em-sock-m robots where you get extra points to punch the opposing QB head off
