Change is neccesary, but too much change can greatly change and effect something beyond repair. The NFL has changed a lot recently, some for the good, some for the bad. But with so many rule changes, one has to ask, how many changes is too many changes?
It's easy to understand the revision to the rules that helps defend receivers. These new rules have greatly decreased head injuries, although it lead toots lower body injuries. It's also easy to deal with rule changes like getting rid of the tuck rule, this leads to more exciting fumbles instead of incomplete passes. Another understandable rule change is kicking off from the 35, resulting in more touch backs and less injuries. These rule changes, are understandable, and help make the game more interesting.
Not all rule changes and proposed rule changes are good. For example, this year the NFL enforced a launching rule, that resulted in the Patriots being robbed a win. The latest proposed rule change is to eliminate the extra point or change it t a 42 yard field goal. These rule changes greatly affect the game we love and are ridiculous. Why, after all these years, do we have to change a vital part of he game for no reason? Even though the extra point is almost guaranteed, it should be left alone because if someone misses it it would be that my more relevant.
Overall, most rule changes have benefitted the league and prevented injury. But lately, they have proposed ridiculous rules. I hope they can leave them game the way it is, and let the players play.
