“The NFL fined Micah Parsons $150,000 for unsportsmanlike language”
The automatic first down penalties need to be abolished,
League bails out certain teams in the 4th quarter every week .
They should change some penalties so they give yardage but don’t change the distance for a first down.
For example let’s say it’s, 3rd and 5 at the 50 and the defense gets an encroachment penalty. Normally it’d be a first down, what I’m suggesting is that it stays 3rd and 5, but now at the 45 yard line.
I don’t think that is the fix. I think the biggest fix is bailing out bad offense with a penalty. An under thrown deep ball to a sprinting wideout is the most common. Qb throws a bad pass defender plays it perfect if it was a good pass. But it wasn’t so they get a massive penalty. In those situations they need to change the rule to account for officials discretionary rulings of uncatchable. If a ball is thrown behind a receiver sprinting full speed with a db and he suddenly stops to try and catch bad ball it shouldn’t be dbs fault.
There isn’t an equivalent for the defensive side… like, imagine offensive holding meant 5 yard penalty and automatic 4th down.
It’s demoralizing and game changing
