Some times your'e with it, sometimes you're not, sometimes it's crossing at one end and it only affects kicks.  I know many want domes, but the elements make the game exciting.  But even beyond that, one team gets the ball first.  that period is timed.  why does the team with the ball last have to play against the clock to end the 1st half, but if they're tied going to the end of the game they don't?How about we just scrap it all.  Each team gets 10 possessions on offense.  They all get the ball at the 25 yard line.  They don't want punts or kicks anymore either, so special teams outside of FG's are eliminated.  Line it up, no time except for play clock.  and then if it hasn't ended in one team victorious, we're still left with what we have.  Do we flip a coin then? do we make it sudden death?  but what if the posessions aren't equal?  just keep going till there is a winner?  for how long?  none of this is better, just different.</blockquote>
