That was my response to this:Don't they already do that?
No untimed downs? So on a Hail Mary bring someone and just freaking hammer the QB, right?
Pull the receiver down?
Game over?

No worries. Beer drinking is sunup to sundown on Saturdays in the Fall.Shorten the game, shorten the amount of beer drinking time. This will never work.
You mean like has happened since football began?Also teams that are based around running the ball can purposely shorten the game against better opponents.
Who waits until sunrise for that first beer?No worries. Beer drinking is sunup to sundown on Saturdays in the Fall.
Or Saturdays??Who waits until sunrise for that first beer?
I took it to mean the same team can't call two time outs in a row like when trying to freeze the field goal kicker.So if Team A calls a timeout to set up for the field goal would Team B not be allowed to call one?
Yeah, but TV is paying the money. It’s no different than why churches (in most cases) have music that cater to the tastes of their biggest donors.Do away with halftime and extend the break between quarters a bit. TV wouldn't like it but that is why we are in this situation in the first place.
The Million Dollar Band would like a word with you...Do away with halftime and extend the break between quarters a bit. TV wouldn't like it but that is why we are in this situation in the first place.
What they need to do away with is that nonsense about how just as the center snaps the field goal kick, some schmuck calls a timeout.Icing the kicker. You can call a timeout, just not back to back without a play being ran.

Smokescreen for their - for our - inherent noblesse oblige on behalf of the chain gang - you know, fearing mass myocardial infarction as they're forced to race up and down the sideline to keep up with the return of murderball. Of course they'll get a respite as the reintensified Saban Death Star defense 3-and-outs their recovery time...I find it hilarious the idea of Alabama fans not liking the idea of running the football and stopping the run as key to win a football game in 2023.
No untimed downs at the end of the 1st or 3rd quarter; they carry over. There would still be untimed downs before the half and at the end of the game.No untimed downs? So on a Hail Mary bring someone and just freaking hammer the QB, right?

It'll shorten the game. The NFL has been playing by these rules since at least the 1970s and their games are considerably shorter despite all the TV timeouts. (Part of it is that the NFL halftime is 12 minutes vs 20 for FBS but the clock rules matter.)This isn’t going to shorten the game. It will just add more time for commercials.
You can't call a second timeout until a play has been run. The NFL did this years ago.Didn't read the article, but based on the summary by BN above: If you call a timeout, you can't call another one until the opponent has called one?
As in any debate, the necessary first step is to define your terms.I like the new rules and I know they are doing it to "shorten the game". You know what would really shorten the game? Not have 2 hours of commercials.
I think they're trying to do both.As in any debate, the necessary first step is to define your terms.
To the Rules Committee, "shorten the game" means reduce the number of times young men will run at each other and collide.
For you and me, it means, reduce the time between kick off and quad zeros on the scoreboard clock.
