Goodell considering getting rid of kickoffs

I think Roger Goodell is out of his mind for considering getting rid of the kickoff, what do you all think about this?

Lol, I'm pretty sure that would never happen and if it did that might be the final straw with fans.

I just want them to get rid of forward passes. It causes nothing but trouble for my team.

The NFL would be out of their mind if they allow this. A lot of players are only in the league because of their ability to return or defend kickoffs. Devin Hester and Josh Cribbs have been the best return guys of this past decade (maybe of all time). Without kickoffs it's possible they wouldn't even had been discovered by their respective teams. Yes, there are punt returns, but sometimes you make a statement on KR before the coach has you returning punts.amari24

We should remove all plays from scrimmage too. ****'s brutal. Did you know that someone gets hit every single play? Barbaric. monkeytoes61

I remember a few years ago they were thinking off getting rid of the extra point kick after a TD, that didn't go to well. Every time they think they want to remove something it just doesn't work out.

Obviously i'm not a fan but I doubt this will be Goodell's call in the end. it's probably a ways off but if the competition committee decides there's really not a whole lot he's going to be able to go.

NFL's competition committee consists of Head Coaches and GM's with a sub committee of more coaches/gm's. I understand the safety concerns but unless they are in the back pocket of Goodell, I don't see it happening. It would ensure the loss of NFL players' and coaches' jobs and the NFLPA would never let it happen.

I was against the idea until I actually heard what they are going to replace with. Aparently the scoring team will get the ball on it's own 30 in a 4th and 15 and they can decide to go for it or punt the ball. Punt returns are still plenty exciting and it could make for more interesting games down the stretch because lets face it, it's a lot easier to convert a 4th and 15 then it is to recover an onside kick. I'd love to see them do this on a trial basis during next years preseason.

Good Christ, no. Just...no.

They picked 4th and 15 because it has the same exact success rate as recovering an onside kick does
