    I am absolutely down with centralized replay thats completely out of the hands of the officials on the field, and not requiring the coaches to challenge. Put an official on every game in the main office. There are only about a max of 10 at a time. Then he choses to tell the field ref to stop so the office can review. Its done quickly, and the field ref explains it and moves on. Simple.

    The bolded is why I like Sirius NFL Radio. That's pretty much describes it in a nutshell.

    Among other things I like the idea of non flagrant pass interference with a 10 or 15 yard penalty instead of a spot foul. In lieu of this I would want pass interference reviewable. Too many bogus calls in my view.

    yea that is what I would do. I would bring back PrimeTime. That was my favorite show on television. It was so well done. Great production, good music. Best highlight show I have ever watched.

    There are definitely some fairly obvious ones I think.

    -A developmental/minor league, and allow players to join it at 18.
    -Redoing PAT's (I like either elimination in favor of 2 pt tries or having the scoring player kick it).
    -Removing the ghastly PI rules (except a real mugging, when a spot could be awarded still) and defensive holding (no auto first down).
    -Challengeable penalties.
    -Better drug testing.
    -Better reply system (centralized).

    A little more radical:

    -Realignment. I am a big proponent, and hate the "rivalries, tradition!" excuse. The best rivalry in the game right now is San Fran/Seattle which is not a traditional rivalry at all. We can build a new rivalry with fierce competition and bad blood. I wouldn't mind if the NFL took one of the "at large" games and made it a "non division rivalry week" game though.
    -League Expansion (needed if having a London team at some point). Not a huge fan of this as the talent pool is already fairly thin for premium players like QBs imo.
    -Field expansion, namely widening. I would like to see it as it could really open some possibilities. Might be needed if cut blocking is outlawed (which it should).
    -GPS type tech for the ball and goal line.
    -Killing the Punting game (would interest me to see it in action a few times at any rate).
    -Reducing field goal points, or changing the value of the points (less for a close attempt to encourage aggression).
    -Move the damn trade deadline back to week 8 or 10. I would love to see more trades made.

    Still a great idea. I am sure we could come up with something to accomplish what you were wanting. I am opposed though to eliminating the human element to the game. Seems like if we did that the game would be boring. How would you get a computer to have judgement?

    Ok so what if you gave the best spots to the middle of the pack instead of dooming some poor chap to play on a team that will suck his whole career?

    screw the top seed. If your that good, win out to win it. Giving the best team a break is almost unfair.

    that would be very cool. But is there enough questionable calls to warrant the cost of installation?

    I would do away with the afc east because the Patriots always gets the most positive press. and Miami JUST doesn't belong there .

    I would put the Colts in the east and put Miami in the south . would change the nfc east and the nfc south .
