The NFL amends its rulebook every year, and yet we’re nowhere nearer to universal satisfaction with the way the game is regulated. Here are just some of the rules (or lack thereof) that come to mind as most heavily scrutinized:
- Ball-carriers fumbling the ball through the end zone boundary is a turnover even though the defense never had possession. The alternative suggestions are possession at the 1-yard line or from where the spot where the ball was fumbled. I can think of a few times the Seahawks may have benefited from the existing rule.
