How in the world did the NFL not pass that new onside kick rule? What a colossal blunder.
The idea seemed almost too good to be true if you ask me. In case you were unaware, the alternative to the onside kick that was suggested would give teams the option to attempt an untimed fourth-and-15 from their own 25 in order to retain possession after a score. If the play failed, the opponent would have taken control at the dead-ball spot.
The league reportedly never actually took an official vote on the proposal but did ask for a virtual show of hands.
