On a kickoff, you get the ball on the 35 yard line. Throw one pass for 20 yards and you're down to the opponents' 45 yard line. From there, your kicker makes a 62 yard field goal. Getting to be pretty easy for the kicker and a raw deal for a defense that did pretty well.
I think the goal posts need to be narrowed from their current 18' 6" to 15'. These 60+ yard field goals are getting too common place.

Just go back to the kickoff the way it was before the NFL fucked it up

Agreed ...... move the kick-off spot back to the 30 yard-line, especially with the place-kickers routinely nailing 60-yard field goals like they used to nail 40-yarders 35 years ago.
When Scott Norwood missed the potentially game-winning field goal in the 1990 season Super Bowl against the Giants, it was a 47-yard attempt ...... that was considered a very long field goal at that time, and back then people were saying things like they can't believe that the ball had enough leg on it to make it from 55 or 60 yards, it was just a tad wide-right.

How about just eliminating the K-Ball? Why should the kicker have the advantage of a grooming the football to his liking?
Damn he's a kicker!

Need to go back to the old way. This shit of wanting it to be Madden type scores are ridiculous and are just looking for higher ratings. By doing so they are ruining the sport.

Last Sunday the Colts D did not give up a single TD, yet they lost. I'm sure the game ball went to Jason Myers for his 6 field goals. At this pace, it won't be long before a kicker is the MVP of the league and the highest paid player on the field.
STOP THE INSANITY! NARROW THE GOAL POSTS.

This is not Colts-related, or even football-related, but it does have to do with rule changes.
Giannis Antetokounmpo takes 5 steps ...... that's correct, he took FIVE STEPS for a layup, and then he beats his chest and proclaims that, l "This is my city."
An incredulous Reggie Miller stated that l "If we got those calls when we were playing, we could have played until we were 50."

It's his city, alright ...... his city, his league, his referees, his world ...... it's like professional wrestling.

The refs quit calling travelling on Jordan, they quit calling offensive fouls on Jordan, and they called a foul on an opponent for looking at Jordan the wrong way.
