The goal posts are still on the goal line in Canadian football. I've been watching for over 50 years and have never seen anyone run into it. There have been a couple times when a pass would hit it on the way into the end zone, but still very rare. We keep it on the goal line because then the ball is still in play if a field goal or extra point is missed. Missed field goals and extra points can be returned. The end zones are 20 yards deep, so that's a lot of territory behind them. And of course, 15 yards wider than US football.

It's more like they extended the endzone 10 yards past the goal post. In the old days, I think there was just an end zone line with the goal post on it.

Until 1927 goalposts for both college and the NFL were on the goal line, moved to end line after that. NFL returned them to goal line 1933.

They had special wide hash marks for punting out of your own end zone

Gotta thank rugby for that one. Where do you think football came from? lol.

Too many ommisions to be a credible reference. 👎

The NFL with its new rules is destroying football. Football was always an extreme sport. Stop feminizing the game. Get rid of your safety rules and let the players play. You have to allow blocking and tackling. If you want to protect the quarterback, get rid of the holding call for the center, guards, and tackles. When I was a kid, there were only two teams on the field. Today, there are three. And the umpires and referees have more yardage and a greater impact on the outcome of a game than the players. The NFL wants to add more referees to the field. How stupid can you be? If this trend keeps up, football will not exist in the future.

Idk why the league made this video when their refs cant call the game correctly. Notice no roughing the passer in this video.

Also you notice how everything is geared toward offense? Yeah this league is a joke.

@@smhollanshead You missed the part when the NFL was sued by 18,000 former players because the league didn't protected them back in the good ole days... You may had forgotten 2013, but the league haven't. Since then, the NHL (former athletes also sued for CTE or other brain injuries) or other contact sports changes their approach of the game.

@@Gucesarl look at his first game. Only 2 of those ints. were probably normal plays. About 3 of the other passes were because the Bill's receiver muffed the passes

Absolutely correct. The OL rule change was one of the biggest changes ever made in the game. Inexcusable that it was missed.

Forceout rule Ight imma head out....

TheAlfrulz : For the OL rule change, yes in general it did radically help most OLinemen. Then again, many had probably been doing it to some extent. Guard Conrad Dobler said: "I'm just glad they legalized what I've been doing for the past 6 years."

Also forgot to mention the change in the offensive holding sometime in the 70's. Went from 15 yards AND loss of down (!) to 10 yards and play the down over. Think that had an impact on the pass game? You bet.

You know the tuck rule was called against the Pats earlier in the same season right?

1999.

@Intellectual One Actually, It became a rule in 1999. It was voted on in the off-season of 1998 and and was effective from the beginning of the 1999 season until the end of the 2013 season.

@Henry Hudson nobody said anything about it being a rule for Brady or it being made up in the middle of the game, you've created that narrative yourself. And if we're gonna compare the pass interference with the Tuck Rule let's just keep in mind that the pass interference issue was addressed immediately and the Tuck Rule took some time to be rid of. Refs really are just terrible throughout history is what I've learned.

@@Redmenace96 He also was diagnosed with the early stages of Alzheimer's prior to his passing, which is a fate many olden day footballers also had

1 - nil today in soccer, perhaps you've heard of that game called soccer, terribly boring imho for example, i.e. I like higher scores for the most part. Except NBA defenses seem disinterested so I don't find that much of a sport anymore so I shun it. NFL I like.

Neither a bills or chiefs fan, but I've never liked the old ot rules or even the revised rules, unless it benefitted my team especially if heavy trash talking was involved 😅 but no I've always thought should be atleast 1 possession each and if both score then goes to sudden death or until someone gets stopped. Either way I think in at least playoffs and superbowl do full qtr of play especially how that game ended, epic game that ended like that, kinda sucks, everyone that's just a football fan was into it then a sour ending. Neither my teams but I get it. I'd hate to lose like that and be happy we got the luck of the draw and won like that too but hard to brag that won on something like that.

tbh, watching the patriots troll the jets in 2019 was the funniest thing ever.

Give me a break about the overtime rules. They need to go back to the old "first team to score--field goal, touchdown, or safety--wins, period" rule.

@@3243_ So you'd want a game like the super bowl to be potentially decided on a coin toss?

@@bearbrand6626 did ya notice they left out the rule change about goal posts being too low after bellicheck bitched about the Ravens field goal going over the uprights counting? They raised the uprights 5 yards for the Patriots 😂😂😂

It’s because this sport is called (FOOTBALL) back then nobody caught the ball ... or threw it . THEY JUST RAN THE WITH THE BALL . Teams should run with it more often . QBs are too protected. WRs are cry babies too. Stick to the run n smash. I say . The NFL is lost in the passing n catching rules. It’s like theys confused or something. Just Run it then . Keep it simple. That’s how it all got started.

Your Nostrolee O’ Lee O’ Lees bruh it’s was a joke. Chilll

I’m just saying NFL teams should run the ball more . The FB position is dying out. Ya feel me. It’s bad ass when teams just run all day . N defenses caint stop the run n you see how they start tiring ,losing hope .You see it in their faces . They give up n when that happens then it’s over .

Your Nostrolee O’ Lee O’ Lees well not all teams have good o-line and not every running back is like LT emmitt or Barry where they can just bail out their team easily.

True that true that So you slowly weaken them ... with Power I ... Go at them LET THEM CHASE YOU . Have No mercy .let them give up . No ands ifs or buts . Be Dominant ... take the game away from them. Earn your W. Make em remember your number. Until they cannot tackle anyone not anything anymore anytime.

Correction, the refs don’t know what a catch is. Lol. The whole “football move” crap is ridiculous. What is a “football move”?? If a receiver caught the ball, but gets taken down immediately with no movement at all, is it a catch? Because he didn’t make a “football move”.. Take that part out of the rule and we suddenly have a clearly defined catch. It’s like they purposely left that in there so the refs can decide who they want to give a break to.

A catch is having the ball in your possession while having 2 feet inbounds

@@Ozymandatory a "football action" in ref speak is holding possession of a catch; or showing signs of completion for a minimum of 3 steps. What ever that is. Then again who knows. Ha

And then they removed it.

The major pro leagues often use minor leagues to test out rule changes.

​@@fredactminor leagues?

Yea those greaseballs in green bay robbed us

......

now a days they're fucking gods

They are not qb they are gods

A lot of it comes down to teams that used abuse the QB. Now they are over protected, but in the 60's-80's, teams would make dirty hits on the QB that they would never make on the other 10 players on the field. You never really saw themake cheap hits like they did on offensive linemen or even the HB/WR, but the QBs were targeted. Now, you have a stroke zone and have to get written permission and a court order to be in proximity of the opposing QB twice stamped and ratified by congress, which can still be over turned by the Supreme Court.

Same about wide receivers.

The NBA changed the composition of game balls after players complained.

I didn't see you'd already posted this. Here's the game that caused the NFL to make the change: www.nfl.com/videos/arizona-cardinals/09000d5d82a24851/McCown-s-epic-TD-knocks-Vikes-out-of-playoffs-in-03

Agreed. 15 yards maximum. A defender who pushes a receiver shouldn't get a 50+ yard penalty.

They tried yet the refs were/are still blind when it comes to pass interference

@Stephen Caldarola No idea but it drives me nuts when they do that lol

Tony Dungy is the most recent player to intercept a pass and throw an interception in the same game.

Great video. Nice detail. Two other important rule changes from 1978 could've been mentioned. One, offensive lineman were finally allowed to fully extend their arms and open their hands while blocking. This was a radical change for lineman on both sides of the ball as QB's had more time to throw and helped juice passing numbers. Second, they eliminated a rule so on pass plays teammates could now touch or catch a ball deflected by another teammate. This allowed the modern, more successful use of hail mary plays where players try to catch deep passes in groups.

@@sirjtkhan795 copy

also known as 75%

@Harry Engel of course they've geared the rules to encourage more passing. More casual fans enjoy high scoring offensive games, meaning higher ratings so all the rules are geared to help the offense.

@Harry Engel Getting rid of victory formation wouldn't accomplish anything. Even if you make it illegal for the QB to take a knee, teams would just hand it to the RB and have them fall down immediately.

@Harry Engel I can understand that. I'm a Ravens fan (btw good game last week) and we don't particarly buy into that status quo brand of football here either. I feel like we are two of the more physical teams in the league.

@Harry Engel Quickly, on the Mel Blount rule: As a Pats fan, I'd be fine with it if our d-backs could just level guys 15 yards downfield. But it'll never happen. On the other thing: Although I'm not a fan of trying to keep games "artificially tight" (feels like a very NASCAR thing to do), I can understand the desire to have games be undecided at the end. But you can't force teams who are leading to try to pick up yardage by outlawing the kneel down. You COULD possibly speed up the play clock. Like, during the last 5 minutes of a game, have a 30 second play clock. Teams wouldn't be able to burn the entirety of the last 2 minutes, so they'd be more likely to try to do something with the ball.

Evan Goff 6-1

Bo O the refs record?

Aidan Robinson 7-2 🏆

Aidan Robinson 8-2

Agreed. Wider hash marks (at least on 4th down), touchbacks to 20 yard line, and kickoffs to 30 yard line.

djm longer field or i don’t now merge with the cfl

NFL: "We have too many Fans complaining about officiating this season, should we fix it?" "Nah, just release a video on how complicated the rules are and they will forgive us"

Repeal the ty law rule and defenseless receiver rules.

Yeah, and it makes field goals harder to get too.

I remember that! Pretty sure they experimented with it only one game and that was the Pro Bowl in January 2015, but instead the next year (season) they retained normal space between goal posts and that's when they moved the extra point back to 15 yard line rather than narrowing that distance between goal posts.

@Harry Engel I'm not all that worried about it. They've called it way less this year.

Don't forget Cleveland went to Baltimore in 99 2000- and Baltimore won the super bowl 2001 switch should have been browns team

Don't worry-there are still plenty of serious injuries to keep you happy.

No, The Saints got the ball first in overtime and got stopped by the Rams who then scored to win the NFC Championship. A pass interference penalty doesn't give you points.

@@rodneyking4183 you're missing the point that it was a blatant pi that would've given us a new set of downs to score on to prevent the ot

Can’t believe they thought putting a goal post dead center of the touchdown line wasn’t gonna be in players way

Brady entered 2001

Richard Smoker it should have been ruled an incomplete forward pass

Jackass is one word genius

Intellectual One That’s debatable

Harry Engel It did However Brady rule prohibits defenders from lunging at the QBs legs while they are in the pocket and the Rodgers rule prohibits defenders from applying body weight on the QB while they are both going to the ground. Brady tore his ACL Rodgers broke his clavicle

@Harry Engel it is because if anyone lays a finger on those two then theres almost always going to be some bull flag on the play

@Harry Engel okay I'm just saying what I usually see happens with at least Brady maybe it happens less with Rogers Idk. I don't have the stats either

Would also like it to be like hockey where you get credit for an overtime loss towards the standings.

I think they need to play a 10 minute quarter and whoever has the most points wins all quarters after if still tied are 5 minutes

Actually, that was 1979, even though the game was played in January 1980.
