I hate all of that. Who is the chucklehead in charge?

I like the no punt rule. Soccer should adopt that. Once you cross midfield no passing it all the way back to your goalie.

I foresee a situation with time running out and 4 points behind and it would only be a 55 yard field goal so quarterback takes a shotgun snap and immediately takes a knee and calls time out so as to have the opportunity for a 60 yard field goal. I don't like it.
