2008 NFL Rule changes
Posted: Thu Apr 03, 2008 8:58 am
Yeah! The "force out" rule is gone! Now receivers have to get two feet down - under (almost) any circumstance - for it to be a catch. That's one less subjective rule for people to yell/complain/argue/whine about.

No more 5-yard facemask. Now only the serious "twisting or grabbing" facemask will be called.
And they added field goals to the list of reviewable plays.
Kudos to Fisher and the competition committee for fixing some of these rules.
Hopefully they won't pass that crazy playoff reseeding idea. What's the point of having divisions if the division winner is ignored?
And leave the players hair alone. Who cares about hair hanging outside the helmet?
