At league meeting next week, NFL owners will vote on proposal to allow a second player to come off IR in season. Likely to be approved.

NFL owners are also expected to approve the proposal that was previously tabled to reduce regular season OT from 15 to 10 minutes.

like the first possible/probable rule....second one is a little odd to me.............

Agree. There are too many commercials so let's reduce playing time.

Finally they are doing something smart (2nd IR'd return) now they need to expand the rosters

I like to see them just make it 61 and do away with the PS.

And why not dress more for game day?

If that happens, even LS will be in demand. Good thing Tombert thinks ahead!

Yes dress more too perhaps 8 more...

The 53 needs to be the game day roster at least.

I've never understood any of the need for IR. Why does a guys year have to end cause he is hurt. With modern medicine and MRI why can't I just prove to independent league doctors that he is hurt. I see know other sport with these designations.

I agree with the larger roster and awarding more HATS on game day. All this will lead to more regular season games and MORE team stars being injured. How the HELL is Bell going to make a 19game regular season and 1 EXTRA play off game???

This is a positive move. It definitely helps the players so someone injured during the offseason or early in the year doesn't get IR'd when they can return and actually play during the season. I agree there should be some game day roster expansion happening. We need more hats on Sunday's. Maybe the concept of the practice squad needs to go and everyone is just on the roster.

Owners passed the 10 min overtime change. http://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/19444808/nfl-owners-agree-shorten-ot-10-minutes

Roger dodger is bringing back group celebrations after a TD. http://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/19444910/nfl-relax-celebrations-rules-allow-more-freedom

So more ties with shorter OTs and now they can do 3 pumps on TD dances instead of 2.

Not sure I get the OT rule, but the IR and celebration rule are solid moves. Fewer commercial breaks (though longer commercials) expected this year as well.

There use to be 5 commercial groupings per quarter, now there will only be 4 commercial groupings per quarter,.....Oh and the 5 group was actually 20seconds less the the NEW 4 GROUP....... WTF?????????


Another thing I read was they are doing away with the 75guy cut down. They will run with the 90 all the way up to 53man rooster cut. It gives teams more evaluation time for on the edge prospects.

F-U-C-K the "rog" (just for general purpose)

I'm good with the IR change
