[QUOTE="CEB, post: 937525, member: 4905"] I mostly agree with all you’ve said. Proposed changes, good or bad, aren’t changing game length (program length) much. They’re reducing football plays though. One of the reasons cited for these proposal was safety. Fewer plays = fewer injuries. If they’re being honest about the desire for safety, that could be the biggest reason the running clock on incompletions doesn’t get adopted. Late in games, it’s actually a good play for a QB to throw it away. Avoid the hit, avoid a mistake, stop the clock. If that goes away, you’ll see QBs trying to make a play, try get out of bounds or even take hits on run plays because there is little incentive to throw it away. Maybe they ultimately treat it like some other rules and only stop for incompletions in the final two minutes. ETA- there is a lot of talk about “average length” of games. Televised games have ALWAYS been longer than non-televised. Is the length of games REALLY increasing or is the “average” length increasing because more games are televised? Someone here is surely inclined to pull the data... :unsure: [/QUOTE]
