kicking off from 35 yard line, has just bout take the fun out of football..I sure do hope they don't keep getting crazy, cause i really can't get into the games like this,

I don't like it either.

If all these kicks are going to go out of the end zone, then you might as well just start at the 20 and forget about kickoffs altogether.

So true, this is ridiculous. They need to change this rule back. Before the regular season would be nice.

That's the way I see it. May as well just have one long commercial break after a score then come back with the other team ready to go at the 20.

Six out of the seven kickoffs in the Chiefs/Bucs game tonight went for touchbacks, and the seventh probably should have as well. Not fun to watch at all.

Wait till reg season. I'm guessing the goal will be too kick high and drop the ball in bf the goal line. Still going too be horrible field position for teams. I don't see them changing it back though. Part of the new cba to keep players safe. I also don't like it.

35 kicks were returned yesterday, 1 for a touchdown. There were 16 touchbacks. It's not going to change.

I'm surprised so many were returnable.

I don't like the way this rule is being played out though. It'll be interesting at the end of the year to see how many touchbacks there are this season on a percentage basis compared to last season.
