Did anyone else see this? The NFL Network will be airing the American Flag Football League starting June 30th. My favorite team is going to be the Roadrunners. The team has such players as Michael Vick, Nick Collins, Jarrett Boykin and Aaron Rouse. Other former stars are OchoCinco, Jacoby Jones, Jason Avant and others.


Here is the rules

General Rules
7-on-7, twelve person roster
60 minute game, played over two 30 minute halves
Running clock, except for the final two minutes of the second half
Field divided into four 25-yard boxes, and first downs are awarded each time the offense reaches the next box
No blocking, kicking, or fumbles
Only one lateral allowed per play

Post-Snap
Once the ball is snapped, the defense has to wait two seconds to rush, and the quarterback will have a total of four seconds to release the ball or cross the line of scrimmage
The quarterback cannot run unless rushed
The defense can blitz five times per half without waiting two seconds
All players are eligible downfield, except for the center
North/south handoffs not allowed but pitches and handoffs to east/west runners permitted

Scoring
6 pts per TD under 50 yards, 7pts for TDs over 50 yards
Teams will have option based on distance to convert PATs of 1, 2 or 3 points

Penalties
Most penalties will not award yardage, but rather a free play or loss of down
Ball will generally go into play at the spot of the foul or the previous spot

Just Imagine this for the next 6-9 years. What a ride it will be 🙂 (PS, Zero should charge for this)

Why bother with flag football? The way they are changing the rules, the NFL will BE flag football in a couple of years!🤣

I would probably watch it. And if it was entertaining, i would keep watching.
If not, I’d watch something else.

My kids play flag. It is different. My son as an offensive lineman likes playing Defense on flag. My daughter is super fast and is her team's top running back. I would give it a watch for sure.

beast (27-Mar) : You saw only 4,201 of my mocks? 🥺 I think that means you missed more than half of them 😢
dfosterf (27-Mar) : Does anyone know what Lambeau field improvements got put on hold? My guess would be for the 2025 draft
Zero2Cool (27-Mar) : It's like listen, you made 4,201 mocks, no shit.
Zero2Cool (27-Mar) : Cuz during the draft "I had them mocked there!" as if it's amazing.
Zero2Cool (27-Mar) : They're fun to do once in awhile. It's people who think they are "content" that annoy me.
dfosterf (27-Mar) : Against tbd
dfosterf (27-Mar) : Answer to your question is yes, it's a Thursday, will be the Chiefs aga

dfosterf (27-Mar) : In my city, they are playing the nimby game, in order to keep some railroad tracks vs. 2 professional sports teams and a concert venue.
dfosterf (27-Mar) : And/Or a city council, of which I haven't seen a good one in a very long time
dfosterf (27-Mar) : That sounds like a Mayor, not a city.
buckeyepackfan (26-Mar) : Packers halt scheduled 80mil upgrade of stadium until lease agreement talks are restarted

Zero2Cool (25-Mar) : Fining them is the goal, per the people who made the rule anyway.
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Still waiting on the kickoff rule changes. Did hear yesterday that the touchback proposal will now be the 30 yard line, not the 35
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Probably speed of game issues with your proposal
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Hopefully the refs don't get in the habit of throwing flags on this
beast (25-Mar) : I think when it comes to Challenges should get two strikes, so unlimited challenges as long as they keep winning them, but 2 wrong then done
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Still subject to the fines etc
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Yes, I should have been more specific. Also, they are now saying it would be a 15 yard penalty. That makes more sense .
