    Not too much here. I do agree that it is dumb to require a team to win both challenges before they are awarded a third challenge. We have seen the refs blow an obvious call and force teams to use their last challenge.
    I would prefer the NFL to use the MLB method of review. Have the official put on the headset and talk to the NFL office back in NYC or some studio somewhere. They can have 20 high def tvs look at multiple angles all at the same time.

    I like #10. I always hated the half the distance crap. 1st and 10 from your own 2 yard line. Personal foul on the offense Wow 1st and 11 from the 1. Big punishment. Make it first and 25 or at the very least make the down count. on the opposite and of the field if you can't march off the full yards against the defense put it at the one. 1st and goal from the 10. Personal foul on the defense make it first and goal from the one not the 5.

    Another rule I always hated was the automatic first down on some defensive penalties. 3rd and 20 from your own 20, defensive holding 5 yards and an automatic first down. I can see that one though as it would simply encourage holding by the defense on any third down pass play over 5 yards. I'd rather see 5 yards maybe even 10 and replay the down like most penalties. If the yards make it past the first down marker then fine if not march off the yards and give them the down over. This would need some tweaking. Definitely down on the half the distance one though.

    The holding penalty as you want it would be a problem if it is not a first down too. Instead of 10 yards or more like the PI they give only 5 AND the first down as the penalty. There are still a ton of plays where the DB is grabbing the receiver when he makes his break. Without the first down kicker there will be twice as many DBs holding. Any defense would gladly give up 5 yards instead of a potential 20-30 yards or maybe a TD. That is why they are so willing to grab under the current rule.

    "Changes the spot of the next snap after a touchback resulting from a free kick to the 25-yard line." Is this on punts and Kick Offs? Why did they move up the kick off spot resulting in less returns only now to penalize the team for kicking it into the endzone? I thought with the concussion issues the league wanted less returns on punts and kick offs?
