"The NFL fined Micah Parsons $150,000 for unsportsmanlike language"
The automatic first down penalties need to be abolished,
League bails out certain teams in the 4th quarter every week .
They should change some penalties so they give yardage but don’t change the distance for a first down.
For example let’s say it’s, 3rd and 5 at the 50 and the defense gets an encroachment penalty. Normally it’d be a first down, what I’m suggesting is that it stays 3rd and 5, but now at the 45 yard line.
You’re getting downvoted but you’re completely right. Most defensive penalties that occur prior to or after to a play should move you further up the field without changing the yards to go.
