Why bother even having kickoffs if every kick is just going to sail out the endzone with no possibility of a return, or trying to pin the opposition deep? It was bad week 1, and bad again here in week 2.

Just start out from the 25 and be done with kickoffs/returns entirely, instead of this farce. “Stopgap” excuse be damned.

SB nation talked about this and proposed a solution. Basically, the team that scores gets the ball back with a 4th and 15. They'll punt in most circumstances, which is less dangerous and more entertaining than a kickoff, but in a do or die situation they still have a chance.

The whole video is worth watching but the actual proposal is at 14:11

I think some of our teams with non-existent defenses would still prefer kick offs.
