    ...are making NFL games much less enjoyable, IMHO. I think it's ridiculous to go through the formality of a kickoff when over 90% of the kicks sail out of the end zone or the returner takes a knee. Move the kickoff back to the 30 yard line (I'm not opposed to moving it to the 25), or just forego a kickoff and let the offense start on the 20. I really thought the NFL would fix this after seeing how boring it became in 2012.

    I understand protecting players...but they're professionals. Let 'em play. Might as well get rid of punts if this is the NFL's rationale...punt returners are subject to the same types of injuries.

    The only positive I see is that the Panthers ST's aren't getting burned.

    NFL doesn't care about fan enjoyment.

    I think the NFL did want to get rid of kickoffs altogether but the proposal was shot down.

    No, they're not obsessed with that at all, are they.
