Allow receiving teams to take possession of onside kicks out of bounds

Per the NFL Rulebook:

Penalty: For a kickoff out of bounds: The receiving team may elect to take possession of the ball 25 yards from the spot of the kick or at the out-of-bounds spot.


It sure would be nice to prevent an onside kicking team from continuing to try until they succeed. That's super annoying.

Thats my understanding also, although in NCAA Team R can have 5 yards enforced from the succeeding spot (OOB spot in this case).

Again, I've not see this happen in MFN, if it does, then it needs addressing imo.

i think best thing is wait until you see something like this happening MFN before you go posting a suggestion thread though that is my 2 cents nothing more or less

Punisher, LMAO. I did not post the OP, nor did I make a thread on this...I am merely stating that I have not seen this happen in MFN (wrongful enforcement in a game on onsides kicks)....one can be thorough in his wherewithal.

I also went on to say that if this does happen, it should be corrected!!!

It is a genuine pity your teams do not reflect your competitive activeness on the forums.

I've seen it happen more than once. It is an annoyance. It doesn't happen often, but it does happen. Cost me a game, too.

Needs correcting then imho.

I shouldn't have made two threads about this. One was too many. I will be continuing this discussion (and then finally ending my part of it) in the "Allow receiving teams to take possession of illegal onside kicks" thread.
