Can’t believe they thought putting a goal post dead center of the touchdown line wasn’t gonna be in players way
The goal posts are still on the goal line in Canadian football. I've been watching for over 50 years and have never seen anyone run into it. There have been a couple times when a pass would hit it on the way into the end zone, but still very rare. We keep it on the goal line because then the ball is still in play if a field goal or extra point is missed. Missed field goals and extra points can be returned. The end zones are 20 yards deep, so that's a lot of territory behind them. And of course, 15 yards wider than US football.
It's more like they extended the endzone 10 yards past the goal post. In the old days, I think there was just an end zone line with the goal post on it.
Until 1927 goalposts for both college and the NFL were on the goal line, moved to end line after that. NFL returned them to goal line 1933.
They had special wide hash marks for punting out of your own end zone
Gotta thank rugby for that one. Where do you think football came from? lol.

QB:So what the play coach?
Radio:ahh 10-20 there was a murder on 23 park street
QB:THE FCK?
Magine if he called that place and they actually ran it
The qb confused screaming the police officer why are you screaming
NFL: "We have too many Fans complaining about officiating this season, should we fix it?"
"Nah, just release a video on how complicated the rules are and they will forgive us"
Too many ommisions to be a credible reference. 👎
The NFL with its new rules is destroying football. Football was always an extreme sport. Stop feminizing the game. Get rid of your safety rules and let the players play. You have to allow blocking and tackling. If you want to protect the quarterback, get rid of the holding call for the center, guards, and tackles. When I was a kid, there were only two teams on the field. Today, there are three. And the umpires and referees have more yardage and a greater impact on the outcome of a game than the players. The NFL wants to add more referees to the field. How stupid can you be? If this trend keeps up, football will not exist in the future.
Idk why the league made this video when their refs cant call the game correctly. Notice no roughing the passer in this video.
Also you notice how everything is geared toward offense? Yeah this league is a joke.
@@smhollanshead
You missed the part when the NFL was sued by 18,000 former players because the league didn't protected them back in the good ole days...
You may had forgotten 2013, but the league haven't. Since then, the NHL (former athletes also sued for CTE or other brain injuries) or other contact sports changes their approach of the game.
Sorry if my English is not very good.

Crazy Dog Media so that’s the problem with Nathan Peterman at the Bills: he threw interceptions because he thought that rule was in place!
Gustavo Lovatto lol Peterman could not even start his car.
@@Gucesarl look at his first game. Only 2 of those ints. were probably normal plays. About 3 of the other passes were because the Bill's receiver muffed the passes

Just an fyi, look at the tackle. It was late but in no way was that tackle suspension worthy
@@anonymousperson3023 it wasn't just that tackle. It was a series of plays that got him suspended
Great video. Nice detail.
Two other important rule changes from 1978 could've been mentioned. One, offensive lineman were finally allowed to fully extend their arms and open their hands while blocking. This was a radical change for lineman on both sides of the ball as QB's had more time to throw and helped juice passing numbers.
Second, they eliminated a rule so on pass plays teammates could now touch or catch a ball deflected by another teammate. This allowed the modern, more successful use of hail mary plays where players try to catch deep passes in groups.
Your #2 actually made how Pittsburgh beat the Raiders via Franco Harris legal
Absolutely correct. The OL rule change was one of the biggest changes ever made in the game. Inexcusable that it was missed.
Forceout rule
Ight imma head out....
TheAlfrulz : For the OL rule change, yes in general it did radically help most OLinemen. Then again, many had probably been doing it to some extent.
Guard Conrad Dobler said: "I'm just glad they legalized what I've been doing for the past 6 years."
Also forgot to mention the change in the offensive holding sometime in the 70's. Went from 15 yards AND loss of down (!) to 10 yards and play the down over. Think that had an impact on the pass game? You bet.
This was absolutely riveting. I had no idea I'd find The Rules so damned interesting. Well done.
this guy probably smells like feet
And greasy cheeseburgers
Get out of here. We all know it's you Alberto Riveron.
The lions have been getting screwed by odd rules since 1932
2030: Tackling is now a penalty
then the refs gonna some how miss a call lol
Yes please make the game safer
Edgar Mota you’re joking right....
2050: Moving is now a penalty
Fuckoff grandpa
You forgot to mention that in 2015, the defense could now return a failed extra point attempt the other way for two points
This is what I was trying to think of, was it a touchdown before or no points?
No points. The play was dead and the defense could not score on a failed PAT or 2 pointconversion
Yet, in 2019 we _still_ don't have helmet cam, which I remember being used in the old World League(WLAF, which became NFL Europe in the mid-90s), in 1992.
Thanks for doing this NFL Throwback!!! I’ve been wanting a video for a while! 👍🏼 💯
Forceout rule

Who would've guessed the one owner that voted to keep the Tuck Rule would be *drum roll* Robert Kraft!!!
You know the tuck rule was called against the Pats earlier in the same season right?
1999.
@Intellectual One Actually, It became a rule in 1999. It was voted on in the off-season of 1998 and and was effective from the beginning of the 1999 season until the end of the 2013 season.
@Henry Hudson nobody said anything about it being a rule for Brady or it being made up in the middle of the game, you've created that narrative yourself. And if we're gonna compare the pass interference with the Tuck Rule let's just keep in mind that the pass interference issue was addressed immediately and the Tuck Rule took some time to be rid of. Refs really are just terrible throughout history is what I've learned.

I wonder if my great-great granddaddy bitched and complained about the league getting “soft” in 1948 and that “snowflakes” was ruining the game.
Tbf they didn’t have as much power and therefore as many concussions. If you don’t believe in cte that doesn’t make you tough, it makes you an idiot
Otto "f'n" Graham got 15 stitches, a face bar, and kept on playing. Tough as nails, and he has a lot to be proud of. Didn't let the team down when they needed him. Old skool.
@@Redmenace96 He also was diagnosed with the early stages of Alzheimer's prior to his passing, which is a fate many olden day footballers also had
Also, of COURSE the first successful 2-point conversion in NFL history was Bill Belichick's team.
They keep changing it to make it easier for offenses to score, thus attracting more fans...crazy.
1 - nil today in soccer, perhaps you've heard of that game called soccer, terribly boring imho for example, i.e. I like higher scores for the most part. Except NBA defenses seem disinterested so I don't find that much of a sport anymore so I shun it. NFL I like.
Hard to believe the refs know none of these
Ravens SuperBowl 54 Champions honestly 😂
I hope your name is correct
You're jinxing us with that name.
Did ya notice, they left out the rule changes about legal formations after Harbaugh cried that the Pats were being too tricky?
@@bearbrand6626 did ya notice they left out the rule change about goal posts being too low after bellicheck bitched about the Ravens field goal going over the uprights counting?
They raised the uprights 5 yards for the Patriots 😂😂😂
It says something about how good you are when they make a new rule to stop you: *8:05*
It says something about how popular you are when they make a new rule to help you: *12:48*
The biggest rule change this season isn't the ability to challenge non calls, it's the referees refusing to admit they are ever wrong.
100yrs and y’all still don’t know what a catch is
It’s because this sport is called (FOOTBALL) back then nobody caught the ball ... or threw it .
THEY JUST RAN THE WITH THE BALL .
Teams should run with it more often .
QBs are too protected.
WRs are cry babies too.
Stick to the run n smash. I say .
The NFL is lost in the passing n catching rules. It’s like theys confused or something. Just Run it then . Keep it simple. That’s how it all got started.
Your Nostrolee O’ Lee O’ Lees bruh it’s was a joke. Chilll
I’m just saying NFL teams should run the ball more . The FB position is dying out.
Ya feel me. It’s bad ass when teams just run all day . N defenses caint stop the run n you see how they start tiring ,losing hope .You see it in their faces . They give up n when that happens then it’s over .
Your Nostrolee O’ Lee O’ Lees well not all teams have good o-line and not every running back is like LT emmitt or Barry where they can just bail out their team easily.
True that true that
So you slowly weaken them ... with
Power I ... Go at them LET THEM CHASE YOU . Have No mercy .let them give up . No ands ifs or buts . Be Dominant ... take the game away from them. Earn your W.
Make em remember your number. Until they cannot tackle anyone not anything anymore anytime. Who’s soft now!!!
“That’s all I got to say bout that “ - Forrest Gump
Great job. I learned a lot of the new things in this video 👍
I know this was uploaded in 2019 so I'll update up to 2022 season.
In 2020 they added a rule that teams cannot manipulate the clock, like what Belichick did to the Jets, and got mad when Vrabel did the same thing to the Patriots.
In 2021 they added a rule where a second forward pass would result in a loss of down.
In 2022 both teams in post season overtime can have a chance to score a touchdown, since everyone got upset Josh Allen never got a chance to get on the field when the Chiefs drove down the field to score an overtime touchdown.
Neither a bills or chiefs fan, but I've never liked the old ot rules or even the revised rules, unless it benefitted my team especially if heavy trash talking was involved 😅 but no I've always thought should be atleast 1 possession each and if both score then goes to sudden death or until someone gets stopped. Either way I think in at least playoffs and superbowl do full qtr of play especially how that game ended, epic game that ended like that, kinda sucks, everyone that's just a football fan was into it then a sour ending. Neither my teams but I get it. I'd hate to lose like that and be happy we got the luck of the draw and won like that too but hard to brag that won on something like that.
tbh, watching the patriots troll the jets in 2019 was the funniest thing ever.
Give me a break about the overtime rules. They need to go back to the old "first team to score--field goal, touchdown, or safety--wins, period" rule.
@@3243_ So you'd want a game like the super bowl to be potentially decided on a coin toss?
7:16 thats Paul Krause? imagine a safety playing placekicker today and throwing a pass 😂
Tony Dungy is the most recent player to intercept a pass and throw an interception in the same game.
It's amazing how many seemed like they been around for every but they are more recent then I thought
Wow another great video, its interesting to see the cause and effect of certain plays that changed the rules. I didn't know the NFL has players like the NBA that force them to change the rules.
The NBA changed the composition of game balls after players complained.
Excellent video with the info, thanks.
There's something this video made me remember.
How is Don Coryell not in the Hall of Fame?
Holy shit. Two-Point Conversions weren't in the league until the 90's.
Great video... I enjoyed that.
2019 also saw the rule expanding the facemasks all the way to the shoulder pads

And yet we STILL don’t know what a catch is
Correction, the refs don’t know what a catch is. Lol.
The whole “football move” crap is ridiculous. What is a “football move”?? If a receiver caught the ball, but gets taken down immediately with no movement at all, is it a catch? Because he didn’t make a “football move”..
Take that part out of the rule and we suddenly have a clearly defined catch. It’s like they purposely left that in there so the refs can decide who they want to give a break to.
A catch is having the ball in your possession while having 2 feet inbounds
@@Ozymandatory a "football action" in ref speak is holding possession of a catch; or showing signs of completion for a minimum of 3 steps. What ever that is.
Then again who knows. Ha
This was a fantastic video
the early evolution of the rules are interesting....Thanks for this :-)
I love how the CFL has had challenges on PI for years but the NFL put it in this year 😆
And then they removed it.
The major pro leagues often use minor leagues to test out rule changes.
@@fredactminor leagues?
The Dez Bryant catch is a catch in the current NFL rules, he took two steps so he had possession, then fumbled and caught it after he had possession, so really it was a touchdown.
Yea those greaseballs in green bay robbed us
I know I'm late to the party but you are a badass man that was so enjoyable that was fantastic
Great video!
They need to update the pass inference rules
Agreed. 15 yards maximum. A defender who pushes a receiver shouldn't get a 50+ yard penalty.
They tried yet the refs were/are still blind when it comes to pass interference
“Moving the hash marks inside was a mistake.”

Well made, thanks
9:20 the guys neck twisted around
Wow, I forgot about the days when quarterbacks were football players.
......
now a days they're fucking gods
They are not qb they are gods
A lot of it comes down to teams that used abuse the QB. Now they are over protected, but in the 60's-80's, teams would make dirty hits on the QB that they would never make on the other 10 players on the field. You never really saw themake cheap hits like they did on offensive linemen or even the HB/WR, but the QBs were targeted.
Now, you have a stroke zone and have to get written permission and a court order to be in proximity of the opposing QB twice stamped and ratified by congress, which can still be over turned by the Supreme Court.
Same about wide receivers.
Great, great video. I kept pausing while watching it.
I think after watching this I received more training than the current refs.

I love these videos.
Can you please do a video on all rules in effect for the 2020 season?
@5:17 - As of the 2019 NFL season, this means a rules change must have the support of at least 24 teams.
also known as 75%
I started watching American Football in the mid eighties (I live in Northern Ireland) and I can't imagine the sport being half as good if the goal posts were on the front line of the zone. Surely it would give the defence a HUGE advantage the nearer the opposing offence got to the end zone as the posts would get in the way of passing routes in the middle of the end zone. I know that it goes back to the VERY early years of American Football 🏈 but if forward passes weren't allowed I wouldn't be an American Football fan as the forward pass is THE reason why I love the game and not Rugby.
evolution of positions, maybe? im too young to know if there were more or less or name changes or function differences between then and now... idk... thanks for this awesome videos, sorry if my request is stupid :3 (or most possibly done before by you XD )
It’s difficult to keep up with these rule changes unless watching these updates!
Too bad roughing and holding calls can’t be challenged...
@9:19
Refs in 2019: After reviewing the play, we've determined there was no flag on the play. The football act was not egregious enough to overturn the ruling.
@Stephen Caldarola No idea but it drives me nuts when they do that lol
Did the goal posts get narrowed at some point this century, or am I Berenstain Bearing things?
Yeah, and it makes field goals harder to get too.
I remember that! Pretty sure they experimented with it only one game and that was the Pro Bowl in January 2015, but instead the next year (season) they retained normal space between goal posts and that's when they moved the extra point back to 15 yard line rather than narrowing that distance between goal posts.
What about the clock restarting after running out of bounds? I'm almost positive it used to stop every time a play went out of bounds, but now it restarts unless there's less than 2 minutes in the second quarter or less than 5 minutes in the 4th quarter.
Very good vid
Every person who watched this is now more informed than every single ref from the Lions at Packers game on MNF.

The refs outta learn these rules some time
12:50 that synch-up on 'illegal contact' was a slick editing choice
(12:51) I would just like to take a moment to appreciate how perfectly the narrator's words "illegal contact" sync up with the ref's mouth, despite the syncing being completely unnecessary. Nicely edited.
Should be called de-evolution of nfl rules
@Harry Engel of course they've geared the rules to encourage more passing. More casual fans enjoy high scoring offensive games, meaning higher ratings so all the rules are geared to help the offense.
@Harry Engel Getting rid of victory formation wouldn't accomplish anything. Even if you make it illegal for the QB to take a knee, teams would just hand it to the RB and have them fall down immediately.
@Harry Engel I can understand that. I'm a Ravens fan (btw good game last week) and we don't particarly buy into that status quo brand of football here either. I feel like we are two of the more physical teams in the league.
@Harry Engel Quickly, on the Mel Blount rule: As a Pats fan, I'd be fine with it if our d-backs could just level guys 15 yards downfield. But it'll never happen.
On the other thing: Although I'm not a fan of trying to keep games "artificially tight" (feels like a very NASCAR thing to do), I can understand the desire to have games be undecided at the end. But you can't force teams who are leading to try to pick up yardage by outlawing the kneel down.
You COULD possibly speed up the play clock. Like, during the last 5 minutes of a game, have a 30 second play clock. Teams wouldn't be able to burn the entirety of the last 2 minutes, so they'd be more likely to try to do something with the ball.
We need some of the old rules back in the current NFL
Agreed. Wider hash marks (at least on 4th down), touchbacks to 20 yard line, and kickoffs to 30 yard line.
djm longer field or i don’t now merge with the cfl

I would have been more interested in a video about some of the most basic rules and how they came about. Such as, who first required the holding and pass interference rules to be adopted or why does the offensive line have to come set before a play?
Love this video
What about the change in kickoff rules in the last couple of years? I know it included that you couldn’t form wedges on Them.
Any historical narrative that includes the words Nagurski or Nitschke is a win.
You missed the "Steve Tasker" Rule that says you can't go out of bounds and then come back in and make a tackle.
The Holy Roller play was the first play I can remember where it affected me on a deep, deep level. I was 11 years old and watched that game, and I didn't have any rooting interest in either team, but I wasn't a fan of the Raiders. The fact they were allowed to do that play just felt dirty to me, and I kept waiting and waiting to see if they would overturn that call and they never did. To this day that play still brings back memories of that day.
The "force out" rule needs to be added.
It used to be that if a receiver caught the ball, and the defender pushed them out of bounds before their feet came down, the referee could call it complete.
I was at the game that precipitated the rule change. My lowly Cardinals knocked the Vikings out of the playoffs when the Cards scored a touchdown on such a play.

First 2 points conversion in NFL history: Bill Belichick's Browns. So once in a lifetime the Browns are in the right side of the history book
Don't forget Cleveland went to Baltimore in 99 2000- and Baltimore won the super bowl 2001 switch should have been browns team
2020: Tackling is replaced with two hand touch.
Don't worry-there are still plenty of serious injuries to keep you happy.
i really appreciated this
or the designated catch rule. Did you know if you designate a catch on a kickoff. You can choose to do an unimpeded drop kick/field goal. Means you get to kick without the defense rushing you. I have only seen this happen once.
2019: there are and aren't any at the same time!!
The Detroit Lions involved in controversial calls since 1932.
i watch these old nfl films, probably from before 1950, where a runner would be tackled and then get up and start running again. this always perplexed me. I wish would've explained that rule.
Two things I love about these old football looks - Jim Otto, hall of fame center for the Raiders with that classic two bar QB style facemask and the horseshoe loop that comes down from the top to cover his face - classic Raider look. And can you imagine what kind of hits were made that forced the league to adopt the "unnecessary roughness" penalty? Obviously a fair amount of roughness was OK in the early NFL.

Wow. The Detroit Lions literally have been getting screwed by officials/rules since the start of it all!
You didn't recognize the reason for the "challenge of pass interference". It's the NOLA NO CALL all and it cost the Saints a trip to Super Bowl!
No, The Saints got the ball first in overtime and got stopped by the Rams who then scored to win the NFC Championship. A pass interference penalty doesn't give you points.

Surprised you did not address how playoff seedings were determined from 1970 thru 1974 by simply rotating which division winner got which seed. It wasn't until 1975 that home-field advantage was determined by W/L pct.
They forgot to mention intentional grounding
Ok these are not all the rules
What’s the song playing at the beginning of the video?
Seeing video Bill Bellichek in 94 is surreal to me. I was born in 95, so by the time I was into football, he had already gone through all his team jumping drama and was in New England with Brady. I didn't even know of Drew Bledsoe as a kid.
Brady entered 2001
How about the roughing the passer rules thanks to Tom Brady and Aaron Rodgers
Jackass is one word genius
Intellectual One
That’s debatable
Harry Engel
It did
However
Brady rule prohibits defenders from lunging at the QBs legs while they are in the pocket and the Rodgers rule prohibits defenders from applying body weight on the QB while they are both going to the ground.
Brady tore his ACL
Rodgers broke his clavicle
@Harry Engel it is because if anyone lays a finger on those two then theres almost always going to be some bull flag on the play
@Harry Engel okay I'm just saying what I usually see happens with at least Brady maybe it happens less with Rogers Idk. I don't have the stats either
