You have to announce your onside kicks now? Are we going to take all the element of surprise out of the game?

What are the rules for onside kicks?
Under the new rule, onside kicks are only allowed in the fourth quarter of games and if the team doing it is losing. The losing team additionally must declare it is attempting the onside kick, thus eliminating the surprise factor prior to the rule change.Sep 16, 2024

Oh no, please don't nascarify pro football.
who cares, gave up on the nfl about the time that fella started taking a knee.
CFL still has traditional onside kick rules. As well as the goalposts at the correct location.
Yeah. The new dynamic kickoff this season changed all kicks. Due to how the players are lined up and forced to wait until the ball is caught, it would be impossible to both kick or recover an onside unless you let the other team know. The dynamic kickoff is a failed experiment, in my opinion, since you can still touchback. So kickoffs are still nearly entirely ceremonial, as they were before.

Too many concussions already after only three games. Cutting down on the number of onside kicks could maybe cut down on those head banging onside kick type collisions which can be more common in these do or die desperate scenarios.
Welcome to the world of NASCAR.
Does everyone now get a blue participation ribbon when the game is over also?
I have no idea what you guys are talking about. Football and sports in general bores me.
No because blue is offensive to some. They will now spend the rest of the season arguing over what neutral color they can use.
The churlish touchdown end zone ceremonies are not necessary. Score a touchdown and act like you've been there before. Walter Payton, great sport that he was, just dropped the ball after he scored and scooted back to the sidelines.
No drama.

Since when have onside kicks not be announced?
While not officially, that formation cannot be mistaken.

You used to be able to line up like normal and do an on side kick
The NFL is all fixed anyway...
I'm not a fan of the new kick-off rules. Didn't see anything wrong with the old old rules. It's a live ball at all times unless it goes out of bounds.
I'm also not a fan of the shift ban in MLB. You get 7 fielders and they should be able to play wherever they want to play.
Mel Kiper calling for the ban of two high safeties. In all the silliness, they NFL might consider it.

Fine, ban two high safeties. I'll play nickel and have my corner play deep.
