Agree. Another one to eliminate: Horsecollar rule. No one gets hurt by that

I have to agree with the game commentators regarding targeting

It should simply be a 15 yard penalty. No disqualifications.

How about 15 yards and 1 point is awarded to the opposing team?

That’s not the type of penalty that you have for a rule that you don’t want to get broken

so guilty player penalty is 15 yards, the other players penalty is a concussion?

Get rid of face masking rules too. They’re silly and 100% unintentional every

Used to be a 5 yard “incidental” version and 15-yard version for grabbing and pulling or twisting with it. That works

If you got rid of the facemask rule players would intentional try to grab it...

DQ is a bit much, yet does seem like more than a simple personal foul infraction

Targeting is potentially serious. I’d vote out for 15 minutes the first

I hate trying to judge intent. Makes it way too subjective

The point of having it be a disqualification is to prevent players from doing it

In the replay his head snapped hard left, so definitely there should be a stiff penalty to targeting like that

Even a second infraction shouldn't be a full game suspension, maybe a quarter or even a series..

Make it 25 yards, with no 1/2 the distance to the goal crap, and I’m on board

So if it the ball is inside the 25 yard line the penalty phase is a TD is awarded?

Yes. That’s my preference. But if not that, then the 2 yard line.
