If it's higher than 10 you lost yardage somehow, whether by being tackled behind the starting line("line of scrimmage") or a penalty or whatever.

Thats the shit right there.

Cool man. So nrl get 6 attempts to get to tryline (touchdown) position matters here as well. Some plays can gain you another 6 attempts.

So attempting to gain yards by (what appears to be a bad play) only to "trick" your opponents with a zig instead of a zag can be a play? As long as you net 10 yards you get another go?

Fuck yeah.

I dunno what was invented first but all footy styles seem to be variations on themes.

Union has no set number of attempts to gain meters (yards) but other limitations.

League has 6 "sets" but can manipulate more within rules.

NFL has limited number of sets that are changed by acheiving a set number of yardage. Unless other criteria are met.

Nice. Thank you.
I will definately have more dumb questions.

We also have the forward pass.

Sorry you don't got. 🤥

There it is.
We have the forward kick to regain possesion. So lets call it even.

I'd argue Baseball is more strategic than American Football but that might be my bias showing as Baseball is also my favorite sport.

Sadly though it's being destroyed with ridiculous rule changes. Over 100 years of us playing it the same way and they want to introduce pitch clocks and ghost runners. Its unfortunate but MLB died in 2020.

On the American football bit...idk if that's why nobody is posting. I think it's more likely that everyone has been banned and so it's just the same 20 people posting, and we can only post so much. Idk how interesting the sport is when I hear more about Taylor swift and the NFL than the NFL itself.

They did mess up the MLB BIGLY, I agree. It’s for ratings

Sadly, since america will be half Venezuelan at this rate within the next decade, baseball would’ve been just fine with the old rules

Football was invented before Australia was a penal colony for illiterate Irish people like your grandfather Mel Gibson

Aussies have no dead balls. We changed, not them.

Anyway Michael Penix is soft and shouldn't be a 1st round pick.
