Ugly, ugly game for the Skins...not what I thought they would be playing like. On the other hand, Giants 7, Jets 3.

And this is the first I've really heard some of the rule changes spelled out.
any thoughts on them?

I love all of them. It's about time the defense gets a rule or two in favor of them.

Here is my impression of them, as of now.
Force out rule: still unsure. It sounds OK, and definitely benificial to the defense, but if it is how they outlined it in the game I have to find fault in that at least if you get one foot in and get pushed out...I'd give it to the reciever. Thats just me though.
5-yard facemask: Dangerous thing to play with. It will all depend on the enforcement. I think that if too much facemasking is allowed, it is just asking for trouble. I also don't want to see 15 yarders enforced on petty plays. That is why I was ok with 5 yard facemask calls.
Defensive speaker thing: Eh, thats fine. I couldn't GAF about that one. The game is moving in favor of technology and I'm fine with them using headsets (thats how I understood the rule, sort of missed that one)
Defer kick-off: Dad and I both agreed....WTF does this mean? We are missing something, or the rule makes no sense, so any input is appreciated

There is a large field of play. If you can't get both of your feet in bounds no matter what the circumstance then it shouldn't be counted in my mind. I think the defensive backs should at least have a shot on those outside sideline routes.Here is my impression of them, as of now.

The defer kickoff is for the home team I believe. They can opt to not flip the coin and give the other team the ball to start the game.

Oh....Thats stupid IMO and gives more hometown advantage than there should be in that posession/direction choice is no longer luck.
Oh well, another touchdown against

Most teams want the ball in the first half anyway.

Steve Smith burning a third string DB doesn't concern me so much.Uh, I think BuddyLee may have gone out the back of his home, and puked; because the scoe is now 41 to 0 - Carolina.
Sad, if you're a 'skins fan. However, the season isn't lost YET!!
I think that first game of the season will tell us a lot about the rest of the Skins season. If they're going to do anything they better do it quick.

Don't forget the fact that 3/5 of the first games are on the road against division rivals. The start of the season is going to be a very important step.
