Every rule change is intended to generate more offense. What is wrong with a well played game that results in a 13 - 10 score. They have done much the same with baseball. They wanted more offense, so they juiced the ball.

With all of the rule changes and other nonsense that the owners agree to, it is tough for me to validate many of these new records that continue to smash the ones set back in the day.
I guess you could say I'm old school and these constant rule changes are deteriorating a game I have loved since middle school.
