We are always looking to improve the league in any way that we can and make things as realistic as possible. I have been studying 4th down tendencies in the NFL and trying to see if there is a better, more realistic option for us. Here are some of the things that I have found:
1. Keep the rule as it is (Going for it on 4th down is only allowed on 4th and 1 or less on your opponent's side of the field (past the 50) or on 4th and 7 or less between your opponent's 35 and 40 yard lines.)
2. Allow going for it on 4th down on your opponents side of the field with 1 yard or less to go or on 4th down and 10 or less from your opponents 35-45.
3. Allow going for it on 4th and 2 or less from your own 40 on or on 4th and 10 or less from your opponents 35-45 yard line.
What say y'all?

- NFL teams, on average, attempt just under one 4th down per game.
- In our league, users attempt just over .5 4th downs per game.
- NFL teams generally only go for it on 4th and 1 or less from their opponents 45 yard line or less.
- NFL teams will go for it on on as much as 4th and 10 from between their opponents 35-45.
- Statistics show NFL teams should go for it on 4th and 2 or less from their own 30 yard line on.
