1. Cincinnati and Houston will play for the AFC championship.
2. The Redskins will finish the regular season at 11-5.
3. Will people ever become so obsessed with safety in football that it will eventually be outlawed or look nothing like the current product?
4. D.J. Hayden will perform the best of all the rookies and will easily make the Pro Bowl.
5. What are the chances that in 10 years the Redskins will have a different name?
6. If you could choose one offensive player, one defensive player, and one special team player to build a long-term team around, who would they be?
7. Which player in the NFL will suffer a career-ending injury this season?
8. I don't think the 49ers are the real deal. I think their success will be over in a year or two.
9. Did any of you play college football? Are any of you closely related to an NFL player?
10. If you could change one thing in the NFL, what would it be?

I don't think there is anything wrong with what the league is doing in terms of safety. I believe not long after the birth of football, passing was implemented for safety reasons. So the game has been evolving ever since its beginnings, and will continue to evolve.
In the end, the owners are the ones that empower the Commish to make these changes. I highly doubt that they would do anything to drastically affect the game to the point where it would lose its popularity. I don't know much about boxing, but I don't think it has change that much and look where it stands in terms of popularity.
