5. The game should be played AFTER the Super Bowl.

It makes no sense to play it before. Many of the best players can't play when it's before the Super Bowl. This year there was no Eli, Brady, and others.

Play it after and encourage both sides to go at it. Of course, I'm not sure how many players want Ray Lewis coming at them at full speed for an all star game.

The other leagues don't seem to worry about the un-seriousness of their games. I don't know why the NFL should be different.
