Like this scenario: Team A has the ball and fumbles. Team B recovers the fumble, returns it a ways, and then it gets stripped and Team A recovers the 2nd fumble. Does recovering and returning the first fumble count as a possession Team B? They technically possessed the ball.

You also eliminate punting/punt block/punt return, which can be a major component of the game.

I think you have an interesting idea and you might be onto something. Considering the game clock is operated by a human, there is some merit to eliminating it's use.

Nope. Turnover on downs or points.

A blocked punt would be a turnover before the end of 4th down.

If teams trade interceptions or fumbles the "original possession" hasn't ended. It's possible to get points on the other team's possession.

5 points for hitting uprights on field goal attempt or 2 points on try after. Safer kick down the middle for fewer points or risky edge kick for more.

Mostly joking, but it would be kinda entertaining.
