Sherman as always had a lot to say...

This is what former players and media created when they started hounding the league about concussions. The NFL has no choice but to implement stupid rules like this which make it almost impossible to tackle in some situations. Now everyone will bitch that the rules are stupid, but we all tune in.... Because we're degenerates.

When men played the game, they would have NEVER complained about head trauma after retirement. New sue happy generation is trying to fock up our whole existence. Thankfully, Donnie is putting a stop to their reign. It's so fun to watch their meltdowns over losing control.

It's the new rule that they will use to manipulate scores.

The more gray area the better! The specifics of the Pass Int. rule allow the Zebras to call P.I. every play. The choose when and where to make these critical calls. And NOT always make the obvious call. Perfectly controlled chaos! Makes FIXES much much easier!

They have been transitioning NFL to entertainment for over a decade now.
Quarterbacks are the stars. They are protected, and so are receivers. Now this madness.

My focus will remain in other sports although I will be watching the Overs
because the result of this and other calls will be ineffective containment defense
and higher scoring from free yardage.

Capping will be a lot easier. Overs. QB's. Pass Receivers.
We will see 75-100 totals become commonplace.

It never will be the gridiron again. It is a stage! Women refs, commentators, analyst? (really), players,coaching-the sport is pure shyt. When I played the objective was to hurt the QB and other players to deplete the other team of their starters. Not by cheap shots which seem to be the only time these rat fast pucie DB's put a hit on someone.

Should adapt the CFL concept and be able to challenge penalties

[klemopixx]

Don't you think that offenses will take advantage of this rule and slowly convert to more of a power running game? If you can get a RB through the line with a head of steam, how is a defense going to bring him down before he peels off 10-15 yards? Now he doesn't have to worry about that LB steamrolling him anymore. This rule will definitely change strategy for offenses. How's a defense supposed to stop a team in a goal line situation?

I absolutely hate this new penalty/rule.

gonna ruin the game, and the way i bet the games. nfl is trash

[ZINISTER]

i said the same thing Pixx. What can you do to stop a run at the goal line? The can call it on the offense. Will they? NO They want MORE fockn scoring. Hopefully the Not For Long will slow their own demise down by dropping this rule. I feel it is more of a move to keep from getting sued by players. This way the crafty lil Jews can say they did everything in their power to keep players safety a paramount concern of their league. They see where the players are going to go after they are broke and still stupid. They will go to the courts and lawyer up. Just saying...

[eurambaba]

I don't understand this rule at all.
