lancerman Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 This and the new catch rule are going to make defenses irrelevant. NFL got the Super Bowl they wanted last year with almost no defensive stops and 3 hours of offense. Look to see another stats spike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watch that horse collar though and if you go too low and take out his legs...that’s bad too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This needs to be reviewable, especially in the case of ejections, and it needs to apply equally to all players, but it's at least an attempt. Bringing in the NCAA's targeting rule would be better, but the NFL hates following the NCAA's lead on anything so I don't see that happening. Maybe the MMA and boxing should penalize fighters for taking shots at an opponent's head. I mean sure it limits the sport but we don't want someone in a violent sport to get seriously hurt do we?

You are signing up for brain trauma/body deterioration in exchange for large sums of money. Don’t like it? Don’t play. This mindset will eventually kill football as the extent of that deterioration is more widely known and understood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many of these will favor the patriots What rule change has ever favored the Patriots? Every rule change in the NFL has been to get rid of something that favored the Patriots. There’s been a catch controversy for years and it took a couple Patriots games to make it an NFL priority Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No it won’t because people will do just about anything if the price is right. The deterioration is more widely known and understood now and it did nothing more than lead to a couple players retiring while you still have kids coming out of college in droves signing their names up for the draft. Many of those same kids grew up in poverish situations and football is their way out of it. Do you really think they’re gonna pass up the opportunity to make millions and take care of their families because it will deteriorate their body? If I had the talent and ability I know I wouldn’t if I was in their situation, and so far all the evidence (even after the neurological studies) agrees with me.

DontTazeMeBro Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 If they’re really going to call this like they’re saying it’s going to make the game unwatchable. Runners are just gonna go running upright into the defense? That’s cool More stoppages in play is going to be awesome. Didn’t have enough of those Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eagles23 Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 I feel like some clarification, examples need to come out. They can't literally mean every single football play. Throw the words intent to use the helmet specifically as a weapon or something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This concussion hysteria has been going on for about a decade. It hasn’t lost the NFL any fans. Parents haven’t stopped letting their kids play in droves. And even if they did, the types of kids we’d be losing wouldn’t be missed. Politicians will never ban the game because it would be career suicide. The game is in no danger over this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
